    Tubs, Thanks for the pics.  I’ll consider using all or part of those decals when the time comes.  Your  side decal looks correct to me for that model. The tank is done except for the buffing, or was this tank painted originally ?

    Buccaneer, thanks for your ad which I haven’t seen before. Your advert is 1937.  You can verify that with the Evinrude guide book which shows that those 3 Evinrude-built models, especially the 8806, were only available as a group in 1937.  The Wards model numbers , such as 8806, are shown in Wards ads on the line showing the price for ordering.

    For ad ID, these are some of Wards model numbers, found in their ads, of Evinrude-built motors:

    1935– 8394, 8800, 8801, 8802, 9186

    1936————————-8802, 8803

    1937—————————————-8806, 8807, 8808

    1938——–8763, 8764,————————-8807, 8808
