"I am considering undertaking

"I am considering undertaking a restoration on a 1935 Greavette, and am trying to sort out the differences in available engines. Two different engines were installed in these - a Gray 6-125 and a Gray Phantom 6-124. Can anyone explain the difference between these two engines? How common or uncommon are they? I have been offered a Gray Phantom Model 225, ser. #14859. I do not know what this is, or if it even period-correect. It is a 6 cyl. Can anyone fill me in on that?

Lastly, the specific boat I am considering originally came with TWIN Gray Light 6-103's - crammed into a 23' triple runabout. How common or uncommon are these engines, and for Gray's in general, how difficult are parts? I have two other antique boats, powered by a Chris Craft and a Chrysler respectively, and parts are not hard to find. Any clarity on this will be helpful - I don't want to get into an expensive restoration of an expensive boat and not be able to find at least period-correct, if not original, power."
