    I inherited my neighbor’s Martin ’20’ outboard when I moved to Texas in 1973. I am guessing it is in the 1940’s or 1930’s vintage. The tag says A 10875 S/N. Eau Claire Wisconsin National Pressure Cooker Company. It is clean, almost like it belonged to the little old lady who just drove it to church on Sundays.’ I used it, not many times, on my 17′ canoe and a few more times in a rowboat to go to our duck blinds. However I out lived my duck hunting partners and places to hunt. I had thoughts of donating it to a maritime museum or place that would like to have a good looking motor for display instead of the typical beat up rusty relics. Any suggestions?
    Thanks, Dan Kolar dekolar at sbcglobal.net Austin TX.

    Dan,
    I live not far from you down in Rockport, TX. The Texas Maritime Museum here in Rockport used to have a collection of vintage outboard motors they kept on display, and would rotate the display every few months. I know the Museum suffered some damage during in Hurricane Harvey back in 2017 but they are back in full operation now (well, reduced hours due to Covid-19). Could be they might be looking for some new donations if they lost some of the motors to the storm, or might be looking to add to their collection.
