Wow! Is that original?

I think it's about the same year as the hull (1976) and motor (1975) but not positive... it's certainly around the same era, and I just love the look of it. I don't want anything modern-looking on the boat, so I looked far and wide for this... even managed to find a new sticker for the Evinrude Simplex logo - the original silkscreened aluminum plate is behind it, but was quite worn.
I plan to strip and repaint the whole unit - silver/gray for the body of the control and the sticks, and a repainted red throttle handle to match the other red highlights (bimini, trailer, keychain!).
Also, the seat cushions are temporary until I get the upholstered cushions (white with red beading).
