Saving Old Seagulls

Just wondering...I know how I found it. Wikipedia! Yep. Johnny is listed as an 'external source', and I lucked into a veritable mine of information. Luckily, no pickaxes or hardhats with lanterns attached are needed. It's not that kind of mine. Really.
(Incidentally...if your answer is, "Oh, I was looking for more information on how to get a long shaft to replace my short one..., please. Make something up. Nobody wants to hear about that. )

Originally found SOS after a mate gave me a WPCL he'd retrieved from the bottom of Poole Harbour.

I have made a number of good friends on this site, and what's better, learned a tremendous amount.

I honestly believe that if you can't get an answer here, then the answer most likely doesn't exist.

I bought a Forty Plus off ebay as a kicker for my daughters Island 17 and found Johns site via Google...

Ive ended up with 6 gulls now for various boats and tenders....

It started up with a Century 100, the old outboard of our neighbour which I got for free because she moved home to a dry place. It had not run for at least 15 years but started at first pull after cleaning tank, carb etc. Before this Seagull I used Evinrude, Tomos, Johnson and Mercury.
Now I only have Seagulls (4). Before I had a Seagull, I rowed a lot....

Trying to find some info on the net, I came on this perfect site!

by word of mouth from another gull owner

yahoo search...

By buying a 102 on ebay that didn't go - google search and lots of help and advice from John as well as some parts and it was a runner! Thanks John - then a Siver century not run for 10 years and help from Vic on this forum and its a runner
Whatever would we do without SOS!
Thanks to John, Vic and everyone !

From the Eventides website I think, but dont ask me why I was on the Eventide site!
