102 Plus Long Shaft Wanted in Ireland
Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2020 12:54 pm
Happy New Year to everyone.
At the end of last year my better half persuaded me to part with my collection of outboards. They ranged from a 1969 Chrysler 9.9 to an 80s Yamaha 8 and included two seagulls and a box of spares from several other seagulls. They all (6 in total) went to the Malahide Sea Scouts just north of Dubln. Hopefully some of them will get the bug / disease of fixing old outboards.
My plan is to buy a modern -new even!- out board to push my self made 17ft clicker open fishing boat.
However, I am after a second engine as a backup.
It needs to be long shaft and I have decided a 102 plus is the one.
I will do a full restore on it, so that it not only looks fabulous but it will run when needed.
The catch is that I live in Ireland. I can collect it from anywhere but the cost of shipping from the UK is prohibitive.
Does anyone know of one for sale?
Thank you.
PS I have been offered a 102 long shaft, not the plus. What are the differences?
