I actually heard that from a OMC race mechanic, hard to prop as they never had 2 boats the same, I guess that was DAH trying to overcome that?

DAH did some good prop work. I personally ran Records and Mercury props, usually. Jimbo had his own prop man. Renato used Rolla. Scotti won Havasu with Rolla props.
The great.. Renato Molinari and Scott Gillman.

OK Lars, What'e the story behind Scott's different shoes???
Lars I just read you have become Evinrude's Ambassador. WOW!!! You offered yourself to APBA and they never answered. Maybe BRP will bring outboard racing back to the level it once was.
I was in Needles last weekend (July 26-29, 2014). On Monday I was talking to Jimbo. Jimbo has a bit of a handicap, his right arm doesn't work very well and therefore working computer is difficult. But as we looked at this Molinari thread, he said I could tell a story about evey boat posted. I believe him.
What I have decided (Jimbo is working on a book, slowly)...I'm going to print out one picture at a time and time him he need to talk for one hour about that boat and I will take notes. The notes will be posted on BRF, but he will have the notes for his book.
Jimbo was there when it all happened and his memory is very good.
I will say this, JIMBO enjoyed your thread Lars... How do Jimbo and I become EVINRUDE ambassadors???
Thanks for your posts on BRF, Lars!

Ron..that was a very nice post. Thank you very much.
First..you are right.. APBA did never answer back to me a few years ago. I do not know why.
I am so proud to be one of five Evinrude Ambassadors. I am the only one with racing background. As you know fishing tournament is the place for selling outboards today so the other four are in to fishing.
Jimbo McConnell is and have always been my #1 racing hero and I have been to Needles to visit him with our motor home a few years ago.
Please check this short video produced by Evinrude about me as a Ambassador..I did not say Jimbo by name but he was one of the Evinrude racing hero's I was talking about.
