I have a Burgess F3 circuit catamaran, cannot seem to find much info on them,i believe they use a 850cc Short Shaft Yam or Evinrude, does any if know if any other engines have been used successfully as they are like hens teeth, i think having a 90 yam and lifting it 5 inches would affect the balance and Handling not sure.
This is to be my winter project this year so trying to get all the info together about these.

Hi Gazza,

your info is right. Tor was racing F3 back in the 80īs.
There was only Johnson or Evinrude used for F3. Cees Van der Velden was the guy supporting the series with parts and engines. Both models have been similar 850ccm blocks ca. 100-110 HP. The category died some few years ago.

You Guys are brilliant,
The hull is in surprising good condition for that age ( seems the same age as my old Campbell / Gordon Wright cat), all wood seems to be ok where i'm getting access, had the endoscope from work to check the areas i could not see at first everything looks fine,
There is just an area from getting in and out on the left hand side which needs a repair on the outside skin.
So what speed did these do in race trim?
