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 Atwater|Scott-McCulloch]]; boats were supplied by manufacturers such as [[Cutter]], [[Whitehouse]], [[Glasspar]], and [[Arkansas traveler|Arkansas Traveler]]. Trailers were made by companies such as [[Seminole]] in Florida. From 1960 on, Elgin offered only a two HP model built by [[West Bend]], switching to a lineup primarily of outboards made by [[Scott Atwater|Scott]].  West Bend-made motors can be distinguished by a 571- serial number prefix; the Scott-made motors by a 574- prefix.

Elgin Boats, Trailers, Outboard Motors

Sears, Roebuck & Company

925 S. Homan Ave. Chicago, Illinois


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, Whitehouse, Glasspar, and Arkansas Traveler. Trailers were made by companies such as Seminole in Florida. From 1960 on, Elgin offered only a two HP model built by West Bend, switching to a lineup primarily of outboards made by Scott. 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 and boats and motors were marked as Sears. Sales and marketing was handled by the Sporting Goods division manager for Sears; in 1958 this was Charles Durden.
