It is YOUR motor for YOU to enjoy. I know it will be beautiful. You are not alone. I see many custom finished motors at our meets. I will be the first to admit, the outboards scheduled to be shown at a major Sporting Goods Show like New York and Chicago got special attention. If they spent that much attention on every outboard the prices would have to be much higher. Sometimes a serious collector will get taken in by a fancy finish. I recall telling one serous collector that the displayed Elto was an Evinrude because that model Elto would have a battery ignition and that one obviously had a magneto. Sure, he answered, but you are the only one here today that knows that. Even today An Evinrude Lightfour Imperial belonging to a highly respected collector is being auctioned off as an Elto. Wrong color and wrong decal !
