Roger Jenkins in his #9 Burgess/Carlsberg/Evinrude V8 “takes off” in Minneapolis GP 1983. (Red X mark)
I was just behind in my #8 Burgess/Aspen / Evinrude V8 and missed Roger with a few feet. (Blue X mark)
One new picture by Nicola Mora after the crash. Not much left.
Thank you.

Drivers, boats and much more.
Very interesting because this was my very first F1-V8 race ever as a driver.
I remember Lake Como was flooded that year and pretty tough race conditions from wind and rain.
Please enjoy.
Thanks to Motorglass Piacenza for the pictures.
Marvin Catrett & Evolution Marine – High Performance OMC V6 and V8 engines.
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.

Well, I was dreaming big when I started boat racing 1971/72.
This is my Volvo Duett “race truck” and the first Piraya 16 with Evinrude power and a home made yellow racing overall. The Hilton Hotel behind the race boat..still a lot of fun and life time memories.
Most races was back home in Scandinavia that year.
Those pictures always makes me smile..Never forget your history..and enjoy your future.
