Sometimes, you need to drive over to the marina.

And, if you wanted to cut a little wood, you might take a Capitol marine engine, and set it up as a stationary.

Thanks for posting the advertisements, they are great. I really wish I could have one of those high powered motors, but they are mighty rare.

Bill, Back then (1922) maybe could have bought one of these big pieces of thunder at the right price,transmission and all - three speed forward propeller speed ? As a kid growing up on the Miami River I remember many car engines with their transmissions in boats - never saw one of these !

That seems like an awful lot of machine work and cylinders for only 36 hp.

Yes, but at what speed - with a 5 in stroke the rating probably was at 1500 rpm :-}
Would have been a great marine engine, but only 3 main bearing for a V12 - hmmmm.
