    The Gale 12 is very related to the Evinrude & Johnson 15hp. Very related, but not absolutely same as. It is a smaller bore and has plain bearings, not roller bearings. But like their J/E cousins, they run well and are very reliable. I had a ’56 Gale 12 Deluxe (remote tank model) that I bought brand new back in the day, and learned to ski with it. I put lots of fun hours on that motor.
