What started a couple of years ago as a little run-what-you-bring event has really blossomed! A huge thanks to Rod C. for hosting the event and to all the folks who came - some all the way from NH!! I think all total we had about 15 members/families and just about maxed out the parking lot. (Good thing is was a quiet day there!)
Thanks to Maureen L., Tom M., Tom C., Rod C. and others for the photos

Bob Z. gave Graham this little '47 Sportsman at Glen's meet a couple of weeks ago. Graham and dad went through it and got it to run. This is the perfect kid motor - his face says it all!

Motors waiting to be run |
Art & Graham stopped the West Bend for a gam with Norm D. |
|
|
Norm's new Jon boat was really cool - went like the wind with just the '62 Evinrude Sportwin 10hp. |
Bob Z. goes for a ride with Walt L. and his Merc 200 |
|
|
Little HD-25 Johnson 2.5hp was perfect for the little Jon boat |
Ken H. and Bill A. try out a QD-14 - motor was a fresh barn find and had just been gone through. Since the covers are a pain to install, best to be sure everything is working first!

Dean P. admiring Tom M's 1954 Johnson 5.5hp - wishes his Merc ran as well.... |
Art S. paddles in after Harry's 1940 Lauson OB-410 2.5hp refused to start - more crud in the carb from the ethanol "cleaning" the inside of the tank. |
|
|
Cole and Ken B. running the KH-7 Cruiser - NICE!! |
And the Mark 6 did well too, once it got started |
|
|
Graham & Art and Tom and David enjoying the beautiful day! |
Host Rod C. holds the hungary hoards at bay with his spatula! |

Member of the community saw our AOMCI gang out on the lake and stopped by for help with his 1950 Johnson HD-25 2.5hp . Everyone pitched in to help! |
Walt L's Mercury 200 at rest |

Will G. and his recent barn find a 1970 Johnson 4hp |
Team Maffei came all the way down from NH and had a great time. Here Michelle checks an f-stop as Gary films. |
|
|
Lookee, a 1938 Bendix SMD 2.5hp just laying around! |
Hey guys, look at what Dean just found in the grass! |
|
|
Tom M (on right) - "Well Dean, did they fall for it?"
Dean - "Well, I had Art going, but in the end they figured it out!"
|
Tom M. running the long-term-project Martin 100. This baby has been through the hands of a couple other AOMCI members - great to see it up & running! |
|
|
Harry & meet host Rod C. give the Caille Model 79 a try |
She runs GREAT!! |

|
Tom M. choreographed and took the photo above. For those of you not familiar, long time Yankee Chapter anchor-man Dan T. recently re-located back to his home state of Missouri. Now he's active with the AOMCI out there, our loss is their gain - we do miss you Dan! (And Harry could have used his tow service when his Lauson conked out....)
