The racing handbook doesn't specify a year, so an 80s Johnson should be okay. OMC stands for Outboard Motor Corporation; covers Evinrude and Johnson outboards.
Three CLC pre-production Cocktail Class boats placed in the top four positions in the 6-hp class of the CCWBRA Nationals hosted last Saturday by the Rock Hall Yacht Club in Maryland. The paint on one of these top finishers (#40) was still in the can 24 hours before the race. Aaron, one of CLC's boatbuilders took top honors. Sundowner, the first completed pre-production CLC kit and pictured above, tied for first in the 8-hp class, officially placing second (came in second in the last race, the tie breaker).
A short video of some of the racing is up at proptalk.com.
Hello everyone. My first post here.
I like this project and am looking forward to attending an event and seeing one of these up close. I would like to build one of my own someday. For now I will have to live through the eventures of the fourm.

Any of these races in or near Michigan? Looks like a great project for a grandpa and grandson. How young are the drivers? The Wood duck 12 and 10 are fun but this really looks like fun!!

Why hasn't the design been tweaked so no transom wedge is required for a motor more modern than a 1939? Seems to be too much of a concession to originality for originality's sake!
