Need to identify a Chrysler 55HP outboard. Model # is 559HIN S/N is 1476 if that matters. Are parts still available for this motor? Thanks for your trouble.

Thanks Alcan,<br /><br />That surprises me. I have only worked on small HP Chryslers that were white in color. I was unfamiliar with black colored Chrysler engines. I had figured it must have been 10 years older than that. Trying to find a low dollar motor for my uncle. It runs and is is sitting on a nasty 15' tri-hull with a decent trailer for 200 bucks. Might warrant a further look.

Kind of tough to get a good set of oars for $200.
