A new exhibit at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton has been under development for six months, with help from a design firm from New York City.
It's called the National Motorboat Show and focuses on the first 50 years of motorboating from roughly 1895 to around 1945.
"Our curator has gone into the storage units and found boats that have great significance to the time frame we're trying to replicate here," the museum's Mike Folsom said, "and has pulled those out for people to see and touch."
The exhibit also features early-era motorboat engines and the vintage advertising that helped launch new boats of a 100 years ago.
Museum officials say the exhibit may be up for about the next 10 years.
