Saving Old Seagulls

Hi guys,

I am advertising on behalf of a friend who for health reasons has decided to part with his collection of Vintage Outboards. Bob has more than 70 available for sale at the moment. Many in original condition, some semi-restored, some fully restored, mostly running. The collection is for sale as a bulk lot, or you can take your pick and buy individually. Asking prices are very fair, and Bob is happy to negotiate further if need be.

Here's a summary list.

If you’re interested in any of the above, please don’t hesitate to give Bob a call on (02) 4392 3790. Bob is located at Gorokan NSW, approx 1 hour north of Sydney.

Regards,

Just received a call from a very happy Bob. All Seagulls and approx 5 or 6 crates parts now sold!

Unfortunately they were not taken by any of the members here, but by a guy who did stumble on this advert when performing a google search.

If any of the other outboards listed here are of interest to you, my advice is move quickly.

Unfortunately it's a case of you snooze, you lose.

Regards,

Just another quick update for the members here.

Take up has been a little slower than I first anticipated but they're moving none the less. Gone in recent weeks;

1 x Riptide Fisherman
1 x 3hp Air-cooled Waterboy
1 x Victajet
2 x Victa Boat Impellors
2 x Tas
1 x Kirby
1 x Simplex
1 x Mariner

Along with those went several incomplete outboards and a few more spare parts, brochures, manuals etc

Good on you to those on here that purchased a few and helped Bob to continue the clearing process. His health is not the best at the moment so every dollar helps.

Regards,

Ooops, and 1 x Neptune Mighty Mite also gone.

Does anyone know the best way to get a motor shipped from Australia to the UK?

Thanks
Rene

Getting it packed in a crate and shipped over is the most cost effective way, (use pack & send Aus) or you could get them crated and flown over, at more cost to yourself.

http://m.packsend.com.au

Pack & send have a great reputation and I have used them before with no problems, they have a new way of packing were you give them the item and they wrap it up and use a spray on foam (or something like that) to create a custom "crate" for it, and when it arrives at the destination, it just splits apart with no damage done to the item.

Good luck!

Thank You very much for that info.

1 x Britannia Swordfish and 1 x Triton on reserve for a collector in Melbourne.

Shouldn't take much to work out who bought them

Rene (JERSEYMAN), any further interest?
