Re: How many Seagulls have you got?
Good question as to my fav!
Not counting my toy internal combustions it is a real splt between my 1976 Featherweight and a 1950s Australian Seasprite 3.3Hp. I can not explain why, just how I feel when playing with them I guess.
I love them all (Mostly), couple of exceptions that are more, just, different hence intriguing and one must simply have to have one in any collection...........anyway
Those two, equal split!
One is god save the queen and the other is................... the queen is stuffed so use australian in the meantime untill She sobers up.
Just a thort, why not run the poll just a bit longer?

Re: How many Seagulls have you got?
Ok Collector, i think i have changed the poll to never ending now?
I say think as i've never created a poll before. Personnally i have found it quite enlightening.
I also have another idea of a following poll... I'll save that one till a later date, unless i forget.

Re: How many Seagulls have you got?
Nuts To Polls..................I tried counting others obviously. Then, later, sleepless night. Gull count for me is OK but, just the rest.
I went to a shed that has not been openned in, say, two years. I found out that I have very interesting STUFF!
Anyway......
Right at the back were maybe 15 Muncies, small to rather large, have no idea where i got them from except for all of them from the States.
One had a condensor taped to its tiller with a note, From Me, To Me................"Needs This" it said.

Re: How many Seagulls have you got?
Nice motors, reminds me of the little Elto's, I do have an Elto twin thing about with the seaking logo on.
Don't know a lot about It, other than its a 1946 motor and it needs parts that I can not got hold of.

You Poms are amateurs.
Us colonists in the fabled 'Great Southern Continent' can show you a thing or two
We've got an old timer in the North Island with well over 400 (four hundred) Seagulls at the last count & still increasing.
And he's only one of the people that we know about.
In fact, that explains why you Poms branded some of us criminals & nutters, then sent us to the furthest point on the planet. Ha Ha Ha

I do think that's a little over the top, don't you.In fact, that explains why you Poms branded some of us criminals & nutters.
"The Poms branded some of us criminals & nutters", I wouldn't say that, but you could try convicts, it has a better ring to it.

Yes, I'm often over the top. I use it to generate reaction.
Are you suggesting I'm not a nutter? LOL
Or,
Are you suggesting modifying a classic seagull outboard is not a criminal act? LOL
