A few pics of the Brooklure 500 I've been working on the last few moths.

Sweet! Have you had it on the boat yet?

Yup - first got it running. Needed new coils, points, wires and carb clean. Tried it out and it runs fine. So then I stripped it down and refinished it. So she should be ready to go in the Spring. My wife says it looks too good to use it. But, hey - that's what they're for. Maybe in another 50 years someone can restore it again

lindy46,

what is the difference (besides the name/color) and a Gale of the same year? - it looks like a twin of my old '59 Buccaneer.

NICE restoration, too.

yours, PG

Same - they were made in the Gale factory as far as I know.
