Is interesting the two new Cat marine diesels, priced at something like $750,000-total were acquired via the 2010-Cash for Clunkers government program where you turn in your old industrial engine and get a much more efficient replacement engine at a bargain basement, reduced cost to you.
President Obama personally removed the old and installed these new Cat diesels ....... ho-ho-ho ..... he did a great job for the Mount! So's the US tax payer actually foot the bill for maybe 90% of the $750,000 Caterpillar-two marine diesels, which are still in use, and will continue to move the Mount for years and years.
The new engines have a constant, efficient buzz type of sound while the old engines sounded like a WW-II movie ..... like a whoosh-whoosh-whoosh .....
Unlike The Dive barge, everybody just loves the beautiful iconic Mount Washington that's been on the lake since August, 1940 ...... why is that!
