The Wolverine Motor Works of Grand Rapids, WI produced the WOLVERINE marine propulsion engine.
Background
Clark Sintz had been undertaking pioneering engine work both on his own and with John F. Endter. John Foos held the patent. The Sintz Gas Engine Company was formed in about 1885 by Clark Sintz and others in Springfield, Ohio. It was a pioneering marine engine manufacturing business.
In 1885 the company demonstrated a small 2-cycle engine in a small boat. The engine was based on a Dugald Clerk design. Clerk was a Scottish engineer who had patented the engine in the 1870s.
Foos formed his own company, Foos Gas Engine Company, in 1889 using his own improved version of Clark Sintz’s engine.
In 1894 Elwood Haynes used a Sintz engine in his first car, as did Milton Reeves in 1896.
The Michigan Yacht and Power Company built vessels fitted with Sintz engines for which they were an agent. In 1902, The Sintz Gas Engine Company was sold to the Michigan Yacht and Power Company, In 1903, the Sintz Gas Engine Company ceased to exist as an entity.
Clark Sintz had previously (In 1894) sold his interest in the Sintz Gas Engine Company and, together with his son, Claude formed the Wolverine Motor Works.
Beginnings
Wolverine Motor Works was organized in 1899 with $20,000 in capital. Its original stockholders were A. C. Denison, James Lowe, Eliza E. Lowe, Roland Lowe, Frank A. Simonds, Edward Lowe, and Sintz Bros. Wherupon it commenced its business in manufacturing gasoline engines. Its products were first made at the Butterworth & Lowe shops, but it now has a factory of its own at 128 South Front street. It now makes gasoline engines, boats and launches which are sold and used all over the world. It now has $100,000.00 invested capital and its present officers are C. L. Snyder, president and treasurer; Jules Panigot, assistant treasurer and auditor; and Louis D. Snyder, secretary and vice-president. It employs about 55 men in its Grand Rapids shops, and about 25 men at Holland. Sixty per cent of its products are exported and its boats are found in all waters that civilized man travels. It is under the active management of Charles L. Snyder.
[Source: Goss, Dwight. History of Grand Rapids and its Industries, Vol. II (Chicago, IL: C. F. Cooper & Co., 1906.) p. 1092.]
“Hi Scott Peters. Larry Mahan here. I purchased the Wolverine Motor Works in 1982. I have been studying this company’s history for 27 years. There are several errors in the copy from the Dwight Goss piece. When I get back from sailing the Spirit of Larinda I’ll let you know the correct info. I am leaving from San Diego for Cape Cod, Ma. in two weeks.” [ED: Unknown if corrections were ever accomplished]
The Wolverine Motor Works was initially formed to make motor cars but instead began making marine engines for pleasure boats and in 1901 moved its marine engine manufacturing to Holland, Michigan. That same year Sintz sold the business to Charles Snyder. Sintz had been engaged by Snyder to design a small gauge railway for his banana plantation in Panama.
Claude Sintz went on to make marine engines under his name from 1904 to 1907 and then founded The Sintz-Wallin Company of Grand Rapids. His early engines were two strokes with the brand name “Leader”. In 1913 Sintz-Wallin merged with the Midland Tractor Company and formed the Leader Gas Engine Company. In 1915, Leader moved to Quincy, Illinois, where they consolidated along with Dayton Foundry and Machine Company and Hayton Pump Company into Dayton-Dick Company. Dayton-Dick became Dayton-Dowd in 1919 and ceased making tractors in 1924. The pump manufacturing business continued until 1945 when it was acquired by the Peerless Pump Company. Peerless is now owned by Grundfos.

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.
