Evinrude / Brooks Stevens, Helibout. - Page 23

This boat was a one of a kind, made by Evinrude as a boating equivalent to GM's Motorama. Each year, industrial designer Brooks Stevens, was allowed free reign to design something unique. I once had the honor of helping the currant owner install the main Rotor blades at a boat show in Wisconsin, they are electrically operated and spin at a very docile RPM. This boat is for sale, although very expensive, I feel the price is negotiable. The upper image is a period brochure, the lower right a period publicity photo. Lower left; the boat as it appears today, in excellent condition, it is presently in a local Museum.
