Anyone ever been to this place?

I found this link on the JOM site, showing
a video in the Maritime Museum.

Also found the official homepage of the place, at….
http://www.arnoldspark.com/

If I ever take a wrong turn and end up in Iowa, I’ll
have to check it out.

Prepare to be boarded!

Great place, Very Nicely done A+++ to everyone involved with this wonderful maritime museum!
I can’t wait to see it some day. "The AOMCI needs a National Outboard museum" If you can dream it
You can do it. Maybe build it in Detroit Mi, at the location of the old Waterman Factory!!!

I would prefer the old Evinrude Factory in Milwaukee. . . 😀

I am with you Garry! Milwaukee was about the geographical center of outboard manufacturing in the heyday. The vast majority of outboards produced were built reasonably close to Milwaukee.

This is something to think about. Within about a 60 mile radius of Milwaukee, were built Water Witch/Elgin/West Bend/Chrysler/Force and the store brands they built, Mercury, Johnson, Evinrude, Lauson, Flambeau, and (Eska power heads built by Tecumseh). Extend it out to 250 miles and you include Muncie, Neptune, Martin, OMC’s Gale division and all of the brands they built (Brooklure, Gale, Hiawatha. Extend it again to 350 miles and add Scott Atwater, and their store brands Corsair, Firestone, McCulloch, Sears, Goodyear and Champion, Lockwood, and Clinton.

I am sure I missed a lot of them, but this is really pretty neat.

New to this excellent site. I am in the search for a pair of cowling clamps for a 30hp or 33hp Scott Atwater Bail o Matic. I have a good set of the cowing, just missing the clamps. Will purchase the two pieces or the side with the clamps also. Any help. PLEASE!!
