Questions : Help Early 60's Evinrude-Duracraft restoration correct Paint and Decals

[Duracraft14]

S/N 18402D-E09992 Evinrude Fastwin - 1964
S/N 40568 Duracraft 14' closed bow aluminum V - 1962


I'm beginning restoration on the above main components and am looking for correct paint and decals/emblems (also for my Simplex control) - to match. I can't find good examples of the original boat or the Simplex details. Any ideas where I can look for #1 Boat pictures and #2 Simplex pictures? Also where I can order the correct paint and good decals?

Thanks Forum

i just sold the same vintage duracraft. go to ebay search evinrude controls, you will run across a simplex control, to see. it is one heck of a boat, loved rough water, mine was rated for a 50 hp. great little ski boat. i had 3 different motors on it. 57 35hp was ok, 93 40hp better, and an 88 50hp was fantastic.

Thanks for the great info and inspiration! I guess they must not have made a lot of the 60's models because I have been looking for a while now trying to find Duracraft literature or cataloges showing pictures with options and colors .. to no avail.

All the best -
