: I am looking for a photograph of a boat powered by a Model A engine.I work in a marine museum and we have an "A" engine with a factory built marine conversion on it.It's a great piece!We want to put it on exhibit but I would like to show a boat underway with "A" power.A shot on the engine in the boat would be super but just the boat cruising on the water would be fine. Pls E-Mail me.Thanks.
George,
Some time ago I researched Marine applications of Model "A" motors.I had the opportunity to visit the Library of Congress and found quite a bit of info out of magazines for the marine enthusiast of the period.If you would like I will be happy to fax or mail my info to you.Just let me know what you'd prefer.
I also happened across the plans for Edsel Ford's private yacht, that was some kinda boat.
Doug
