Professionally restored single cylinder, hand crank outboard manufactured by Evinrude Motor Corp. New decals, on a custom stand. 41” x 20” x 22” This Evinrude outboard motor from 1909 with the number 394 is one of the earliest production models. Ole Evinrude’s first outboard motor, introduced in 1909, was revolutionary for its time as the first commercially successful gasoline-powered outboard motor. This motor is lightweight and portable. With a single-cylinder, 1.5-horsepower engine, it is designed for primarily small boats and is ideal for recreational use. This model marked the beginning of the modern outboard motor industry. Serial Number 394 — indicates that it is one of the earliest units manufactured during the first year of production. Production in 1909 was limited, therefore, a low serial number and the fact that it’s in excellent condition, makes this especially rare and valuable.
