Found this service manual for the little Evinrude Foldlight folding
outboard motor from 1930....

Look in the back at the parts list prices!......How times change from one
Depression to the next. Who could afford to go fishing with no job and no
future?

Damn! I knew Ed Dressel. He's listed as the dealer on Lake Marie in

You go to a bait store up there and half the pictures of all those
stringers full of crappies and those big bass were taken in the '50's
