The model “R” Fastwin was only built in 1927. It was replaced in the 1928 Evinrude line-up by the bigger and far better 6 HP Fleetwin. With it being a one-year motor, it’s more difficult to find parts for it. I wish I could say that it uses the same lower unit as the smaller Sportwin, but since I know the water pumps are slightly different, that probably isn’t true.
I guess the approach I’d suggest for you is to figure out if there’s enough of it there for you to at least make it into a runner. From what I can see, its got a carburetor but I can’t tell if its broken or not. If it is, you can use a Tillotson MS-45A carb from a Muncie or Neptune in its place. (stock carb is a Tillotson MS-4A). Your tiller arm is bent up, but that shouldn’t stop it from running, and the parts that are bent can be removed and straightened.. Ditto for the exhaust, the one thats on it will at least let it run.
Doug Penn or his son Matt Penn are the guys to look up and see if they have parts for your motor.
I have a model R and it runs pretty well, so its worth putting some effort into.
