Hello i'm new to this forum. I just purchased this boat a few days ago. Try'n to research for some info, Can anyone help me out. I'm a first time boat owner. i have a 1967 Sears / Gale Sovereign. I'm not sure what im getting into. The boat has been sitting for about 17years. The person i purchased the boat from said it was running then before it was winterised 17yrs ago. I have been wanting an old boat to fix up and this one is the ideal thing I Think.......lol Can someone point me in the right direction on where to find parts and/or any info about this boat

It may be a little older than 67 for one thing ( 1962 comes to mind ) ------------at any rate the basic motor is a Johnson / Evinrude and parts are readily available from most good repair shops and even BRP dealers.----------NAPA / and this site have many of the parts as well.
 
Post the model and serial numbers and We can get the age for You.
That will be a sharp looking motor when it all cleaned and polished.
Good Luck with it.

They marketed a 5 , 15 , 25 , 40 and a V-4 60 HP----------------25 and 40 both were available with electric start.-----I am pretty sure the motor in the pictures is a 40 HP.
