Customer Reviews

Excellent addition to your library!

If you thought the first 2 editions were good, wait until you get the third edition: bigger and even more packed with information on old outboards! Peter's easy to read style makes this book a pleasure to read and re-read!

A great book for anyone curious about old outboard motors.

A great book detailing the history of the outboard motor covering the big three and various independent outboard manufactures.

A collector must have.

Great book for the begining outboard collector. Lots of brand history and identification information.

A laymans' guide to the full spectrum of outboarding history

Peter Hunn has distilled a plethora of details about the history of the outboard motor into a readable and accurate record. The entire range of outboard engineering from the first iron and brass "knucklebusters" to the more modern engines developed after WWII. The places. The people. The times. All gathered into concise, understandable and interesting reading. Among the more interesting chapters is a section on collectible model outboards, a model - year guide for the more popular brands, even a price guide of estimated collectors valuations for most older models. A "must read" for the antique and vintage outboard buff!
