Johnson and Evinrude V8 tunnel hull race boats filled the #boatracing grids in the mid 1980’s. This beast of a 2-stroke was step-up from anything prior, including the innovative OMC Wankel Rotary motor w/ 4-Rotors. The V8 also broke the outboard world speed record held by the mercury v6 but also proved too much for many taking the lives of 4 experienced F1 drivers from #outboard racing history. | Mike Hill
