Reply To: Looking for 1931 Evinrude Ad

[JOHN W. HAGERMAN]

Hi Tom, I have a double-page Evinrude/Elto ad dated 1931 that shows the Elto line-up on the left page and the Evinrude motors on the right.
The Sportwin model is not pictured. Motors are referred to by their model names; no model numbers are given. I think I am correct in saying the model 183 (Sportwin) from 1931 is 2.2 HP, and the model 409 (Sportwin) from 1932 is 4 HP. Sorry I have no better info for you; my oldest Evinrude sales literature is from 1932. Let me know if you’d like to see the 1931 ad. I can email it to you, just can’t figure out how to attach it here. John Hagerman, Western Reserve Chapter
