By Staff Report-
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 their hobby, according to a press release from the club.
The events include an exhibition of recent restoration projects, serious swapping of parts and literature, plus running the old-time boat motors on the lake. The public is invited to attend.
Club members invite area owners of old outboard motors to attend the meet for an evaluation of their motors. Many antique 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, with over 5,000 members, classifies an antique outboard motor as being manufactured prior to 1950 and a classic outboard motor over 30 years old (prior to 1986), the release states.
The North Webster meet starts at approximately 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.
