[Public-list] Atomic 4/Grey Marine

[Michael Connolly]

I know that 'Rascal" #145 and Lorrie Rose #133 both had Grey Marine engines.  I thought that I had heard that Whitby decided to switch from Grey to the Atomic 4 because of a savings of a small amount of money.  Perhaps Grey was having trouble supplying engines and Universal with the Atomic 4 could more easily fill the orders?  Do any of our Canadien friends know the story? How about Gord or Don?

181, also 1966, has an Atomic 4, which I assume, but not sure, is original. 
(Is that a record for the number of commas per word in a sentence?)
So, if there was a unique turnover time, and not just random engine 
installations, then we're converging on 1966.
