British outboards avalable in the early 60's

Post by Keith.P »

I like to collect the odd vintage manual and books on outboard engines and related subjects, I have all I need and more for my CV, back to 1937, Seebee and seabee minor, evinrude lightwin, seagull parts books, most of us have them and an original and complete 102,102 plus paperwork in its envelope and a Lodge 1955 spark plug book, an interesting read and seeing all the unknown (to me anyway) outboards around up unto 1955.
Also some unrelated Danarm and Turner R2&R3 manuals.
Anyway another book turned up today to add to my collection, more of a general boat/outboard book from the early 60's. (before my time, just)
A kind of every thing you need to know about boats and motors without getting wet book.
It is interesting to see what British outboards were available in the early 60's.

Listing the makes and models, to see what you remember.

Atco. boat boatimpeller. AB
Bermuda. B.R.D. skeeman, workman.
Anzani. Pilot, Seamaid, Supersingle, Seasprite, Unitwin, Magnatwin, Fleettwin, Competition motor.
British Seagull. Forty minus/plus, century & plus.

I'll add the Mallard and of course the Britannia Swordfish. Plus the Ferrier fisherman.What was the Anzani that was two super singles side by side to make a twin?

Sport Twin which ceased production when the much faster class A & B racer replaced it in 58.

Keith's book only contains non racing motors that were available new in 62.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Its just a basic list, other models and other motors may well have been available at the time, that sounds like a disclaimer.
