I know there’s like 6 different 1958 Elgin 35hp model numbers. I’m wondering what are the specific model numbers are for the Skipper? I’m sure there’s a long and a short shaft. Some are the Standard models, some have starters, generators, alternators. What are the numbers specific to the Skipper?? Thanks!
I’d guess the "L" means long shaft.
Looking at the individual pages: The first two are recoil start, the rest are reported as electric start.
(all of them have "power steering"!!).
Another source confirms the long shaft, and
says 82 & 83 have electric start and 6 amp generator
and 90/91 have electric start and 20 amp generator
