Re: merc engines
If I am not mistaken the Homelite engines are based on the crosley block. For you young duds the crosley was a little car about vw size produced right after the war. The mill if I remember right was a 4 banger with an overhead cam. pretty hot little powerplant. I had a 55hp
homelite motor on a 17 foot criscraft plywood kit boat. Lots of torque but no speed. I bought the motor in verona Pa just up the allegheny river from pittsburgh.
The boat fell apart and I gave the motor to my uncle who used it in Fla for a lot of years.
