** Evinrude Outboards 1968 - The Entire Catalog! **
This is a particularly nice catalog; it's large with a lot of very cool photos.
1968 was also a transitional design era for OMC - the engine lineup was in the process of taking on the more square-styled, modern look as they prepared to enter the 1970s. We also see the first appearance of the three-cylinder, loop-charged 55-horsepower Triumph, which featured a completely new design from top to bottom, and thru-hub exhaust. The Triumph would go on to mature into the ubiquitous and reliable 70-horsepower looper, and its basic design remained unchanged for decades.

Same here... "I Bleed Black", but when I was a kid, I sent away for catalogs from all the motor mfgr's, it didn't matter - as long as I could put it on my fishing skiff and put premix in it, I drooled over it. I dog-eared all the brochures and slept with 'em under my pillow, not even kidding about that. I could probably quote all the captions on all the pictures.
Speaking of captions and pics, I love the random swimsuit shots of the girls with the nice racks, along with the captions about "girl watching".
I liked them when I was 10 years old, too.
Ahhh, I miss the good old days. Keep 'em comin'!Barry
