Should be a 170. I think all the 144s have a C0 number. What kind of boat is this in? Any pictures?

Check out Hydro-Racer. Go onto Memberlist, look through the early page 5 of the 82 odd ones there, and click on to his website.

He is an old pilot who used to fly his Falcon 144 engine at 8400 rpm with three 42 Dellorto carbs. Yes, it was mounted backwards, just like an aircraft.

I assume his private parts were cast iron, too, like most longshoremen!
