I believe that wes hagues evinrude sign and the one that is pictured from ebay are 100% fakes.
if kieth siegel (57tbird) or mark elmore (gulfiend) are talking about fake signs and you are lucky enough to be within ears distance.....I would take notes and listen up. the years spent in the hobby, the amount of money you spend at auctions, or the number of signs you have on your wall is not a substitute for the passion and knowledge these guys give to the hobby.
Passion and Knowledge, now there's something every picker needs to wrap their heads around.
Not Wes's first time selling a fake or defending a fake sign.

While greedy pickers...risk their reputations by denying the oblivious...and still hoping/wanting to pass on the fake sign. Be open minded and listen to the knowledge being shared...then accept the truth and destroy or mark the sign. You can defend that fake sign all you like...it ain't going to change what the rest of us know.
