I have just acquired a 1939 Larson Falls Flyer with what is reputed to be its original Evinrude SpeediFour, Model 7031 S/N 01058. It still has all its original decals and ID plate. We can find no hurts; it rolls over smoothly. We will try starting/ru8nning it next week.
My question: the boat is a double cockpit that arrived with a modern 35HP Johnson Super Sea Horse hanging off the transom to which is connected all the electric-start wiring and a front cockpit steering wheel and throttle/gear control box. I am removing all of these items, but wonder if these early Evinrudes were ever equipped with gear that allowed them to be controlled and steered from a forward cockpit.
