It would be really fun to see these engines on a course today with the newer boats.
There are four of the latest & greatest 1976 OMC Rotary's unraced & complete with Dyno sheets, & still in their boxes out there somewhere & I BET I KNOW WHERE as well. They are VERY DIFFERENT to the originals & would reliably kick serious butt even today.
