The Fageol 44 was uprated to 40 hp by redesigning the pistons and cylinders to develop greater compression (11:1 ratio). The electric-starting system was 6-volt and Jabsco supplied the water pump for the outboard motor unit (see 1958 article below).

−	Prior to the VIP, Fageol offered the FM225 and FM200 marine engines. Known from a 1947 magazine ad and a 1950 brochure, these engines were advertised "for vertical or horizontal operation" in that the engine could be mounted either upright or on one side for a lower profile. Both six-cylinder engines, the FM225 was rated for 225HP at 3400 RPM; the FM200 for 200HP at 3200 RPM.	+	Prior to the VIP, Fageol offered the FM225 and FM200 gasoline marine engines. Known from a 1947 magazine ad and a 1950 brochure, these engines were advertised "for vertical or horizontal operation" in that the engine could be mounted either upright or on one side for a lower profile. Both six-cylinder engines, the FM225 was rated for 225HP at 3400 RPM; the FM200 for 200HP at 3200 RPM. These engines were essentially conversions of the Twin Coach bus engines.
