...there were at least 50 different other outboard makers in the northern states back in the late 1800's, early 1900's. the first to mass produce them, by the thousands, was a fellow who's home was on the detroit river, and manufactured them in his detroit shop...until he sold the business in 1917. his name was Cameron Waterman. look it up. so many publications, for decades & still to this day, including wikepedia, credit ole evinrude with inventing the outboard. doesn't seem fair.

from what I gather, bess wrote most all the advertisements & was quite good at it, and was really the reason the company sold what they did, in the beginning, up until they both died in '33/'34. one account stated that it was the main reason she went from girlfriend to wife.
