The Homelite 55 HP 4 Cycle outboard motor was introduced in 1961. Based on the [[Fageol]] outboard motor developed by Lou Fageol which itself was a derivative of the 44 cu. in. Crosley automobile engine, the Homelite 55 HP motor was much more successful than these previous ventures and was produced up to 1972. In 1966, Textron, Inc. sold the production rights of the Homelite 55 HP outboard to Richard Fisher of [[Boston Whaler|Boston Whaler Boats]] in 1966. The company, Fisher-Pierce, sold the motors as the Bearcat 55 HP and even developed an 85 HP model, introduced in 1970. More information will be added as it becomes available, otherwise please visit the link below:
