Page 32 of the Jan 2022 Antique Outboarder contained a copy
of a 1964 ad for “Polar Motor-Ice Outboard”.
Unfortunately I have received no responses from the AOMCI subscribers.
The web did not provide and information on the manufacturer.
I also contacted the La Crosse, Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce but so far no answer.
Of course I will be glad for any information concerning the “Polar Motor-Ice Outboard”…

January 21, 2022 at 11:06 am #253166Try contacting Brook Newcomb, the SIG for Rowboat motors. He has run his. He survived, the motor survived, but I don’t think the boat was ever the same.

January 22, 2022 at 1:34 pm #253220I will follow your suggestion and contact
Brook Newcomb about the “Ice Outboard”.
Plus I admit your email does not sound as though the
motor encouraged driving ones boat on ice.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Bob,
As Tom mentioned I do have a Polar Motor, I have only used the motor once for about an hour or two many years ago.
It is quite the machine. ( certainly one of the more unusual engines in my collection ) The sound of that beat up old boat sliding across the ice certainly made me cringe.
Feel free to email me and we can discuss further. benewcomb@hotmail.com

January 23, 2022 at 6:52 am #253252Hello Outboardnut,
First, thank you for the newspaper clipping about the “polar outboard”.
Could you please send me your email so I can contact you directly.
Secondly, do you have a “polar-outboard or have you ever owned one?
Do you have any pals I could contact who own or owned a “polar-outboard”??
Have you ever been present when someone ran or tied to run a “polar-outboard”??
So fear only 1 person has come forward who has “polar-outboard” but I would like to
gather more first hand information on the motors.
Needless to say I would appreciate your comments and help.

Nice chatting with you Bob. Feel free to share the pics and info. It was nice to hear it run again after digging it out and cleaning it up.
Maybe I will get a chance to run across the lake with it before the spring thaw.
Respectfully,
Brook
