</SMALL></SMALL>A pattern maker by trade, Ole Evinrude finished his first outboard motor in 1907 And even to this day, outboard motors are basically the same: using Ole’s idea of a vertical crankshaft, horizontal flywheels, and set of bevel gears. Today Evinrude motors will propel a boat a bit faster than the ’07 version (150 mph versus 5 mph).</TD><TD style="FONT-SIZE: x-small; FONT-FAMILY: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif" width=120>THE STORY
