Links to Outboard Motor and Boat Restoration

The Antique and Classic Boat Society is a resource for restoring classic boats.   The ACBS Pacific Northwest Chapter has a question/answer forum.

Fiberglassics is a nationally known resource for the restoration of old fiberglass boats.   The Pacific Northwest Chapter of Fiberglassics is not only the go-to source for information on all PNW fiberglass boats, it is just plain fun!   Many folks in the PNW Chapter appreciate the Sande Ace.

John's Old Mercury Web Site is a great resource with a question/answer forum and charts to identify old Mercury outboards from serial numbers.

The Mercury Outpost is another question/answer forum for old Mercury outboards.

Grubb's Marine is a source for old Mercury outboard parts.   It also has a superb model identification guide with pictures.

The Antique Outboard Motor Club is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of antique outboards.   They post classified ads for buying and selling old outboard motors and parts.

The Lady Clipper plywood runabout was built in Tacoma, Washington by the Sigler brothers in the 1950s.   With its double cockpit, it has been confused with the Sande Ace.   A page on the Lady Clipper has been appended to this site.   This new web site also contains pictures of the Mansfield boat.

The Grapeview Point Boat Works has stretched the original plans for the 12-foot Ace resulting in a runabout which is very similar to the Sande version.

The Mother of All Maritime Links is exactly that!   At last count, there were 105 wide-ranging maritime categories with very large numbers of links in each category!
