    Peter Hunn’s The Old Outboard Book has about a full page on the history of the Fageol/Crofton/Homelite/Bearcat Outboards.  Yep, they all started with the Fageol 44 35hp, a Crosley engine mounted on end on a Scott-Atwater lower unit.  An inboard model was also produced.

    The Homelite version mounted the engine other-end-up, flywheel on top.  That reversed the engine rotation.  I guess I’ve forgotten how that was dealt with.
