This is a “Hot-rodded” Speeditwin, with the steering handle cut off and a steering bar added for steering by a steering wheel. The exhaust tube has been drilled with relief holes, there is 1949-50 lower unit with a cutoff skeg and a Vacturi AO-500 racing carburetor has been substituted for the stock Evinrude carb. It might have had some internal work done on it. It doesn’t look to be a serious racing motor. If not damaged internally, it could be a running motor. There is no propeller shown and it would need one. I don’t see a fuel line, and I’m not sure that the rod in the bottom of the tub is the drive shaft. Overall, as a hotrod of unknown internal condition, it isn’t worth more than an average Speeditwin of that age. In my area, it would be worth no more than $200.
