What about the Scripps Jr. Gold Cup? Available 1927 or was it later?

Chrysler EM #s 1000-1314 were produced from 7/27-11/27 100hp at 2800 rpm. Chrysler LM #s 1204-4781 were produced from 1/28-7/35 106hp at 2800 rpm. I know where a rebuildable Kermath 100 is if you send me a PM I will give you the detail.

The 1927 Cadet I restored "Chief Waramaug" came with its original Scripps Jr. Gold Cup engine at 127 Hp. We had it rebuilt by George Shinn. It runs perfect. There is a very nice article about it in the latest Classic Boating issue # 183 written by the owner I restored it for. The boat is now owned by collector Jack Beatley. I have a Chrysler JM that may have come in a Cadet at 83 Hp. PM me if interested.
