TOPIC: NEW original power houses

I finally bought this 1959 Gale sovereign 60hp v-4 that is a super nice original that I wanted a v-4 on the Aeroglas that we are doing,I have some nice v4 and very nice hoods but you cant beat original,,also the 1961 WEST Bend Shark that has been in the west bend museum,never sold til about 10 months ago,,never started with tags on it,It just goes in the back room to look at,, I have 3 others that can be used someday, c u Bill pic tonight

I'm pretty sure the earliest your 60hp Gale could be is a 1960 model. If it were a 59 it would put Gale ahead of Johnson and Evinrude as the largest motor either made was 50hp in 59.

Those are fantastic! So the West Bend will not be run? I can respect keeping it un-sullied, but alas...
