HISTORY OF CHAMPION OUTBOARD MOTORS
 
Champion Motors Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota began in 1935 when the founders contracted with a machine shop to produce outboard motors. The owners of the production shop went on to found Scott-Atwater Outboard Motors. The Flour City Ornamental Iron Company began producing a "Champion" outboard motor in 1927, but it was not related to the later Champion Motors.
 
Champion began marketing their motors through the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company in 1939. Champion secured its own manufacturing facilities after World War II, but they lost the Firestone contract to Scott-Atwater.
 
Production continued from 1946 through 1957 with many Champion outboards sold through chain stores. Store brands included; Voyager, Majestic, and Sea Flyer (sold by B.F. Goodrich). They also produced and sold "Monarch" outboard motors as an economy-priced motor.
 
The “Tandem 33”, a twin pair of 16.5 HP counter-rotating outboards for cruiser and heavy runabout applications became one of Champion’s most notable offerings. The Tandem 33 was introduced in 1957, which was the last year of production for Champion. Champion never offered a convenient electric-start option for their outboard motors, likely contributing to the company’s demise.
 
In 1958, the Champion Motors Co. was purchased by Western Tool and Stamping Co. of Des Moine, Iowa. New outboard motors were not produced.
