−	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]]. 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. 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.
