Antique Outboard Motor Show May 17

May 2, 2025 at 7:07 p.m.


NORTH WEBSTER - The Antique Outboard Motor Club will hold their 2025 Spring Antique Outboard Motor Show and Swap Meet on May 17 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 their hobby. 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 and encouraged to attend. There is no admission fee.
Club members invite area owners of old outboard motors to attend the show 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 Antique Outboard Motor Club, with over 5,000 national members, classifies an antique motor as being manufactured prior to 1950 and a classic outboard over 30 years old.
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.
