I meet Marvin Catrett the owner of Evolution Marine in Morgan City, Louisiana
1987 at a Offshore race in Marathon.
Marvin was big into making lots of horse power out of stock OMC V8 production outboards.
If I remember right the Phase 4 modifications of the OMC V8 was the most powerful.
He supplied three of the Phase 4 V8 engines for a 38 ft Larry Smith built Scarab.
This boat was used as a pace boat and rescue boat at the Offshore races.
A ended up buying this boat and exported it to Patrick Rinne in Finland.

Patrick raced the boat a few times in the Stockholm – Helsinki race 1988.

There was two Evolution Marine Scarab 38 built and rigged the same way.
Also a 43 ft with similar rigging.
Here is a mix of pictures.
In 1999 we traveled to Morgan City in our Motorhome home and parked at his house.
Marvin’s wife Donna made Cajun style crawfish and we had a very good time.
Thanks for all the fun memories Marvin.
