That's some engine!
I've heard about them, of course, but this is the first time I've seen a photo of one. JW, I'm glad one of you stood beside the engine in one photo. I really didn't grasp how massive those engines were until there was a human standing next to it.
I know that back in the 50's and into the 60's these engines were real popular among the Hydro-plane crowd on Lake Washington in Seattle.
