See if you can find any old Montgomery Wards catalogs archived anywhere. Sea King was their house brand (like Sears' 'Gamefisher' boats), though I don't know who manufactured them. Like many Sears products, MW might have had more than one supplier.

If your Ted Williams (marketed by Sears) outboard is of the same vintage, I think it was made by either Eska (if air cooled), or Scott Atwater if water cooled. I'm working strictly from a sometimes faulty memory, so don't take that as gospel.

Good luck- hope you find the answers.

Starcraft was manufacturer of Sea King aluminum boats, and OMC made the Sea King outboards for Montgomery Ward.

There are plenty of brochures for Starcraft, link in my signature. Not sure if you are looking for the Sea King logo stuff or just the structure of the boat.

The OP's outboard is a 'Ted Williams' (it's in another thread he posted concerning the Sea King boat). That was Sears' house brand.
