Old Evinrude

[Sweep800]

Found this old outboard boat motor in a garage of a remodel job. So took a stab at restoring it.

This is how it turned out

I believe it’s a 1949 Evinrude Sportsman
1.5 hp
Not sure if it runs or not, might/ might not. I just wanted it for a decoration piece up at the lake on the tiki hut I’m gonna build lakeside someday! lol

Very nice! Will make a nice showpiece for the tiki hut (unless you end up using it for fishing).

Thanks, it was kinda of a therapeutic type thing, just took my sweet time!
Working on a smaller epoxy table now. First attempt at this too! Lol !

Speaking of therapeutic…
I heard those old evinrudes make great whirlpool motors to circulate the water around, just watch where you put your feet
Haha

Made this for my oldest son, the tree slices are from a Maple tree they grew up with throughout their childhood. Definitely not perfect but turned out pretty good.
