      I’m looking for lower cowls for this Goodyear Sea-Bee. I can’t even find a picture showing what they should look like. Anyone know the year by looking at the tank? I’m cobbling together the rest of the motor from parts so I can’t go by serial number. Since it’s a frankenstein motor, maybe it doesn’t matter what lower cowling I use? I’d still like to see what the setup is for this particular tank.

          That’s odd, a picture got in there that I didn’t post. Here is my other one.

          EDIT: Still odd, I didn;t post that one.

              Here is a picture I have.
              Don’t remember where it came from
              but is obvious why I saved it. I have
              it saved as a 1948.

                Here’s a ’53 five horse which is more similar to yours than the late forties models.

                  Thanks for the photos and suggestions. I wonder if this silver tank had a different color recoil originally? I wish there was a vintage Gale website.

                  Mumbles, the 53 model you show doesn’t have the flat wings that come off the sides of the fuel tank. What do you mean when you say that’s more similar to mine?

                  The motor Tubs shows has had a wonderful restoration but I can’t get myself to say it’s a good looking motor. Still want to put one together, though.

                    I love them because they are so blamed ugly. Some people call them Snoopy motors.

                        Might be “fugly.” I like that snoopy reference!
