Palmer marinized IHC truck 6 cylinder engines that had been layed down almost horizontal. At a quick look if they were close together they would look like an opposed 6. Pic of one below. This engine is now part of the heritage Engine Collection in Compton, MD It was a gift of Kenneth R. Moe of cambridge, MA   richardday Senior Member Username: richardday Post Number: 468 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Monday, October 17, 2005 - 10:04 pm:        Thanks to Ernie we now have one of the most popular engines that Palmer marketed for some years. Looking forward to firing it up prior to putting it away for the winter. Thanks to Ernie and Bob Long for the multiple moves and repairs and thanks to Ken Moe for the donation. It will have a safe home.   larry_from_maryland Senior Member Username: larry_from_maryland Post Number: 272 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 12:10 pm:        I only have a small sale ad in a newspaper.You guys know the engines better than they do.NJ is correct.It allso lists a wooden bay bar skiff.   andrew Moderator Username: andrew Post Number: 1221 Registered: 11-2001 Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2005 - 06:53 pm:        Larry, I don't know anything about the condition of the skiff, but the showed a couple of poor pictures on the auction site:
