That looks like the 50-hp Big Four that Evinrude came out with right
after WW II. It's ancestor saw service in the war on the back end of
small troop assault boat.s

I'm going on a childhood memory, but this motor wasn't a 50 hp. Hell, that would have sunk the
boat. ;-) Twenty-something was the number I recall, and it definitely had a tiller. I also can't remember
the number of cylinders. It was probably just two, but it was a very loud two. Do you have any idea when
they started putting cowlings on motors? I had thought it was pre-forties.
