Buccaneer 3.

[Barry Willis]

Came across this old relic and manuals yesterday on the internet for free, I couldn't resist it. Thought it would be fun to tinker around with and get it running.

I hazard to guess how many decades it's been since it ran. The old Gal, in her 80's I expect, said her late husband had an outboard repair shop in Ottawa. They decided to move to Calgary and he was so fond of this little motor he brought it out with them.  I wish it was in better condition but the price was right. The Evinrude manual is over two inches thick. 

1958 Gale Buccaneer 3, almost as old as I am and just like me, not much to look at Hahaha.

Come on Barry, given the middle colour, the motor is in "Mint" condition!

[Barry Willis]

Yes I do like the middle. I wish the rest was as nice.  I have a 1955 16 HP Scott - Atwater in very nice condition I used to have it on a small two seater speed boat, and it went, and a 5 HP Sears, can't remember the year also in very nice condition as well as a few others from the late 60's up until the late 70's, and they all runs like a top.

I think the Sears outboards were Ted Williams.

[Barry Willis]

Yes, at one time they were. There were actually several other companies who made them back in the day.
