Reminds me of the Mercury straight 6 back in the days. It was a formidable engine during the 60 mph marathon races. I believe Goodhue had a Hydrodyne with 2 of them attached! 'It takes Two to do it'. The 'Green Wink' also had two.

The Merc 6 was advertised as 130 hp, but rumored to run at 140 hp at the prop.

On the market place not to long ago was an Allision and a Magnum Missile, both with the Merc 6. What memories!
