1949 Gambles Hiawatha before and after

[gjonz]

Here is a little restoration project I finally finished.

1949 Gambles Hiawatha (OMC/Gale)5hp outboard. Had to rebuild it, repaint it, and had decals custom made.

I'm pretty happy with the end result. Now when warmer Weather comes...I'll make sure it still runs!!

Very very nice. Good for another 60 years.

Excellent job on the restore. Like always, you do nice work.

I have no doubt that it'll run, willingly.

Very nice. I have the exact same motor. I am in the process of restoring mine as well. Could you let me know where you had the decals made.
Thanks

Great Job, everything is well detailed! I think I have the same motor too, maybe older, the cast aluminum looks different. Could you help me ID the year? I would be interested in a close-up of the decals for the info on the front, Id like toView attachment 109469View attachment 109470 make some for mine after my restoration. Thanks, you do great work.
