A true combination outboard with a Evinrude 20 or 25HP powerhead on KG7 tower and a Wizard gearfoot. The powerhead has no numbers and at antique outboard meets I took it to the OMC guys could never agree if it was a 20 or 25HP. The Wizard gearfoot is off the Wizard version of the KE7 but has a slightly longer drive shaft and fits the adapter better then the KG7 gearfoot that came with the motor when I bought it. The driveshaft has no splines and is drilled for a middle or rear cotter pin but is 5/8 inches so I used D props with a nylon sleeve and the motor comes with one propeller. With the 21/16 and OMC powerhead it has great acceleration and the drag from the non racing gearfoot only seems to lose about 3 or 4 MPH but doesn't need to be greased with a special tool. I used the same power head on a 1:1 racing lower unit for a while. I used it mostly on a picklefork hydroplane that I bought in the 80s and raced it and used it with many racing motors and it this motor seemed to be similar to a Yamato 80 in acceleration but not quite the top speed. Right now the it has a homemade ignition advance that my dad made when he used it last on a Step Hydroplane he made. I had it with ignition locked fully advanced but is easier to start with the adjustable timing. I can ship it and would take the powerhead off and send it in 2 boxes and am going to Maine in October and can delivery it on the way.

New Jaguar XJ illegal in the USA

Sat, 08 Aug 2009

Jaguar's innovative dual-view screen will be illegal in the US It would be horrifying for Jaguar to discover that they’d built a glorious car like the new Jaguar XJ, only to find they’d dropped a huge clanger by making it an illegal road car in the US. It’s not that bad, but Ian Callum – Jaguar’s design guru – has confessed that the dual-view screen in the new XJ is actually not legal in the US. Whoops.
