45hp mercury, what year is it?

[boatsalotjay]

I have a mercury motor serial number 1135875, and model number 55E. Could someone give me the year and positive hp on it? I think it's a 45hp but not sure. Thanks

If your info is right, it looks like 1956 model (Nearly as old as me.. )<br /> http://www.oldmercs.com/mark555655.html <br /><br />Looks like a real nice old motor...
