Dedicated to the Preservation and Restoration of Antique Outboards

“In October 1965, five collectors planned and organized “The Antique Outboard Motor Club”. In January of 1966, the first issue of “The Antique Outboarder” was printed. Thirty copies were mailed to members. By October of 1966, membership had increased to more than 200 people in several countries.  Our growth continues with membership now in the area of 3,000 dedicated members from (currently) 14 countries.

A number of antique outboarders are “old-timers” who are motor and boating enthusiasts of long standing, or who have been involved in the manufacture of outboards. Other members just collect old outboards – a few members owning several hundred!  Collecting is fun and exciting;  some of these outboards are 5-cylinder, radial engine, tractor lower units, underwater engine, air drive units and folding motors – all typical forerunners of modern outboards.

You’re not the only one who’s interested in old outboard motors. There’s lots of people – businessmen, doctors, bricklayers, dentists, mechanics and people of all ages have the opportunity of sharing the rewarding experiences offered by the non-profit Antique Outboard Motor Club, Inc.  (AOMCI).

Your membership in AOMCI will provide you with a rich mixture of personal associations and accomplishments. You’ll meet interesting new people while following leads provided by the Club to add motors to your collection; make new friends by joining a chapter of the Club in your area or by corresponding with other members and realize a great deal of satisfaction and pride from participating in displays, shows and Club Meets.

Get started by advancing your spark of interest and join AOMCI. You’ll get a new and broader perspective on what fun and enjoyment a well-rounded hobby can bring. Antique outboarding offers a more personal and meaningful thrill than that found in modern boating.

You’ll be able to take a battered and worn, grease covered old engine and enjoy the fun and satisfaction of putting life into an old motor and letting it “show its stuff” to those curious watchers on the shore.

Suddenly those hard to find motors, parts, owner’s manuals and instruction books will be available to you through the Club’s resources. Antique engine parts are still to be found – if you know where to find them.

As a member of AOMCI you will receive a membership card, use of the extensive Club library, a subscription to the Club magazine, full access to the resources on the website, and the opportunity to register your motors as antiques.

Registration not only helps locate lost or stolen motors, it also enables members to contact others who have a motor similar to their own.

You can participate in both indoor and outdoor Club meets, run engines, and talk shop with friends having the same interests as yours. High points of the Club’s activities are the annual National and International meets held at different times in several sections of the country. These meets give both local and distant members a chance to show off their motors, swap parts, exchange information, and learn more about antique outboarding. Prizes may be offered for, among others, the Fastest Motor in its Class, the Oldest Running Motor, the Best Original Motor, and the Best Restored Motor. Spectator interest is terrific.

In many parts of the USA, Canada, and overseas, members live close enough to one another that regular local chapter meetings are held during which – you guessed it – members and guests can discuss, run, work on, and swap and sell old outboards. Many of these chapter meetings also include competitions and prizes.

You can talk with or correspond with others having the same kind of engines or the same favorite topics you do by belonging to one of the many “Special Interest Groups” offered by the Club. Different engine makes, history, racing, and unusual motors are just a few of the unique groups you can be part of.

You’ll get full bore coverage on all outboarding subjects in the quarterly Club magazine The Antique Outboarder – history, restoration, technical reports, antique outboard racing, special features, chapter news, and a classified advertising section where members can buy, sell or trade motors, parts and literature.

Special attention is given to helping members restore their motors and to reporting Club and member activities. All material is written by Club members, who are encouraged to contribute items of interest.

And, of course, there is this website. A public forum (which is also open to members) covers technical questions and offers free classified ads. In addition, there is a very active Members Only section which includes an ever growing reference library and multiple Members Only discussion boards that cover general topics, member videos, member-only classifieds, etc. These discussion boards are open to all members to speak their piece, ask questions and answer other members’ questions, have a little fun, etc.

Want to communicate in real time? There’s a private chat-room for members.

You’ll also find several other interesting, educational and fun features.

Founded in 1966, AOMCI is an international organization that brings together antique outboard enthusiasts from around the world. It’s 100% family friendly, whether on the forums, in person at meets, or in the pages of The Antique Outboarder.

Many members also own, restore, run, or otherwise enjoy antique outboard boats.

It’s up to you to pull that starter rope and join The Antique Outboard Motor Club, Inc.

Don’t miss another day of fun and enjoyment!

• Published over 300 website main topic webpages, many with full articles on the topic. See our Website Contents or the Right Sidebar for the listing of the main topic pages.
• Published over 9,000 marine vendor webpages, all with their contact information, most with a description of their products and services, many with product documentation, specifications and independent reviews. (incl.: Boat designers, boat building tools, material and equipment manufacturers and suppliers, boat builders and dealers, yacht brokers, marine surveyors, boat insurers, boat transporters, skippers and crews, boatyards and marinas, yacht clubs, boat rentals and yacht charters, boating, seamanship and maritime schools, marine law attorneys and expert witnesses, boat refitters and repairers, book authors, magazine publishers, video producers, and website creators)
• Acquired over 120,000 pages of product documentation including Catalogs, Brochures, SpecSheets, Pictures, Serial Number Guides, Installation Manuals, OpManuals, Parts Catalogs, Parts Bulletins, Shop Manuals, Wiring Diagrams, Service Bulletins, and Recalls. And have made all viewable to Academy Members through our EAB website eLibrary.
• Acquired over 1,200 books and magazine back issues in our academy library and so far have made over 700 viewable to Academy Members through our EAB website eLibrary.
• Published over 500 DIY How-To articles about boat design, construction, inspection, operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair. We are working hard to do more.

We are currently formatting and polishing the Anchors Aweigh Academy online and hands-on courses. Our Marine Surveying course has proven to be excellent for both the beginner and the seasoned surveyor, and especially helpful to the Do-It-Yourselfer.

General Comments About the Website

FROM Donald: "This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work."

FROM Huey: "I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them?"

FROM Dewey: "Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially."

FROM Louie: "I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle."

FROM Scrooge: "You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug."

FROM Daisy: "I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine."

FROM Scrooge: "After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership."

FROM Editor: "For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks, and we hope that you found this little narrative informative. Your faithful support inspires us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article. Submit any comments via email To: Comments♥EverythingAboutBoats.org (Replace "♥" with "@"). Be sure to include this page's title in the subject line. Also, your corrections, updates, additions and suggestions are welcomed. Please submit them via email To: Editor♥EverythingAboutBoats.org (Replace "♥" with "@").
