Re: What year is my Chry 55 hp

probably mid to late 60s. My 67 or 69--I forget which year exactly is model 5551 serial 1087. the first two 5s indicate HP. the third 5 indicates long shaft (20 inch) and I believe the 1 indicates magneto ignition, electric start.--or maybe another 5 indicates that I forget if I had put on a new lower shroud--been a long time.

Your motor is from 1968. 68 and 69 were the only years for 4 digits. 67 had 5 hence a 55732
