Saving Old Seagulls

Breed them tough in NZ

Be nice to see the pom proven wrong. I can load my long boat up with four people and spare out board etc, camping gear for three plus a couple of chilly bins, and boat still goes 8 knts. It is very important to put the weight in the right place. Displacement hulls are easily driven if weight is dist...

A bit dear at $185. I have seen four of these now.

I only use it to seal the exhaust to the gearbox.

His head is big enough now dont encourage him.

Hey Bruce if you build a good 102 I can supply a twenty footer that you can use to do Waikato river race if you like.

If you treat the Ply with everdure it is all good. Cracking is not an issue. Also good quality ply helps a lot. Well worth the effort.

Try a Flint, good little boat for a seagull and very easy to row

If you use two stroke oil make sure it is outboard type as it burns at lower temperatures. Some two stroke oils need a higher temperature than a seagull runs at, so it burns.

The pom is very quiet now. In the black book are we.

A seagull on a rubber duck seems so wrong better getting a small honda or merc, would suit it better. Seagulls belong on wooden boats

Stunning HOT weather 26degrees, sunburnt brown as, great weekend. 2 days of bliss on the lake. And I broke a few bits. Also seagulls dont like to much compression.

I set my ring gaps to 4 thou, over 8 thou and I consider new rings. You may find a lack of compression or back firing thou carb being a few of the problems you will have if ring gaps to big. I would be very wary of the Italians manual has a few mistakes in it. Not all bad.

Mrford you should come down to NZ and run the mighty Waikato with us mad kiwis and see what seagull racing is all about.
