I need a small outboard for my dinghy. I only expect to use it occasionally to get to my moored boat - at other times I'll use the club trot boat - so I don't want to fork out £500 for a new 2.5hp four-stroke.
I see working Seagulls often go for less than £70 on internet auction sites, or I could get a professionally refurbished one for around £200.
I think I would be better off with a short-shaft 40 Plus model - the 40 minus seems to be paired down and less powerful for the same price so I may as well have that extra single horsepower.
Any reasons not to?
