1968 Fiberform 16 foot with Homelite 55

[weisguymcfly]

anyone - got this yesterday and she’s in pristine condition. Literally took it to the lake and she ran like a dream. I can’t find a single boat model name online that looks like this one. Anyone familiar with 1968 models that also have the unique branded 69 Homelite 55? I’m in Coeur d’Alene and this boat was bought in Spokane and brought to Bonner county on May 4th, 1968. Have all the original registration paperwork.

Very nice find.-----Perhaps install a new water pump impeller.------These were the first generation of 4 strokes when 2 stroke was the popular thing.-----How times change.-----Use ---google ---to find parts for that machine.

Absolutely an incredible find and to hear that it fired right up and all the nice pictures to validate your comments. Back in the 1965-68 time line a friend of mine bought one on a 15' fiberglass boat. Went fishing with him one time and he let me drive it.....super fine engine. I think I recall that's a Crosley 4 cyl 4 stroker....Crosley, the mini-car brand....had a friend with one, the little station wagon model of them too. Helped him deliver papers with it one day. Way ahead of it's time (opinion).
