Summary: Excellent introduction to the history of the outboard motor.
Comment: The Old Outboard Book by Peter Hunn is an excellent overview of the origins of the
outboard motor and its development. The book covers the pioneers of the industry like
Ole Evinrude, the third grade educated motor builder who was full of ingenuity. It tells
the tale of Carl Kiekhaefer, the mechanical engineer whose stumbling onto a few leftover
motors in the manufacturing plant he bought led to the creation of Mercury Marine, one
of the largest producers of outboards today. As an enthusiast of old outboard motors, I
thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a subject which is very difficult to find information
on, and this book is a very good starting point. The basics of collecting are covered, such
as what to look for, how much to pay, etc. There is also some basic technical information for old outboards from both major and minor manufacturers, as well as some very good illustrations. This book provides an excellent history lesson and a "how to" collection guide, but it is not a repair or technical manual by any means. I would recommend it to anyone who has ever had the cover off and old outboard.

Summary: An outboard collector's reference
Comment: After reading the 2nd edition of Peter Hunn's The Old Outboard Book I couldn't wait to get the revised and expanded 3rd edition. I take the book with me when I go looking for old outboards and swap meets. No better reference exists in my opinion.
