Antique Outboard Motor Show

  Lockeman's Hardware and Boat hosted it's annual outboard motor show last Saturday, 3/26/11. There were 15 outboards on display for judging by members of the Great Lakes Chapter of The Antique Outboard Motor Club, Inc. It's amazing how these members can get a 75 year old outboard motor to look. A lot of elbow grease and some fabricating are needed. Fabricating because parts are no longer available, that is unless Lockeman's doesn't have it in stock.
Along with the show is a swap meet in the alley. Quite a few vendors had the odd motor parts and things like motor covers which can be lost quickly in the Detroit River. It was a great turnout as I found out because by the time I got there the free doughnuts and hot dogs were gone. All in all everyone had a good time and enjoyed the show. Make sure to check my "To Do Downriver" next year to find out when it will be.
