Outboard Racing

More info about the sexy looking 3 cyl. above.

831cc FT-19s powerhead,
The exhaust housing is not a 45ss, it is a shortened production 3-cyl part (same as FT) with the exhaust outlet added.
It used the special sandcast FT-19S powerhead adapter, to be compatible with the special sandcast Mod50 FT/FR exhaust manifold.
45ss swivel and stern brackets
45Sss gearcase

The intended use was for hydros and runabouts in APBA Modified FEH/850cc

Check this out..my memory from the F1-V8 race in Minneapolis 1983 is absolutely correct..

Look at all the spectators on the Mississippi banks..!!

There was so many local people coming up to my #8 Burgess/ASPEN boat in the pit with the Swedish flag talking to me about their Swedish heritage.

The sad part..so far I have not found any pictures of my #8 Burgess/ASPEN boat in the Minneapolis race 1983..

Thanks for sending me pictures Mike Cushing.

I have a great memory when I met Ziggy Boettle at the OMC racing center in Brugge, Belgium 1975. Back then the Swedish Evinrude distributor Huzells made white wooden clogs with the Evinrude logo in blue..see picture.. I did have the right size for Ziggy with me and gave him a pair..

I was laughing so hard when Ziggy tried to walk in his new Evinrude clogs..he just could not walk in them.

I think he took the´m back home and did some practice to walk by himself..

This is a fantastic picture / info I just got from a friend of mine.

Thanks a lot my anonymous friend..

“This was the first 45SS prototype/mock-up.

Ziggy was the technician on the project, and fabricated this mock-up.

The gearcase was made from wood, by the OMC Engineering pattern shop”

Beautiful picture of Jimbo in his #191 Molinari powered by a 3 liter Evinrude CCC looper V6 with fuel injection.

Thanks Troy Boettle.
