I have these… including one with a Lockwood shipping crate (although the box numbers don’t match the motor)

Haven’t boat tested the electric-start model 163 yet….. must get around to that one of these days…

PM T2,
Did you pick the crate at Tomahawk in 2004?
I think I saw it in your truck. Also I never forgot you
gave me a ride with your Chief.

Bill Loveland is right, the first picture in Garry’s post is a model 161 Silent Ace.

Garry’s second picture is me running the crated Chief at Tomahawk, I was using an 11-foot Aerocraft boat, and that sucker would dance.

Billy H – You’re right, I had that crate in my truck in 2004, but I bought the crate and motor prior to the Tomahawk trip. I bought it in March or April of that year. She’s a very low hour original condition motor with unbelievable compression. Glad you enjoyed the ride.

Best,

Looking closely at the muffler, I believe you might be right Bill . . .

The motor rest supports on the exhaust manifolds are much more pronounced on the Chief than they are on the Ace. The Ace just had little stubby protrusions on the back-end of the exhaust manifolds, the Chief had very large and obvious stanchions sticking out to rest the motor on when on its back.

The other giveaway is that the service Chief gas tank always had the filler cap in the centre of the tank. The 1930 Ace’s that used the Evinrude Fleetwin tank (and the one in Garry’s picture does) had the filler on the port side rear corner.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Of additional interest,I was informed by Chris Scratch that Lockwood offered a kit that would convert an early model Chief to a Silent Chief.Whether that was the case with mine or not,it has been "improved."
