In Oct. 1960 I upped that record to 56.693 mph with the same boat and Merc 800 but running a Sportsmaster lower unit (small, the

I mistakenly posted responding to the wrong Roostertail, I thought this was the 1960 issue.
Designed for higher winding Rotax motors.
We run RedLine. A many-times national champion runs BRP (Rotax) XP.
Ain't it the truth!
I don't know if this is the right Marion in Berlin. She ran a day care
in her apt. 6 yrs. ago. We were inside the factory then.

Peter died a few years ago. You'd need to look up Marion in the Berlin phone book
or other info. We were in the factory in 2011.

König means king, very common name in N. Germany. There are many Königs/Koenigs in Texas. No relation to Dieter. Norwegian is Kong so King Kong is King King or Kong Kong.
This rig sits in the show room at Dockside Marine in Galveston, managed by Keith Scotten who
bought it. He says that Renato brought it here for a race and then left it in the U.S., and that

What's the name of the UIM Class, which motors run besides OMC, and what are the rules, please? I can build props for that motor. Same casting as SST60
that I'm now building. I recently sent a new...
The 7" pad of the 14' Allison is optimal. I once widened the pad of a new 13' to 8", the pad was too thick,
transom ran deeper, drug water. On the next 13' I widened it to 7" and that was my fastest...
This class was long dominated by the Merc 500, the first production outboard with tuned exhaust (the Mark 20H 'conversion'
was designed in 1958 by Edgar Rose and produced and run then, but this was...
Very nice photo.
Below, Havasu place mat from 1977.
Wayne, thanks for not naming names, I think all Texans should avoid answering unless no one else can!
Yeah, you're disqualified anyway!
70th birthday party of one of them.
Yeah, Kim Howard. Drove a brown boat/Merc at Havasu, I think. I remembered the name Sandy after I wrote. Chuck said there was an
Eliminator in the pool. Were you there, and have I told this before?...
Reminds me. We probably crossed paths other than at Havasu in 1983. I spent a weekend with Fred Bowden and Frau. We went to a race somewhere, I nearly froze in bermuda shorts and no jacket. It was...
None other. Meatball bought the collection.
Will run a Mk 25 on the FC.
Darrell Beaulier bought a Powercat from Meatball Murray at the Kingsland, Tx.,
AOMC wet meet in Oct. The boat came with original trailer and two 1960 Merc
700s. Darrell needs two 19" pitch...
Interesting post!
Did it have water in it? Shoot it inside with Liquid Wrench, be sure it gets to all bearings. Let it sit. If you can't turn the driveshaft later with vise grips then
tear down the gearcase.
Best are 1980-83. I have a 1981 15 on a fishing boat that turns 6500.
Evinrude XD100 synthetic burns extremely clean and lubricates extremely well.
We've used it for several years now.
We run it 25:1 in our EP motor (6700-7000 RPM), 45SS (7000-7500 RPM) and in
our...
Where on the lake was the plant? I know it's history but when I'm in Austria
I'm 4-5 hrs. from Lago di Como. There's an outboard/boat museum on the
lake too.
Synthetic oil is generally not TC-W3 and in this case it doesn't matter. XD100, Red Line, and Amsoil
work just fine, burn cleaner than TC-W3 mineral oils. Rinkers race using Amsoil, an AOMC Johnson...
I'm very satisfied with XD-100 synthetic in all our classic OMC motors, 2 & 3 cyl. service and racing, 6000-8000
RPM. It burns exceptionally clean and lubricates extremely well. no winterization Is...
The same.
Gene Thibodaux drove this in Mod 50. I bought it from him in 1983, ran SE in the new league
but the boat didn't run with a 75, was glued to the water (bad acceleration) even after I added
a lift...
Get a straightedge. Does the running surface have a rocker? Take it out.
Square the trailing edges at the transom. I now have new props available
for the OMC 2 cyl and 3 cyl loopers, castings OMC...
Hi Jim, I could agree with you if there were a way to calculate that, but the problem is highly
non-unique, is ill-posed. E,g., what pad width and depth would I need to run an 840 lb rig 65 mph with...
I'd hate to think of trying to straightedge a steel or val pad. Putting a pad
on a flat bottom won't work, and it won't be of much use on a semi-V with small deadrise.
My 14.5' Allison weighs about 350 lb and runs about 42 mph with a 1983 Johnson 35,
after a lot of triclky prop work. the pad width is 8". A wider pad would not be faster,
the boat already runs too...
Not necessarily. If you stop and think you'll realize there must be a limit,
because a pad V is faster than a flat bottom, all other things being equal.
On the 13' Allison with OMC 75 an 8" pad was...
The modified exhaust plate came out ca. 1980. There was no measurable effect with an EP boat (6500-6900 RPM)
but Darrell Beaulier told me that on SE tunnels the motors hit a 'wall' at 7200 RPM. The...
Thanks, Joe, no way my Frau could know to invite either you or Wayne.
Organized secretly by Cornelia Küffner (pitmama), mother of Hans Küffner-McCauley,
the better part of McCauley and Son Racing. Celebration took place 21-23 Feb.
in a house on Galveston Beach....
As Allen knows since 2010, I bought the boat new in 1981. Rigged it and George Laycock won the
NOA 40-70 nationals with it at Corbin, Ky. I raced it the next summer and sold it to John Calley who...
Edgar Rose was Don's boss and Edgar was (and is) very much interested in making better props. We tried an OMC prop
in Mod-VP but always used Mercury cleavers, then choppers. I bought OMC props for...
Ron, you're a big part of racing history. I'd also like to see Rasini's daughter since you've raved so much about her.
Very nice series of posts.
I think 1980-83 vs later gearcases is only about gear ratio. I'm not Ware of a different gearcase shape
or size there.
35 at the crank, 30 at the propshaft. They started calling it a 30 in 1984. The 35 is listed in
the parts book through 2001 but no one has ever seen one. Maybe was still labeled 35 in some other...
Only the 31.8 c.i. powerhead. In 1982 they had a nearly 360 degree squish band, in other
years no more than 180 degrees. Why they produced it and then dropped it, no idea.
Jimbo is 191 and won, I remember that boat. I'm 853. Jimbo
signed his name inside my 'Evenrude' cap. Jim Jost photo'ed all
Evinrude winners. Joe Burgess is 56. I went into turn 1 7th, rode just...

I wouldn't think that small fishing gearcase would work well when jacked
up to 21" tr. hgt. or better, too little rudder/skeg to correct against...
I left out the fundamentals. You can't jack the motor up and prop it unless the
bottom is smooth and straight to within a few thousandths of an inch. Any hook or rocker and
you're dead. Smooth al...
