Elgin boats, trailers, and outboards were sold by Sears, Roebuck and Co. but were built by a variety of manufacturers. The line of outboard motors were built by West Bend and later by Scott-McCulloch; boats were supplied by manufacturers such as Cutter and Arkansas Traveler. In 1959, Elgin ceased offering outboard motors built by West Bend and only sold outboards made by Scott. The 1959 West Bend-made motors can be distinguished by a 571- serial number prefix; the Scott-made motors by a 574- prefix. In later years, the Elgin brand was dropped entirely. Boats and motors were marked as Sears.
