I'm looking for a block... 5hp Gale Buccaneer serial# 866693 model 5D-22B. I believe this to be a 1963 please correct me if I'm wrong. I bought a 14ft alum boat and this motor was thrown in on the deal, man said it ran great the last time he fished. I tried to pull the rope but seemed to be seized up, the guy said it was just the rope and that it is tangled up in re-coil. After some inspecting, "3 hours worth" the piston in lower cylinder was completely seized up with rust and bearings where all over the bottom of block...so long story short I'm need of a block. Are parts still available for this power head, pistons, rings bearings, gasket kit, possible crank too? Or will this be even worth re-building?? Thanks for any advise.
