Forth picture in initial post shows a “short shaft” Javelin.

Ah – I totally missed seeing the Javelin lower to the right of the Evinrude in the 4th photo – definitely a short shaft!

Interesting… means that someone changed it during its history. Model number has the ‘L’ in it. Good catch guys.
It is not very unusual for this change to be made during a motor’s history. I have found that most of the long shaft motors I have had were converted short shaft motors. That includes a ’58 Super Seahorse that began life as a short shaft and now is a long shaft. These things seem to get swapped back and forth as different needs arose throughout the life of the motor.
