The boat motor sculptures are located in a variety of areas. Some are easier than others to find. The sculpture located at the feet of Big Ole is perhaps the easiest to find. Locating the beautiful colored-pencil art sculpture at Integrity Title or the painting of Big Ole at the Alexandria Airport are a little more difficult. (Scuplture #9 at the AAHS Performing Arts Center is currently not in place at the moment).

The Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Alexandria Class of 2023 developed and implemented the boat motor sculpture project as their “class project” upon completion of the course.
