Saving Old Seagulls

Hi,

Just wanted to say hi to all the other Seagull enthusiasts out there. I am from the USA and will be getting my 1st Seagull tomorrow.

Hello, you are at the right place

So far I have figured out it is a 1968 40+!

First of many perhaps. Apologees for the lack of response. Most of forum in hibernation (or watching repeats of Neighbours ) me thinks. Reminds me of last time I was in England. I was sitting in Pub trying to have a chat with other patrons to no avail, the barmaid said to me "don't worry luv, they won't talk to foreigners".

I live in the UK and have had the same response, I have a small collection of engines and outboards and most people don’t know the difference between a con rod and a crank and just aren’t interested, you just get a blank expression.
As far as I am concerned, if I didn’t collect the engines and outboards, ok they may not be the most expensive in the world, they would have only have gone for scrap and that’s not good, I know that you can’t save everything, I started my collection will a £10 FVP, that I do use in the summer and she runs well all day, one of the best running and trouble free engines I have, so I will never knock seagulls.
Hope you get plenty of use out of your Gull and hope you find many more.

Nice avatar man!

hi
i bought a new silver century in malaysia in 1974, gave it in a house sale as a "sweetener" in 1986, and received it back as a gift a couple of months ago!! [ws1466aa4] you wouldn't believe it but it has had a pup already!! [wpcl1526j2]. the ws is as delivered from the factory but has done about 5 hours work and not cleaned after use so is not pristine. lived in the back of a cupboard for the last 16 years without use. i really must get to it and get it back on the water! the wpcl has no fuel tap at the moment and is average condition.
