Inboard engine, Thrall Motor Co. This Thrall engine is a typical example of the ones that had an external water jacket made of copper rather than cast iron.

They are quite rare today. They made motors from 3 to 12 HP, in one and two cylinders. Their small 3 HP model was advertised to weigh less than 60 pounds.
