Outboard motors have been manufactured for the better part of 100 years. The interest became so widespread that by 1960, antique outboard collectors began to correspond with one another. In October 1965, five collectors planned and organized "The Antique Outboard Motor Club". In January of 1966, the first issue of "The Antique Outboarder" was printed. Thirty copies were mailed to members. By October of 1966, membership had increased to more than 200 people in several countries.  Our growth continues with membership now in the area of 3,000 dedicated members from (currently) 14 countries. The Mohawk Hudson chapter was chartered March 17, 2005 and has about 35 members plus a large group of friends.
