      Hello,
      I don’t have my Old OB book handy. Can anyone tell me what year an Elto light twin with SN 24063 would have been built. Thanks

        maybe 1925 or 1926
        there is a blind spot in the number range between 21000 and 30000 in my book
        others ?????

          That five digit number places it in the 1914 Evinrude lineup but if it had a 1 in front of it, it would be an early 1924 model. The first Elto didn’t appear until around 1921 so maybe it’s a ’24? A model 406 would be a ’31 Lightwin.

              I think he neglected to give the complete
              serial number. If its a Rudder Twin there
              should have been a letter stamped along
              with the number. If that is in fact the case
              with that letter we could given him a better answer.

              A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

                yes , a Ruddertwin, that’s what I thought also
                so there is my answer based on

                  Yes this is a light twin AKA ruddertwin. It is C24063. My serial number listing does not show anything between 20000 and 30000, but I now know that it was sold new on July 3, 1925.

                      My guess it is simply a typo.
                      I suspect it should be 20001 – 2
                      9999
                      Hard to say when it occurred as it is
                      reflected in several listings.
