    Hi all, I bought this bought in 2002, with a 5hp sea king and homemade trailer, for $100 in labor. Has been a row boat until lake travis filled up again.

    Ha! The little engine that could!

    I have a couple threads here on my efforts, as a clever amateur, to bring to life 3 different outboard motors. The knowledge learned here has advanced mew to where I am today: 2 for 2, 2 sweet 5hp motors running like new. Gonna pick up new coils tomorrow morning for the '63 Sea King from NAPA. I...

    Sea King by Gale, early 60s, new project

    So, back in 2002 I bartered some tile reapir labor for a boat, motor and trailer. The motor ran badly, so the boat became a row boat. After successfully rehabbing a 5hp Eska, I want to apply my new found skill set on the motor that came with the boat. It is a 60's Sea King, made by Gale, Model...
