Jersey).....

I'm pretty sure this was Brian Kemp's Greenbrier. I got a similar card a few 
years back...

 The January 2012  issue of Hot Rod Deluxe pictured a Corvair powered
outboard, no shrouding, on the transom of a flat bottomed hull., in a recap
of a column in the Nov '64 HRM, pg. 100. ""Rooster Tales?.  The caption is,
"Would You Believe a Corvair Outboard? Bob Laughton adapted Chevy's Flat-six
to his boat, and it really worked!"

I have not acquired a copy of the magazine yet so I'm unsure what other
detail is available. My superficial research found nothing more on this
Corvair powered outboard. Does anyone know more about this Corvair powered
outboard?

    Since I have identified a Wayne Hornung dba Inland Marine  ?Wayne 100?.
a Corvair powered hull that I hope to acquire, I have developed an interest
in marine uses of the Corvair engine, Hornung also created the Wayne 12 port
head that makes Jimmy and Chevy inline sixes run like ?stink?.  I know that
Corvair engine had been utilized in some racing hulls (inboard) as well.
Cooling was an issue and there seem to be some novel solutions to it by a
racer and Hornung.

The last time, I was in French Lewis' back yard in Englishtown, NJ, he had a 
Corvair powered boat- may have possibly been a Wayne. Doubly funny since one of 
his son's is named Wayne!! French built my race motor and had a wide variety of 
Corvair powered vehicles in his back yard and garage. An amazing man!!
