I tried to get my step-father to have a BMW Marine engine installed in his Hankins (Lavallette, NJ) but noooooo, got a Chrysler Slant Six instead.

Cool boat
And then there are the beautiful speed boats? BMW built to compete with the ones the Italians were producing.

Bill in Stockton, I guess your step-father's choice falls under the category of: The Sins of Our Fathers. In the sub-category of "Really Bad Automotive Choices."

I could fill the screen with some of my father's rarer choices. Everything from a first year Mustang, to suicide door Lincoln Continental to a Mercury Comet and on.

And he owned a 3.0s at the time, knew about BMW 6 cylinder smoothness. Alas, the Hankins was not a performance-oriented boat, it really was more suited to a Detroit mass-production engine.

But what a kicker it would have been, stuffing one of those babies into the white bread Hankins. A real sleeper.

Here's a nice little speed boat with an M10 in it
