to the article from 1968
könig builds the largest outboard motor of the world
the water-sportily sensation from the year 1968 the first official demonstration of the largest outboard motor of the world with 140 HP, built of könig.
already with test runs reached the boat speeds this make hope for the absolute world record.
the speed test boat were so large, it itself during test trips much lifts and after backwards tilts.
that means with 160 km/h dangerous situation for the test driver.
for this reason became for a test in the back a bearing area cultivated like a negative elevator works, in the back lifts and lift that in front prevented.
the new running engine assembly is by the V-type of two 65 HP of outboard motors developed.
it has 6 cylinders, 3 carburetor, a common fivefold stored crankshaft, battery ignition and generator.
