Saving Old Seagulls

Thanks C-D, looks like it will be wet for the set-up tomorrow, but "showers easing" on Sat and clearer on Sun. I now have two volunteers for Saturday, but only one for Sunday, so if anyone wants a cheap day out, call me on Sunday morning and I can get you into the event as an 'Exhibitor'. ...

Hi, all Just a reminder that the Oz Seagull Owners will have our stand at the Sydney Classic Boat Festival at the Australian National Maritime Museum on 13-14th October 2013. Loads of classic boats, watercraft and motors - eg: US!! So if you are or can be in Sydney the weekend after next, drop in an...

I find that hard to believe...no-one else found such a problem and both John's site and mediaFire hosting are reputable sites with proper security that should not allow anyone else to 'attach' anything to the PDF file. Hope you're not suggesting either John or I had anything to do with a 'trojan'......

That's a clever looking rowlock. Where did you get them from?

Did you try measuring relative speed difference as well as rpm? Might find it's not going any faster, just revving harder...?? Generally speaking, keep swapping props (that will fit) until you find one that works, gives good thrust and/or speed and doesn't allow the motor to over-rev. From what I un...

p24 has the report on the Inaugural Tasmanian meet under heading New Norfolk..... Only two pics, but I had only three to choose from ;) Slow download time is usually due to multiple 'dowloaders' - if it happens, best to try again later. As most people around the world got the email notification at o...

LOL..!! Get 'em working, let 'em pay their own way! My young feller has to buy all his own 'crap', and I veto much of what he would buy. He'll be 18 next birthday, and is angling for the P-plates at the moment.....but the 100 hours compulsory L-time is slowing him down a bit... ...which would sugges...

Yeah, well the original Watermans and Evinrudes were called 'rowboat motors' and were designed to replace the the efforts of the oarsman... ...in other words, making it *easier* to get from point A to point B, rather than necessarily any quicker. When you had previously had to row 10 or 20 miles up ...

I've sent an email out to all the Brissie Seagullians, so we'll see who shows on the day!

A little ditty, composed in 'honour' of His Charlesness..... :) Convinced he was bound to be flailing, Against H-A and others around Hayling, In an alleged fit of sloth, Charles broke tib and fib both, To avoid accusations of baling! .....but I can think of easier and less painful ways to do so..!! ...

Just spoken to the silly old fart on the phone. He's alive. Just. :cry: :roll: No, he didn't get run down by an omnibus; no, he didn't fall out of a boat; no he wasn't doing any DIY heroics....... ....he just fell over...!!! In his OWN HOUSE....!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Apparently, two steps up the sta...

Researcyhing Seagulls on the web I come across all kinds of things..like this article in June 2010 issue of Points East, p17 http://issuu.com/pointseast/docs/june_issuu?mode=window Interestingly, the August 2012 issue Letters page has some references to Seagulls, referring back to the previous artic...
