- On the 2021 PowerBoat Television season finale, we took a look back at the history of the outboard motor with Sandy Kennedy from the Maple Leaf Antique Outboard Club. Sandy has one of the most well-displayed and complete collections you'll ever see, with pieces dating all the way back to the Waterman "Boat Propelling Device" of 1906. Sandy takes us through the years of Evinrude, Elto, Johnson, right up to Carl Kiekhaefer's Mercury "tower of power" racing outboards.

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
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.
Excellent, fascinating video that deserves a lot more views.
Wow, what an amazing collection and what a nice guy to show it. Thank you for a great video!
A lot of great information!
There were portable outboard motors at least a decade before that Waterman, however.
I enjoyed seeing your collection. Thanks! I am a Thor (pre Mercury) and first year production Mercury collector.
Very good video. It is all about letting others know.
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.
This was a really good episode!
Thanks Brandon!
Outboard propulsion has been documented from as early as 1870
well explained, I watched the whole thing
My dad has a magazine that States the first outboard that was made by Evinrude which was a 1904 Submerged Electric out board.
Buenisimo !! Saludos desde Argentina !!

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 :(
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!
Didn't the great racing car designer and builder Harry Miller have something to do with the invention of the outboard motor ?
Newshows?
Where is this museum?
How about the Homeliite 4 stroke?
No image, only sound.
The name is pronounced Kee-Kay-Fer - not Kee-Kaw- Fer.
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.
I heard that this is not very accurate History - so I will Not watch it.
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.
There are many errors.
