It is described as a 12 hp 1959 Sea Bee. Interesting color scheme.

Now that’s funny. It looks like an 18hp Evinrude with a 1958 Johnson motor cover.

Could it be they have swapped the transom clamp from a Goodyear? They are giving me a Goodyear model number but it doesn’t look anything like the pics I am pulling up.

Hmmmm. I know you guys are right. I wonder where they are getting the 225-3451 model # from?

Worth a $60 gamble?

Did the Gale 12 use the same lower as the 18 hp OMC? The owner is telling me she got the "Gale/manufactured for Goodyear" off the tag.

The welsh plug on the powerhead will tell the truth.My guess is a Johnson top end on a Gale/Goodyear tower and lower.

If you have too many, AND not enough, you're a collector.
