I thought many here would enjoy these photos, being both boat nuts and gear heads.

Being a old tool and die maker I love the pictures! Machines and machine tools made in the USA, in addition to the largest engine I have ever seen. Please send these pictures to washington to show the administration what goob jobs are!

I figured you guys would like these. I myself was blown away by the size and scope of the shop, the tools, the parts, and the factory.
