Right hand rotation is interesting. And a four blade from Rolla, I'm betting.

Thanks for posting. I never knew these things existed.

Here's one of the same driver on a TV show. Wow, what a crash!

Interesting, but why run the merc V-6 powerhead coupled to a Speedmaster drive unit?

This was a 2 liter inboard class..if I remember right the class was R-2000.
It was a "role bender" and later the 2 liter Merc ON power head was not legal anymore.

Must be a real 2 liter inboard..most Italian drivers was using a hydro with a strait axle

Hehe..A Jackie Wilson..but now the outboard was a inboard....:)

A few pictures of R-2000 boats from Sweden.
Use to be a pretty popular class.
Most Swedes where using a 2 liter Volvo..but BMW and other engines to..

More R-2000 boats..2 liter inboard..# 9 is an old Seebold modified for inboard racing.
Jepp..all in sweden.
