If you would like me to put a picture of your engine on this page please click here. Your motor doesn't have to have twin turbos or air conditioning, I just want pictures of your engine in any condition.
If you click on the pictures a higher resolution version in a new window will appear as if by magic, they will take a time to load though as some are quite big.
These 2 are SD160 Seagull inboards. The better looking one is going through a restoration and the dirty looking one is being a donor. The donor was sitting in a boat half submerged and the only salvagable part was the exhaust really. The inboards never did very well, this particular model used the ill fated model 170 power head too which really didn't help it at all, they suffered from corrosion badly even when fitted with a sacrificial anode. My thanks to Colin for the pictures.
This is Richards Model 102. Note the later amal 400 series carb that is fitted. I have recommended that Richard change it for the original amal 2 jet. But doesn't the engine look great and she is almost 60 years old !
This is another of Christians lovingly restored gulls, this is a July 1976 GFP forty plus. It was originally fitted with a steel tank which Chris has replaced with a brass one. I don't like the steel ones either !
Devons gorgeous Model 170. This is currently on Ebay Australia. If you are interested in owning it, contact me here and I will pass your details on.
This is Devons restored model 125, it is currently on auction on ebay Australia, If you are interested in owning this lovely motor contact me here and I will pass on your details.
Another of Devons restored motors, this one is a silver century. Nice huh ?
This is Steves 1965 century 100 longshaft that he has restored to a high standard. Note the use of the villiers carb which was used for a short time on the larger models.
I found this engine while browsing ebay.co.uk. It has got to be one of the best looking seagulls I have seen on ebay for quite some time. The Seller has owned it from 1978 when he bought it new for £145.13. The seller only had it operating for 6 hours and apart from starting it up once in 26 years it has been stored in his garage. It just goes to prove that using sensible storage techniques and a light wipe with an oily rag you can store these engines easily for many years.
This is Charles Palfreemans ESCL. This is a late model 75, note the different bracket with the built in carry handle. This motor will shortly be on an 18 foot clincker built boat in Majorca.
This is Bretts from Austrailias every growing collection which he keeps under his house. The single engine pictured is a "little Forty" code FV. He also has an "Olympic" which is a Seagull engineered outboard available in Austrailia with a slightly different tank and flywheel.
This is Waynes Forty plus. Note the transom which Wayne has extended as he was having trouble with the engine because it was too deep in the water.
These Engines belong to Mark Newby. They are part of his collection of vintage and collectable outboards. The gold and white engine is a Seabee which are a speciality of Marks and he is a bit of an expert on them. The long engine with the yellow, orange power head is an Atco Boat Impellor, this is used slightly differently to a conventional outboard as the long leg extends from the rear of the boat at an angle rather than straight down. The other non-seagull engine is a Mallard. Mark is on the chat nearly every night from 9pm.
These are a few of the pictures Myles Friis-Smith has sent me. They have been renovated to an extremely high standard and are almost too good to use ! I also have another 5 pictures or so and will add these at a later date. Attention to detail is the key here, note the chrome plated flywheel nuts !
This is a motor I picked up on ebay in July 2004 and I apologise to Brian for outbidding him ! It is a Siver Century Plus with a clutch (SPC) and was born in 1967. Although it has the wipac flywheel top it is in fact a villiers and it also has a very strange homebrew fuel tank modification. From what I can see it is simply another fuel tank mounted on an aluminium plate behind the existing tank. The fuel pipe arrangement is fairly crude looking but does work. You an have either tank in operation or both at the same time. It begs the question, why didn't the guy just buy the large steel longrange tank ? Anyway, I am not 100% sure what to do with this yet but I am sure it will get renovated at some stage, watch this space !
