Beautiful Outboards is a publishing first. Finally, the outboard motor gets its due in this glorious, full-color book. From the first Submerged Electric models and the pioneering Waterman to the early Evinrude, Johnson, Caille, Elto, and others, the book presents the stories of the motors and their builders. You'll find tiny fishing "putt putts" and flat-out racers, motors that propelled generations of water-skiers, and motors that took legions of families out for an afternoon at the local lake. This is a book full of wonderful surprises such as the amazingly styled Thor Streamliner, a fascinating Hubbell racer, the incredible Clarke Troller, the unusual Zundapp, and others. The period covered runs from the early 1900s to the 1960s, and the motors included come from several important collections in the US and Canada. Recalling a wonderful period in boating history, and chock full of beautifully restored motors, this is a book that virtually every outboard collector and enthusiast will want.
