===============================
I used a Seagull for years when have my
boat in a
mooring, used daily to get to the
boat and back ashore. Like you stated, reliable and light to carry.
Take it out of the dinghy and to the trunk in the car.
The particular unit pictures from the OP show signs of early rust, more likely not well-kept.
Not sure will buy it.
There are units in much better shape.
Agree they are outdated, however always regretted selling mine.
Nothing wrong, if you like these kinds of old motors.
Currently, have a 2 hp
Honda outboard and I curse it every time I used it.
