The Old Outboard Book Paperback – June 6, 2002

My husband restores antique boat motors as a hobby. I got him this book as a gift. He said it was very helpful and he enjoyed reading it.

Item as described with quick shipping,

This is the definitive book on old outboard motors. Much has been written on individual motors, or brands, but none other, isall encompassing. Thumbnail outlines and brief history of all major and minor brands of antique outboard motors. Price guide is outdatedbut still the only general source, available.

It is a very interesting history of an obscure subject. Even though the engine values are around 20 years old they are relatively pertinent. The Evinrude history is especially fascinating. I highly recommend this book for those that are interested in the many facets of the outboard boat motor manufacturing business that are discussed in detail.

Would recommend to Martin fans.

If you want a book to tell you about the history of old outboard motors this book is for you. If you want a book that tells you how to work on old outboard motors this book is not for you. It gives a good guide as to who made what and when. It is not a service manual.

If you love old outboard motors,then this a MUST read book.I never knew there were so manyMakes of motors back in those days.this read shares the history of all the different makes and modelsFrom back then and even give you a pricing guideline and even some engine specs.Well worth the purchase.

A wealth of information here. Information on EVERY brand of old outboard from around the world. There's even a good bit of reference material in the back, including a price guide, but his prices are extremely low compared to outboard prices in my neck of the woods (New Orleans). Even so, still an interesting and informative book.
