Haha you got me to click. Had to see how one of those could possibly hit 81 mph! Still pretty sweet, cool outboard.

Great to see you are ready to come and rescue your neighbor again. You're living the dream out there.

[@ALVintageOutboards]

Yes I am!

[@fourfortyroadrunner6701]

I admit I've not heard of this brand name. I do have a few old OMC outboards, including a Gale made or two. One is a Buccaneer, and of course Sea King. I was born and raised in the N end of Idaho, my Dad, when I grew up, worked for an NAPA store. The owner held the Johnson Franchise, so Dad on top of other parts store duties, was the Johnson mech. He also had to work on other oddball brands which came in the door, Elgin, Lauson, etc.

Very cool to read this!! Yes, Brooklure was a Gale made outboard, and there is a Bucaneer that looks just like it!! I have one! Thanks for sharing buddy!!

May not be 81mph, but that thing looks like it skoots.

[@ALVintageOutboards]

Yes, it sure does for a 12hp! Thanks so much for watching 👀!! Please come back soon!

[@pryan05p71]

[@ALVintageOutboards]

Thank you Ryan! I very much appreciate you!

So close to 88. If you add a flux capacitor and squeeze out just a little more power, you' ll have a time machine! 😂

[@ChrissyEis]

[@ALVintageOutboards]

[@stevegrignon]

18 trust me on that. 81 you can't talk

[@ALVintageOutboards]

Thanks, but I know it was 18mph. 81 is just a way to get people to watch. It's a common KZbin practice. Some call it 'click-bait'. Thanks for watching 👀
