This is Quincy Looper FB 127 after a complete restoration and rebuild. It was originally purchased and owned by Dick O'Dea. The engine is in great shape and now has new rings and is ready to run or show.

Beautiful, Bob
Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
Bob,
The engine looks great for its age!!
BTW - So do you...HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I believe that you are more ready to "run" than show however!!

Hey Bob, when are you going to restore my Dad's D-Looper and post some pics.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bob. Here is to MANY more years of restoring and RACING.

Very cool Bob. Frank Dempster got my dad starting in racing when my dad was around 12 years old. Frank lived down the street from my dad in Brewster, Ohio. My dad started going to Frank's house helping build boats and motors and eventually doing all of the work on Frank's motors so I'm sure he worked on the engine you have. I'll call my dad tonight and have him check out the pictures of your restoration. Great Job!

A great birthday gift to all us other BRF members from you to us. Happy Birthday Bob.
And I have a question to go along with this. I still have to get the exterior casting of my Konig to look better. It's O.K. like it is, but for the people that come to my house that never raced, I would like it to be more like your beautiful restoration job. The only problem is I don't want to disassemble it. Everything is free. The cylinders look good. Pistons are new. Need to change the ball bearings that the rotary valve belt turns the corner on, but that's no big deal. Some time back Paul posted the name of a good metal cleaner and I looked it up on the internet. At the time I couldn't decide which one of the products would best suit my needs. I need to get this project done and I had planned to get back ahold of Paul to get his ideas, but since I have seen your work, I thought maybe you could pass along a hint or two.
Again.....a fanstastic job. It's guys like you that inspire others to go digging around to find stuff, dust it off, rebuild and reclaim it for it's rightful place in history. And with Paul digging up the dyno cards on the Merc/Quincy's.....WOW!
