This is classic, I can't think of a better way for an old Seagul Outboard to end it's days.
There's a healthy seagull racing circuit running over here.
The main race is the Waikato (New Zealand) river event 88Nm down the river.
The top guys in the super modified open class are doing over 25 knots in pretty high-tec boats ... with a Seagul outboard!
"4.5hp Modified Class: any hull, minimum length 10 ft, classic seagull must have seagull block (no liner), crankcase, flywheel, head, carburettor. Leg from other outboard allowed, reed valves allowed, tuned pipes allowed, cavitation plate and prop modifications allowed, engines are 102, century, and silver century or two 2.5hp 64cc seagulls, oversize piston allowed, gearbox nose cones allowed in the modified class only. Two records, one with tuned pipe & one without."
