Unsure of year and model of old Evinrude Fastwin 18 HP

[jhiggers]

Unfortunately I am unable to fine a year or model for this old Evinrude Fastwin 18HP motor. The plate with the info on the mounting bracket is missing and looks like it has been for a long time. I got this motor for free and would also like to know a possible value working or not. any help would be great.

Could be anywhere between 1957 and 1958. If you can find numbers I can pin it down.
Since it is an 18hp it will fall between those two years.
The engine will need to be run on NO LESS than a 24/1 fuel/oil mix or premature failure will occur.

Somewhere on the side of the motor will be a nickle sized
plug with the model and serial stamped in it.
The first four numbers are the model number.
Post them and someone will give you the year.

LOL we seem to be having trouble in the Model number department.
