Re: [omc-boats] Model Clarification

Hey Lee,

My dad had the only Rogue built with a V-6. Was built for one of Evinrudes
nephews but he didn't like it. My dad was Plant Manager at the boat plant at
the time. We kept it in a slip in Waukegan Harbor from 1970 till 1985 when
both my brother and I got permanently laid off from Johnson Motors. It was
also the last boat ever built by OMC.
