Neat picture ..... I agree with JFL , it sure looks like the engine shop at 20 Wisconsin Street, Oshkosh. If so, my office was on the other side of the gearcase/powerhead racks pictured on the left. They are building the Twister II, so it must have been taken in 1973. Can't believe I don't recognize the guy in the forefront, but I can't come up with a name. :( I have no way of knowing for sure, but the two dudes in the rear of the photo are probably Rick LaMore & Bob Geary.

Too small for LaMore in the background....maybe "Slick"?

Thank you for posting the information guys - that makes these images 100% better.
I assumed this was Lake X because of the windows on the building and that this collection of images is comprised of many, many Lake X photos. Definitely could be in error though and I appreciate any corrections.

I will be posting this collection very soon. I already posted much of it in the gallery some years back, however I am going through them again in the catalog to post again.
