Fantastic result.

Wow..this is a very unique info and facts from Italy.
In 1981 Renato Molinari installed the Evinrude V6 2 liter looper fuel injection powerhead as an inboard and hooked it up to a stern drive with racing lower unit.
He won the UIM R3 2 liter inboard class World Championship same year.
See..now we know where some of the very unique and powerful OMC looper V6 2 liter powerhead ended up.
Thanks for picture and info Roberto Bigi.

Back in the seventies and eighties France was a great country for tunnel boat racing. Probably more International races in France than any other European country.

Famous races like Paris 6 hours and Rouen 24 hours.
