Theres not many of these left, but when EVINRUDE turned em out they were in teh neighborhood of 400-425HP. 8 yes 8 2 barrel carbs sucking back the go juice, and just about every performance mod that has ever been done to a 2 stroke back in the day.

A lot of the OMC Hi Po stuff was thouroughly tested on lake Hamilton by Second Effort. They can't last long running on the ragged edge.
That would push the V for sure. I'm thinking auxilary fuel tank Ferm.

A neighbor around the corner has one of those on an old Eliminator hull. Been sitting there for years.

If it's an actual F1 V8, it's worth ALOT of money. I seen one sell here awhile back in pieces for almost $10K to a guy in Australia.

What makes it an F1 Ferm?

The F1 was the factory race engines. They turned INSANE RPM's right out of the box, buit like Spare said they were a short lived engine. If it is origanal the easiest way to tell is the 8 2 barrel carbs hanging off the front of the engine. All of the fishing engines, and even most of the performance engines only had the 8 one barrel plastic carbs. The F1 engines had 8 of the same carbs that came on a 115, except a 115 used 2 of em and the F1 V8 used 8.
