While I can understand some points of view that motors in general are evil the reality of the situation is that an outboard motor makes long distances on the water safer and more accessible. An outboard motor that is working and is dependable is a critical safety factor on the water. If you are hurt in a car accident you want the biggest ambulance with the most powerful motor money can buy to get you to the hospital. My point is that motors have their place in society and those that say they don't are simply being unreasonable. All seagulls are designed to be recyclable as parts are interchangeable and built to last.
Seagulls are small displacement motors but are designed specially to move heavier hulls.
This is not a throw away motor. We still provide parts and service for motors that are several decades old. We can and still order replacement parts from our supplier in England. Seagulls are designed to move displacement hulls -lots of torque at low rpms. All seagulls work on leaded or unleaded fuel.
