      Good evening,

      Anyone have any idea what brand model of boat motor this is?

      Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks,
      Lewis

          Early 5hp Gale-built variant.

            It’s definitely a Gale product with the hurricane warning flags on the Welch plug!

            Was this meant as a wake up call to the Mercury owners back in the day?

              You have a keen eye Mumbles. I had no idea those were hurricane warning
              flags……. then again, I’ve never seen any on MN lakes!

              Prepare to be boarded!

                  Interesting link Frank, Thanks!
                  The Gale “hurricane flags” must have been a slight to Mercury,
                  rather than the little Gale pushing the boat 73 mph, the warning
                  flag ranking!
