Is Jake Trotter still alive? Went to school with his son. If memory serves me, back in the late sixties, when the largest size outboards were all right at 125 horsepower(with everyone having their own personal strong feelings about which outboard brand is better than the other), Jake campaigned an offshore boat that had three outboards on the back...(1) Evinrude, (1) Mercury & (1) Chrysler, in that order!

Nah! That was Howard Weiler's 'Fight and Switch', Bahamas 500, 1969. Finished 6th.

We need Pepe to chime in on this thread. I'm sure he's got a lot of old Pantera Pics.

Pepe was the guy when it came to multi outboards.

What happened to all the outboard race boats....especially the fleet that Mercury had?
