AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A striking and highly collectible 1941 Evinrude Elto Pal (Model 4266) in a unique purple and lavender color scheme - a museum-quality piece that effortlessly bridges the worlds of vintage engineering, industrial design, and nautical art.

This beautifully restored example has spent the last 15 years as an exhibition piece and remains in near-mint condition. The vibrant paintwork, impeccable metal surfaces, and a custom golf ball tiller handle make it an instant focal point in any collection, gallery, showroom, or loft interior. Its mechanical integrity also means the engine remains fully seaworthy, offering the buyer both display appeal and functional authenticity. The motor comes complete with a wall mount, allowing the clasp to be fixed securely for vertical exhibition.

About the Elto Pal (for collectors and enthusiasts)

The Elto Pal was introduced in 1938 as part of the storied evolution of Ole Evinrude’s engineering legacy. Its lineage traces back to a pivotal chapter in outboard history: after selling his first company in 1913, Ole Evinrude formed ELTO—Evinrude Light Twin Outboard—a brand created during his contractual five-year non-compete. ELTO quickly became renowned for lightweight aluminum innovation, and by the late 1930s the Pal stood out as one of the lightest outboards ever produced, weighing just 14 lbs.

Within the Outboard Motors Corporation (OMC) family of brands, the Pal represented the nimble, efficient, accessible line—an engine beloved for its simplicity, charm, and portability. Surviving examples in this condition, particularly with unique custom finishes, are increasingly rare.
