This book
is the one to buy if you are interested in collecting antique
outboard motors.
Boating
The
only complete guide to finding and identifying vintage outboard
engines
Antique outboard
motors have a mystique much like vintage cars, and they're much
more affordable. Plus, once restored, they can be put to good
use again, providing power for putt-putting around, fishing, waterskiing,
or even racing.
The Old Outboard
Book tells the story of the outboard motor, from the earliest
days near the end of the nineteenth century through the dawn of
the modern outboard era in the 1960s. Virtually every outboard
motor ever built is here: Caille, Champion, Evinrude, Flambeau,
Johnson, Martin, Mercury, Scott-Atwater, Waterwitch--the Big List
chapter covers them all. The book also includes comprehensive
oil-mix and spark plug charts for most old outboards.
The third
edition of Peter Hunns classic continues the story of the outboard
motor, extending the coverage of U.S. and Canadian motors up to
the mid-1970s and adding motors from Australia and Great Britain.
In addition, the pricing and rarity guide and the complete model-year
list have been updated.
If youre
a buff of old outboard motors, you need this book.
