- Constantine Super Meet in July
The Constantine Super Meet in July is a great meet hosted by the Great Lakes and MOB (Michiana Outboard Boating) chapters of AOMCI. As always it was really enjoyable and superbly organized. For rowboat motor nuts this was a big year as those motors were featured!! The oldest rowboat motor there was a 1906 air cooled Waterman that powered a boat on the second day. There was a great variety...those I can remember offhand are: Sweet, Wisconsin, Evinrude, Caille, Gopher, Gearholdt, Aerothrust, Koban, Lockwood-Ash, and Amphion.
These are Jack's photos from the two days.
- Lee Holland's, April in Michigan
A wonderful Caille meet attended by Arthur Caille (grandson of a founder of Caille Outboard Motors)!! Arthur is the the fellow with the big smile in the red vest.
Many thanks to Lee and everyone who made the meet such a success.
These photos are up elsewhere, too, and may be easier for you to see...try here.

It was COLD! You'll see a photo collection of real bundled up frozen guys....some of their stuff...and the warm meeting hall in the church where much appreciated lunch and hot coffee revived the troops.
