If you collect mid-century boating nostalgia, this one hits fast: a 1961 Evinrude outboard brochure packed with glossy color photography, model highlights, and that unmistakable “lake weekend” optimism.
It’s an easy flip-through time capsule—showing engines like Starflite, Lark, and Sportwin alongside period boats, styling, and sales copy. Bonus: this copy includes loose paper inserts (price lists) that add real dealer-floor personality.
Photo-verified and ready to display, frame, or file with your marine memorabilia.
