Reply To: 1928 Evinrude Fastwin decals

IMHO, the light blue decal is definitely not correct.  The other one is closer, but the silver background behind “Evinrude” in all decals should be light grey with slightly darker gray stippling.  The serif on the “F” should go behind the V of Evinrude.  I can’t be sure, but I believe the color of “Evinrude” is not such a deep blue, more blue with grey, kind chalky.  On the side decals, the block behind the lightning bolts should have wavy lines.  Interestingly, the gold background decal with the S&O instructions is more like the original than the one that came with the other set with the silver background, but I can’t verify what it says to know whether it’s the correct one for the ’28 Fastwin.

That said, nice motor!  If you haven’t opened it up, consider doing so.  Check the pistons for cracks or chips and check the piston pin retaining hardware.  I think you already know about the water tube fittings.  Are you getting good cooling with that prop?  Trying to outrun Bill and Lincoln?
