That engine probably dated from the late 40's...maybe.


Can't say. They bought the house in 1955, and by that time it looked quite used. I was looking to see if I
could find a picture online, but couldn't. It did look similar to this, IIRC, but it had a tiller not the high tech
steering on this motor.

I believe that is a Evinrude Big Four and it's beautifully restored.
They were 60 horse if I remember right. The neat thing about those is
that you could throw it in reverse by adjusting the timing.
