Yes, what Dave said …Good motor and looks like a nice rig. I have a 1961 Unicharger 75 HP Evinrude that has mechanical gear shift. This was a unique ( and good) one year arrangement. These motors are very reliable. Good that yours has the mechanical shift. Mine has fixed high speed carb jets, no adjusting except for idle, yours might be also. Yours has magneto ignition, spark independent of battery. My model has a conventual 12 volt ( automotive style) ignition, requires a charged battery, hence the 20 amp alternator. The motor runs good and strong, pushes my 1957 17ft Thompson Sea Lancer to 34 MPH. I think that your boat is essentially the same.
Nice boat , go for it
