"Incredible amount of detail about all those kickers from the past, including an appendix with comprehensive model-year information."WoodenBoat"This book is the one to buy if you are... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you thought the first 2 editions were good, wait until you get the third edition: bigger and even more packed with information on old outboards! Peter's easy to read style makes this book a pleasure to read and re-read!
A great book for anyone curious about old outboard motors.

Peter Hunn has distilled a plethora of details about the history of the outboard motor into a readable and accurate record. The entire range of outboard engineering from the first iron and brass "knucklebusters" to the more modern engines developed after WWII. The places. The people. The times. All gathered into concise, understandable and interesting reading. Among the more interesting chapters is a section on collectible model outboards, a model - year guide for the more popular brands, even a price guide of estimated collectors valuations for most older models. A "must read" for the antique and vintage outboard buff!
