Anyone remember these or actually have one?

I did!

One year my father found one new in its box left over from some previous
seasons and we used it on a dinghy.

It was just a 3 hp Evinrude, but it was painted a flatish brown instead
of Evinrude blue. Your basic outboard, with a horizontal lever throttle
and if you wanted reverse, you turned the motor around on its bracket.

Here's an old ad from a website:

I have a couple of 6 horses from about that time. I also have a mid
40's elgin twin 7 horse elgin that I ran till a few years back when
the water pump housing broke. And... I also have a british seagull in
mint condition, it is put away in an oily bag.
