Fall Antique Outboard Motor Show In Webster Park Saturday
Posted
Staff Report-
NORTH WEBSTER – The Antique Outboard Motor Club will hold its 2013 Fall Antique Outboard Motor Show and Swap Meet Saturday. The show will be held at North Webster’s Community Park (the 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 public is invited and encouraged to attend. Club members invite area owners of old outboard motors to attend the meet for a free evaluation of their old motors. Many old 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 3,000 members, classifies an antique outboard motor as being manufactured before 1950 and a classic outboard motor as being more than 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.
