In my FB feed this morning, an ad on BoatTrader for a 50 Hatteras convertible built in the 80s.
In the engine room photos, the DDs are labeled "Thing 1" and "Thing 2". (to be sure, they are Detroits and not Caterpillars, but you get the idea)

I remember reading about several OBX charter operators who wish Series 60s were still made. Evidently they were very popular for charter operations.

In trucks we called them the "million mile engine" because overhauls were generally around that number of miles.
