what’s a waccasaw engine

someone wants to sell me a 1974 skitique with a 302 waccasaw engine.
what the hell is that ?
i'm not sure i want a boat with an engine that i can't even pronounce much less spell.the boat is really rough,trailer sucks.but that engine sounds good going down the lake and always has.this guy is the original owner,bought it new in 74.got drunk and hooked the battery cables up assbackwords and fried the wireing harness other than that i can pick it up REAL cheap.
i always liked the little tiques,and all it's parts are in tact,just needs lots of cosmetic work.
but i'm not familiar with a waccasaw.am i asking for trouble ?

Waukesha is the same as PCM, PCM bought the company back in the 70's. I have a Waukesha in my 74 skier. If I could ever fiqure out how to add my link to my signature you could see it. It is in the diaries 70-74 about 4 or 5 down.
