NORTH WEBSTER - The Antique Outboard Motor Club will hold their 2023 Spring Antique Outboard Motor Show and Swap Meet on May 20 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 and encouraged to attend. There is no admission fee.
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.
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.
