Average Age Of Seagull Ownership???
Hello All,
Just a bit of fun, there are quite a few of you guys on the forum but has anyone ever wondered the average age of Seagull owners?
Is young blood coming into this wonderful hobby Or has Xbox taken over completely?
Are there some real old timers out there? Great if there is
Time For A Poll

Thanks Keith, you knew I hadn't answered as there were no ticks in the under 35 box.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

i've let my youngest "take over" 2 of my gulls so by the looks he is one of the 4 per cent population. (at the moment)
i dont think you need to know how old i am (or do you?)
45 if you need to know!

And the seams to have always been a 102 somewhere around in my life. Its just now it has friends.

My first Seagull experience was when I was about 13 or 14, it was an auxiliary on my fathers little fishing boat, I loved using it until one day... It was stolen, only the bolt on bracket remained. My father owned several other Seagulls over the years which I "borrowed" occasionally, It was not until about ten years ago that I actually got to own one, went to a boat jumble and saw a trailer full of decredip old seagulls, mostly seized, I cannot really remember the price but it was not much and that got me on the road to their use and restoration, I am now 44.

My seagull experience began as a sea scout in the mid 1970s. We had several engines which when fitted to our rowing boats took us off camping to Barton Island near Nottingham on the Trent and to Kegworth on the River Soar. Looking back I recall the angled tank on a FVP, and the bent over thumbscrews on an early 102. We also had longshaft silver centuries. Luckily I found one of the petrol tanks recently with a sticker of "Sawley Bridge Marina" A real relic from my past
More recently I got into seagull ownership and rebuilding about 4 years ago. To date I've rebuilt 3 SDs, 1 FV, 1 FVP, 1SJM, 1 AC plus 1 THC. Loved them all, and I hope others have enjoyed the posts and pictures. I now have my Dads FP, plus a ON to look at. So the Seagull fetish will continue for some time to come. I've just turned 50! The good news is my 2 year old grandson loves going into my garage, so he is being weaned on seagulls and my Triumph

I will be 69 in January, got my first Seagull a 40+ about 2002. Started collecting Seagulls in 2007, and North American outboards as well. Seagulls now make up about 25% of the collection and number about 10 not including parts motors.
The others are from 1914 - to the mid-sixties. Not Seagulls.
I've become disabled recently so now I'm at the point of trying to wind it all down.
