I have a large boat related product coming my way from the left coast

other day or so to notify me of the item's progress across the
country.
It's on a pallet and it weighs about 1000 pounds.
Any guesses?

I guess everyone has learned from UPS: package tracking is great!
Hmmm... well, EZ Loader comes to mind, but that would be one
hellatiously large pallet.....
A jetski? Nah..... not your style.
Oh! A Bayli.... nah. Nevermind.
The infamous lobsterboat is the only thing capable of carrying such a
load.... so, assume it is an entity.
Hell, I dunno..... throw us a bone.....
It's mighty powerful for its size.
Bingo.
It arrives tomorrow, I've been informed. It's a naturally aspirated
(no turbo) 16kw marine diesel generator. But not for any boat I
currently own.
It's going into a classic Chesapeake Bay deadrise being built on the
Eastern Shore for a charter fishing operation. I'm sort of brokering the
genset, which I found "new" on a heavy equipment website.
