Default Can anyone ID this?

Hi folks,

Here is a little Chris Craft model my brother picked up in an antique store near Ottawa.

The boat doesn't mystify me/us, but the engine is a new one. It appears to be nearly all brass.. never seen that before, but I am an airplane geek not a boat type. You may be able to see the soldering between the cylinder and crankcase and elsewhere.

The prop and rudder appear home-made, very neat, either that or commercial bits looked like that.

I'll leave y'all with that, and hope someone knows something about this!

Thanks,

MJD
