Thats a very interesting boat in your video. But it looks also much older then our boat. And it has frames, our boat has the cicular tube and its seamed/ crimped.

I made a little video for you, maybe it`s interesting...

And i have a new Gull since August, a 1962 102plus. It`s not in a good, but also not in a bad condition. I bought it in the netherlands for a good price, in germany you wouldn`t find junk for that money. :?
It was not running for about five years, until i got it. But after the first pull... It`s a Seagull. 8) And it has some missing/ not original parts, i will replace the next time.
I tested it for about 20 minutes, but it had some backfire and dropped fuel. And the shifter is broken and a part is missing. Maybe i`ll find another one, or i`ll have to weld it.

Can someone tell me, how the ignition works and what i need for setting and checking it? I didn`t inspect it yet. And at my century, it was working fine, cince i own it...

But now let`s have a look:

What a pretty black head:

I like that monster prop:

I really like this engine. I don`t want to have it better a a new one, i want it as a good running engine for every day, but the next time i want to do some things to make it a little more good looking.
