    Back in the middle to late 1980's there was an old 8" 1/2 X 11" black & white photo of three Hydrodyne 18's running side by side in the stacked (I think you call it) formation. The photo hung on the wall at OMC on Central Avenue, Waukegan IL. The picture had to be taken in the middle to late 1960's as all three were rigged with twin Johnson Golden Meteor Outboards. Either 90's or 100's depending on what the top self outboard was for that year. That was such a cool picture!!! Does anyone know the picture I am talking about or it's whereabouts? I have seen 18's rigged with Mercury straight 6's from the 60's and 70's but I haven't seen a photo of an 18 rigged with OMC Golden Meteor/Starflight outboards of that era. Does anyone have that photo or something of the like? I love them old twin rigs of the past!!!

    Those video's of the Guam team are very cool! But I was referring to the pre-thru hub exhaust outboards made by OMC. First generation twin rigs if you will.
