Re: 60hp engine
I remember as a kid the v8 60 was very popular in hydroplane racing. We have some old 8mm movies of them racing on Green Lake which is pretty much downtown Seattle. Can you imagine what the Seattle of today would think about the noise, smoke and Danger of a bunch of WW2 vets racing around in a circle in their beloved duck pond? Ain't gonna happen these days. And don't get me started on the Allison and RR boats on the big lake.
