Re: Trying to identify a Gale outboard

Great news - did you manage to take her for a spin ?

Did you have to pay to use the slipway ?

Who are you going to use to service the engine ?

Re: Trying to identify a Gale outboard

Nice to see the boat on Saturday - looks very original - glad you managed to get the engine started.

Did you manage to dunk her in the Avon on Sunday ?
