The 282 engine derived from the 257 in what, 1937?
My notes show the original
One Twenty had a 257-ci enigne, but increased to 282-ci in
1936. Parts books show common details between the two, including same pistons/bore, but different cranks. This suggests the two used same basic block, but engineers simply increased stroke to achieve greater displacement.
That aside, I'm a land-lubber, but perhaps the use of six-cylnder engines in the ChrisCraft might have been due to limitations of space and weight.
