The ownership of a motor boat, allows relaxation, enjoy- ment and health... crowning ultimates of good living. Check the sizes of engines used in stock cruisers. Check the speed in miles per hour with the engine and propeller revolutions. In Matthews cruisers the Sterling Petrel engine, with its greater piston displacement, turns a larger propeller at 1900 maximum revolutions, a safe engine speed. To equal the attained boat speed, any engine, comparative in price or rated power, must turn a smaller propeller about 15% faster. The added 15% is a straining effort, especially in an unbalanced engine. Mechanically, the Petrel possesses the advan- tage of a larger, heavier crankshaft, with 7 main bearings, counter weighted and dynamically balanced, a superior clutch and reverse gear-and other important features, more than offsetting the difference in price. If you are considering a Matthews boat, may we send the Petrel catalog and tell you why a Sterling is the better investment? 12 to 600 horsepower STERLING ENGINE COMPANY BUFFALO «© NEW YORK aa port Cruiser PEPITO celebrated Spanish clown, is the owner of @ Matthews crui equipped with « Sterling Petrel 180-200 H.P. engine.
