I had a seagull 33 years ago as a back up for the main 50HP Mercury but had to get rid of the lot when the kids came along, the seagull will go forever.

My dad just got rid of two last year, both long shafts. 1 with clutch and 1 without. They just went and went, they were never maintained while we used them either.

They had been sitting in the shed for about 15 years, as we got a boat with inboard engine. Even after 15 years they didnt take much starting

Great little outboards

old boy at a boat jumble he told me the seagull was used

during WW2 by the commandos and was only made to last

for one mission , some still chugging away now

Lister knew how to make a heavy engine thats for sure.

Ive worked on alot of Lister engines over the years, they really do go and go. They cant half take some abuse

My dad had one years ago, reliable as feck. Well, until my brothers mate got a set of feathers tangled round the prop one day out trolling for mackerel.. My poor dad had to row a mile back to harbour against the tide!

sold mine on a year or so back, re-discovered it in the garage after it had been sat there for years, still started easily enough though!
