Jim Hussey brought his freshly overhauled and painted 3 & 5 x 4” fore and aft compound engine over to KSW for a test run before returning it to his launch, the 27’ SL Seahorse.
The engine was designed by Robert Scripps, builder of our beloved Wilhelmina, and was cast in his foundry in Fredricksburg Texas.
The design includes D valves on the HP and LP, the reverse is handled by Stevenson Link. The crankshaft is built-up multi piece and the engine was machined and assembled from a set of castings and blueprints by an unknown machinist.
