Yankee Chapter: Making Waves With Old Outboards
 
 


Shelton Formal Meet - September 8
th 2007

Outboarding Fun!

The Yankee Chapter of the AOMCI is holding a formal wet meet at Indian Well State Park on September 8th. Located in Shelton CT on the Housatonic River, the park sports ample parking, a boat ramp, plenty of beachfront for boats to be pulled up, barbecues and port-a-potties. Directions can be found at the bottom of this page.

There will be a sign in and $5 entry fee per member family attending the meet to cover the cost of the event - you must be a current AOMCI member to participate.

The Yankee Chapter of the AOMCI encourages people to bring motors, boats and outboard related items to the formal meet regardless of if they are entered in the formal judging. The national AOMCI organization requires each chapter to have one formal event and meeting each year. The judging will start at 10:00am with awards and a brief annual chapter meeting at approximately 12:00PM.

2007 marks the 85th anniversary of Johnson outboard motors. To honor this historic event the Yankee Chapter will celebrate by devoting the 2007 awards exclusively to motors from Johnson. The awards will be in the following categories.

1) Johnson Light Twins 1922-1926 *

Special Awards

Most Unusual Johnson Outboard
Presidents Choice

* Note: We want to see as many 1921-26 Johnson Model A's as possible. There will be a special shared prize for the two owners of motors (from different collections) with the closest serial numbers!

Fitting with Johnson's legendary reliability and dependability, all motors entered in the formal judging must be in operational condition - judges may request a demonstration.

In addition to the formal judging, it would be outstanding to have one of each Johnson model represented at the meet for the first 20 years of production: 1922-1942. (We want post war motors too but it was too much to ask to have every model from the first 50 years!) We will try to note in the Motors Expected column below what people email us they will be displaying, this will help you decide on what to bring. Please email the webmaster at the "Contact Us" link on the bottom of this page.

The more Johnson Outboards the merrier!
(If your motor does not appear on the list below please email the webmaster and it will be added!)
