What Gale product is this?

[Buccaneer]

I believe I have a rewind in the garage that looks like the
one on this Gale product motor.
Anyone know the store brand of a Gale product with the blue tank?
Note: I just re-read the ad and note that it says it was "re-painted"
30 years ago, therefore I have no idea if the tank was originally blue. 😮

Looks like the Elto version, going by the recoil and tank shapes…

Well Buccaner it is an easy ride up I-94 and you can stop @ Cabelas @ Rogers. Negotiate a better telephone price before you drive..3 HP or bigger.

Chinewalker, I think you are right. It definitely is not a 3hp version, because it is a twin cylinder. It may be a 12hp Elto. The tiller handle look like an Elto as well too.

Anyways at 50 to 80 bucks it is worth a look.

If it were closer, and he had a half price sale, I might buy it 🙂
I was just curious what is was so I knew what the rewind I
have belongs to.
Did Gale make Elto versions of outboards? The carb knob
sure looks like a Gale product.
Thanks!

No doubt about it, it is a 5hp.

I think Chinewalker nailed it—a 5hp Gale built Elto.

Yes, Gale / Elto / Evinrude / OMC are all intermingled, depending on year built. Here is my 3hp Gale Elto, made in Canada.

Thanks guys. I have several late 40’s ~ early 50’s Gale products.
Perhaps my loose rewind fits one of those!
