Fall Antique Outboard Motor Show At Webster Park Saturday

September 19, 2024 at 5:38 p.m.


NORTH WEBSTER – The Antique Outboard Motor Club will hold their fall Antique Motor Show and Swap Meet Saturday at North Webster’s Community Park (Dixie tour boat dock) on the west shore of Webster Lake.
Several hundred antique outboard motor restorers, historians, collectors and enthusiasts from across the Midwest and Canada will gather in the park for a day of activities related to the hobby. The public is invited. There is no admission charge. The events include an exhibition of their recent restoration projects, swapping of parts and literature, plus running these old-time boat motors on the lake.
Club members invite area owners of old outboard motors to attend the meet for a free evaluation of their old motors. Many motors are bought, sold and evaluated throughout the day. The swapping area includes all types of parts, literature, related accessories and many antique motors.
The national Antique Outboard Motor Club classifies an antique outboard motor as being manufactured before 1950 and a classic outboard motor over 30 years old.
The North Webster meet starts at about 10 a.m. and usually runs to mid-afternoon. Many participants stay late in the day if the weather is nice and they are able to run their antique motors on the lake.
For more information, contact local meet chairman Dave Tranter at 260-213-1945 or [email protected].
