Gale Manufactured Outboard Motors were produced from 1941-1963

Other Gale Manufactured Outboard Brands
In 1945 after the war, Gale organized a wholesale division and continued manufacturing focus on outboard motors for department, hardware and tire store chains. These outboards were labeled with brands by the selling companies, including:
- AMC Corp. "Saber" 1955-1956
- Atlas Suppy Co. "Royal"1947-1956
- BF Goodrich "SeaFlyer" 1951-1952
- Fedway Dept. Stores "Saber" 1953

- Spiegel "Brooklure" 1950-1958
- T Eaton Co. "Viking" 1933-1942
- Western Auto "Western Flyer" 1941-1942
Gale products were so successful that in 1948 they sold over 100,000 outboard motors, (more than all other manufacturers including Mercury, Johnson and Evinrude). Starting in 1949, Gale began to offer outboards under their own brand name initially called Buccaneer and later just labeled Gale.

Gale outboard models produced ranged in size from 1-1/2 horsepower up to a V4 60 hp and were generally a few horsepower less then Johnson and Evinrude, ie. Gale 12hp - Johnson 15hp. After 1963, OMC dropped all Gale outboard production in order to concentrate on their Johnson and Evinrude outboard brands.
