Hello all,
I picked up two Goodyear motors yesterday from the old trusty Craigs list. Both are 5hp models and both share the same model# of 025-3564A. They both look totally different. The first one has a full shroud around the bottom half of the motor and is serial# 351447. The other has no shrouds around the bottom and has serial# 341625. The both have different what I am assuming are fuel shutoff knobs at the bottom of the carb. The one with the full shroud has a flat knob to clear the shroud and the other has a much larger rounded knob. from searching the internet I understand they are Gail outboards from 1947 or 48. How can two outboards with the same model number be so different? Can anyone shed some light on this? Any Gail gurus on the forum?
