Mr. Bruce---Wow! You guys are good!
I think the flathead/ohc engine's in the orange sistership of the Yellow Crackerbox in my Photo Gallery---between the two mahogany monsters. In other words it's not in this picture. You'd be interested in Jeff Magnussen's replica Gar Wood (nearest boat)--it's got two counter-rotating Rolls Gremlins (de-supercharged Merlins) with v-drives running through TANK transmissions. The engines have fake "Packard" logos..Is it FAST? Does the Pope ____ in the...wait a minute...Is the Pope a Bear?...wait a
The other wood job (at the dock) has a singleton RR Gremlin.
The little fiberglass Yellow Bowel-melter had the 406. Do NOT try this at home. The boat w/o moptor weighed a little less than 375 lbs. Note the reversed intake horns to look like a flathead nonetheless. ...Also, this little puppy had: 450 hp, direct drive, a 12" x 26" "oversquare" prop...and two certified psychos aboard. When they launched, both gents leaned WAY to the right--to offset torque. If the driver didn't preset some "counter-rudder"--the little pipe-bomb would WALK sideways!!!!
Yabut, a Cobra's got more applications----so I'm gittin' me one....
