Westralian Old Outboard Chapter Boat Show Display

[ausob-collector]

Over the weekend just gone, the Westralian Old Outboard Chapter displayed at the 2018 Perth International Boat Show in Western Australia. This is the third year we’ve been invited to exhibit at one of these boat shows. This year we had motors from all around the world ranging from a 1911 Evinrude RBM to an Italian Garelli Jet, a ~1958 Australian Cromac Cadet to an Archimedes AB25 from Sweden and everything in between, including the ubiquitous British Seagull.
Having a prime location directly opposite the main entrance, we had several hundred people come through the display, with most commenting on how they remembered the Seagulls from their childhood.

Cheers,
BP

Really great display. You had an Atco and a Clarke Troller too. I like doing the public displays and hearing stories from the people. Have a good day mate.

I like them all, but that "Suitcase" Viking sure sticks out, lol.

Some familiar motors from my part of the world. Vikings always amuse..look like a shipyard worker’s tool / lunchbox. and I have fond memories of my old Atco – it was started up during barbies, to the general assumement of guests and despair of neighbours and would make my Mrs furious with it’s belching smoke and oil trail on the driveway.

Great pics, thanks for sharing this.
