Thanks to everyone who has commented and especially for encouraging me to hang onto the 1956 Evinrude Lark 30 hp.  A photo of the boat with the motor is attached.  I will search for a local service pro who knows this motor as a step toward evaluating its speed/ synchronization/ etc.

Look into a new Tohatsu 30 hp 4 stroke. Tilt and trim included. 127 lbs and will cut your fuel use at minimum in half. You can’t hear it run! Way better for the environment too.
