1926- Part 1 - Up and Down Glen Canyon of the Colorado

 

Up and Down Glen Canyon of the Colorado by Lewis R. Freeman

from Motor Boating, August 1926

1930 - The Dangers of Littering

This article only marginally involves an old outboard, but it is so interesting I could not resist sharing it.

It is a cautionary tale - if you litter you might have a whale knock your outboard off. 

 

Elto Quad Jigsaw Puzzle

Relax...  take time to play. 

1. News article about when the first outboard ad was published...

2. A page from an undated Evinrude catalog (I think)

3. Boyd Martin and Elto Quad

1922 - A Nice Johnson Ad

Nice Johnson outboard ad!  Full size image down below this one.

I have to place full size images lower as I have little control of what the list of previous blog postings column will cover - so I just place things down so low it is not an issue.
Don't you want to know who the kid holding the outboard is?

1930 - "New York to Miami in Fast Time" With An Elto Quad

1929 - Capt. Bordewich's " A Compass In The Outboard"

This article caught my attention because it is by Capt. Bordewich, the man that crossed the North Sea with his Elto Quad in the previous post.  But what made me want post it is the do-it-yourself navigating technology he was sharing, product of a great trial and error design process.
