The largest "modern" outboard Evinrude made for some years during the
1950s was the 25-hp BigTwin. My dad, an Evinrude dealer, had a couple of
50 hp monsters left over from the late 1940s, or maybe very early 1950s.

Memory lane. I had an Elgin 7 1/2 on an old 13' rowboat, but what's
interesting, I found an old 1920s era Evinrude. 22 hp, I believe. It was
a monster, and as kids are, I got it running and put it on that same
rowboat. Fortunately, it blew up before I killed myself. Fortunate then,
unfortunate now, as I'd love to have that old engine.
