Agree probably the most beautiful engine they ever built......welllll their first FAT 50 was pretty sharp too. Neighbor had one when I was a kid hanging off a Penn Yan or similar type lapstrake hull. Very pretty setup.

My dad owned an Evinrude 33 hp lark motor ... it looked great ... but not as good as the one showed here.

I remember gazing at those when they were new. The dreams of a young boy. Probably runs as good now as then.

Here's the '56 Javelin I restored last year. I have a '57 Javelin I'm working on in the garage right now.
