GRAYMARINE ENGINE COMPANY a U.S. manufacturer of marine engines between 1910 and 1967. These ranged from one to six cylinders in both gas and later diesel layouts, which were used in pleasure boats, work boats, and military craft. Gray was based in Detroit, MI. Many fishing boats, lobster boats, tugs and pleasure craft used Gray engines. These boats usually fell between 12 and 32 feet. Many of their engines were marinized automotive engines from the major automobile manufacturers. Gray also produced a line of outboard motors. Rather than a ninety-degree gearbox, a curved housing connected motor to propeller. The lower-unit housing contained a flexible inner rotating shaft. The marine engine division continued operations for over forty years, and is most known for converting automotive engines for fishing boats, cruisers and WWII landing craft, such as the Canadian Ramped cargo lighter and the famed Higgins boats AKA "landing craft". On June 14, 1944, the company was purchased by Continental Motors Company where Gray continued to make marine engines in the post-war period until its closure by Continental in about 1967.
