Dearborn Marine Engines, Inc. offered the Interceptor line of marine engines. Buehler Turbocraft was one company that utilized the Interceptor engines in their boats. Ford Motor Company's Industrial Engines division provided the engine blocks used in Dearborn's marine engine builds. Eventually Dearborn Marine became a division of Eaton Manufacturing which offered the Eaton Powernaut Sterndrive.
In both 1957 and 1958, a 22' Century Raven mahoghany lapstrake boat with a stock Dearborn Interceptor 150 HP engine set new records for the Miami to Bimini, The Bahamas and the Key West to Havana single engine marathon races.
