4 cycle twin  4hp @ 1100RPM  Ser. #54655

This unusual Evinrude was made for just 2 years and was not actively promoted by the maker.  Speed is about the same as the lighter and cheaper one cylinder motor.  Oil still needed to be mixed with the gas.  I purchased this motor in restored condition from a New Jersey collector in 1992.  I ran it on a boat before purchasing it.  I felt it needed some additional attention and made the improvements in the summer of 2009.  I ran it at antique outboard meets in 2009, observing Evinrude's 100th anniversary.
