Saturday was our first day of events that we like to participate in up north each year. First was the Outboard Swap Meet held locally in Burnt Hills. Although not a huge gathering, it was Dave's first opportunity to display the 1960's British Seagull outboards that our good friend Scott in Florida, gave Dave to display here in the northeast. Dave already had one of his own, so with Scott's, he now has a lucky 7 of them to make a "Flock of Seagulls" to bring to shows. Since there hasn't been much time to get everything set, he used his cart to at least bring 4 of them this time around. The cart itself is old and has great iron wheels on it.
Here are a few other people's displays that day...
We may end up with this Atco Impellar outboard. It is also British, with a small motorcycle type engine, and has a long shaft with a protected propeller, that can be used in marshes. Plus, it folds up as you can see in the photo below. It is for sale, but no price has been determined yet, so we shall see what happens.
Dave cut the show short (it was only 40 degrees out anyway), and we raced to the Washington County Fairgrounds for their bi-annual Antique Flea Market. The place was busier than we have ever seen it before with lots of garage sale type items too. Amazingly we ended up not buying anything at all this time (no photos either). Perhaps next time, but meanwhile this was a great start to our summer season of events. Now all we need is summertime weather! 😉
