Saving Old Seagulls

Hi M, great find in really good condition for its age I have one the same year and am in the process of restoring hopefully to the condition of what you have found in your shed. I paid $150 AUS for mine but looks very neglected. You can see in the pic, the chrome is shot, cable up the creek and fuel...

Hi this is the tank on my 1956 SJP 3462 Was this a sole QLD AUS distributer of seagulls or oils? Remember I'm fairly new to the seagull.

If he wa...

Whoops electric wasn't in that last post( wrong photo ) This is the 1956 model ( found out thanks to SOS) SJP 40 + only had it for 2 weeks. Have run it in a tank pumps water and leaks heaps of fuel from a dodgy fuel tap but I can live with that for now. Hope to get a chance to put it on the tinny th...

Your a champion! Thanks for the tech advice I think my computer is steam powered as every thing takes so long to happen. First pic is the 1958 100 minus the box and the 1977 40 Plus that I use regularly and the electric I use on the kayak cause I'm to lazy to paddle but we won't talk about that. If ...
