Forgive me if I've posted this stuff elsewhere on this site.... but this forum is more or less right up my alley, although I'm more concerned with the motors themselves, and not so much the vessel(s) they push around
Rather than clog up your page with a bunch of pictures, I'll just drop these links here and you can scan them at your discretion
This one shows most of my collection as well as the machinery and so forth in my underground dungeon, although I must confess to no longer owning the Atlas shaper anymore

This link is for a photo album that gives some insight into the revival of a rare four-stroke outboard motor that was built in St Clair Shores, Michigan for the 1940 model year. The Detroiter featured in the album is the second one I've owned, and one of only 6 known to still exist. This one needed much more help to get going than my first one did.

Finally, one of the other projects I've managed to complete along the way, this one is a 1914 "Hiawatha" rowboat motor sold in 1914 by Montgomery-Ward. This motor is the only known example of the 1914 Hiawatha, and suffice it to say that it was a real thrill and an honour to be the person responsible for making it complete and operational again.

This album details the construction of a new gas tank for the Hiawatha

OK, I've used enough of your time, thanks for looking, and good luck with your old iron, eh™
Best,
