The History of the Outboard Motor | PowerBoat Television

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

Lots of good times and memories.

My father always talked about merc’s and Kefer and quick silver lower units, but never owned any , he had a 1949 Barber runabout with a OD Green army twin Johnson barge motor on the back of the 12 ft boat / and 2 different lower units . I loved your shop , thank you.

The Black Stack from Fon du Lac! Those tower of power motors were awesome!

I re-built a 1960's Hydro in 1979. My dad used to race Class B Hydros and he found an old Class D that needed a LOT of restoration. I used to built model planes and boats (RC) and a 10.5" McDonald Hydro that needed love was my project one winter and I ran it the following summer with a 35HP Merc like those you see in this video. Henry Shakeshaft had the Guinness's book of record of 99MPH in Mighty Flighty before I re-built her. We sold it to pay for my 1st year of college

A lot of great information! There were portable outboard motors at least a decade before that Waterman, however.

[@theriverbend]

Wow, what an amazing collection and what a nice guy to show it. Thank you for a great video!

[@Carlos-hs8zo]

I enjoyed seeing your collection. Thanks! I am a Thor (pre Mercury) and first year production Mercury collector.

[@roberthayter157]

Excellent, fascinating video that deserves a lot more views.

[@thomasstark5381]

Very good video. It is all about letting others know.

[@cruithin4773]

Well you told me that you collected outboard motors Sandy. But I had no idea that your collection would be like a museum. That’s amazing.

[@brandonjloving]

[@PowerBoatTV]

Buenisimo !! Saludos desde Argentina !!

[@russthomson6168]

well explained, I watched the whole thing

[@denisgosselin7383]

My dad has a magazine that States the first outboard that was made by Evinrude which was a 1904 Submerged Electric out board.

[@another-kr8kw]

Outboard propulsion has been documented from as early as 1870

[@jimolson8424]

Ole Evinrude's wife did the marketing. They were a great team.

[@AnthonySStv]

Fantastic 👍👍

[@PowerBoatTV]

Thanks Anthony!

Credit Charlie Strang, for developing the first in-line 6 , against Kiekhaefer's wishes and Charlie's mother, for the black color, to make it look smaller.

[@tezzzier]

[@treeandaturd]

[@jamesgeddes5047]

Newshows?

[@drh6808]

Didn't the great racing car designer and builder Harry Miller have something to do with the invention of the outboard motor ?

[@scottboat6552]

There are 3 things that I got rid off after I turned about 18 that I very much regret. 1. My Rupp roadster mini bike I sold for $ 35.00, 2. my sunfish sailboat, and 3. my 1959 Scott Atwater 3.5 HP outboard, i think I gave it away :(

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

Yeah, I know the feeling Buddy! I sold or basically gave away Soo many toy's and different things that are literally worth Soo much money today it's hard to believe!

[@sandyvogt9212]

How about the Homeliite 4 stroke?

[@remcolohnen7399]

No image, only sound.

[@bernardbergen2779]

The name is pronounced Kee-Kay-Fer - not Kee-Kaw- Fer.

[@Outboardguy44]

So many of his "facts" are completely out to lunch. next time y'all want to make an authoritative video, try anybody in the AOMCI. Thanks for your time.

[@boat4life622]

I heard that this is not very accurate History - so I will Not watch it.

[@ScottAtwater1]

Steve Briggs(Briggs and stratton engines) started OMC in the late 20's, Ole did not sell to OMC in the 10's like he mentioned.

[@holykingfish]

There are many errors.
