[@mrlandscaping7026]

Cool video surprised it doesn't have more views makes me respect my old Evinrude a lot more

[@c.c.hiliner4753]

This is what made Johnson/Evinrudes bulletproof!!!

[@peteryeung111]

With all the test and QC...no wonder mine still operate after 60 years.

[@carrysmith2008]

AWESOME VIDEO,WHAT A SHAME SUCH A GREAT COMPANY WENT UNDER DUE TO BAD MANAGEMENT.

[@PappyfromtheKeys]

The Caddies in the dyno boat gave way to Chryslers and then finally to V8 outboards. Boat was an incredible mobile drag and thrust measuring device as well as high speed underwater photo and video platform

[@holyaerospirit]

wow look at all that fancy test equipment. I think we where a hell of a lot smarter back then

[@fleetwin1]

Those were the good ol days for OMC....

[@sploosh56]

[@LowCostCncRetrofits]

Great old documentary

[@n4120p]

We were honest back then !!

[@motorhead6763]

grew up with these. Many still running today still! I lived on long island NY. salt destroyed all other motors but I still see 1975 OMC 115v4 and 70 3cylinders still going!!! Yamaha stole omc designs totally.

[@johnelsonjr.6008]

Yes they did

[@peteryeung111]

Back when American made was the gold standard.

[@dynodon7917]

Parole sante

[@JeffSmedbron]

Is that John File at 5:36 on the left checking noise levels ?

[@PappyfromtheKeys]

Sure looks like him. Worked with him for several years. A friend of mine has all of his hand written notes added to a service bulletin folder he carried with him when he was on the road for OMC

[@Tregaskis47]

Where are parts 1 thru 4 of this?

[@kevinbrewer6985]

Loving this, I have a 1983 50hp looper, it runs WO throttle 80% of the time, it runs perfect, we used to build good things in the USA. MAGA!

[@knockywigglesworth1909]

Heavy wide V4 was not the best from OMC. Low on power compared to the black motor competition.

[@TEKKKNO]

What's that hull

[@minibikemadman]

they don't build em like the used to.

[@bartholomewceremony6981]
