7tcu is correct. Thats a 1949. I saw that motor laying in that trailer at Tomahawk with a NFS tag on it. The serial # puts it in the 1949 range as does the gearfoot and transom clamp handles. Its missing the spark plug covers but they’re easy to find. The tiller handle is also from a pre war Evinrude. The correct one is black bakelite. No matter though. They work the same plus the earlier one won’t chip or break. Speeditwins are awesome motors. When tuned right they go like hell. They also have a unique feel and sound. I have a 1949 serial # 23826. Close to yours. Its one of my favorite motors to run. Good luck with her.
