Re: A Seagulls second chance

Hi Petrolist
Question for you.
I see that you have an old Wickström inboard, so there must be an interest for old antique outboards too, I guess.
But,……I see that the majority of your outboards are from the 60ties.
Why ??
You live in the land of the "thousand lakes" and I know there are a lot of very old engines to be found there, even in the neighbour country Sweden are still a lot to be found.
What about the "Archimedes" and the "Penta" models, what about the "Nopsa" outboard from Finland ?
Do you know that Finland has one of the biggest outboard museum in Europe ?
The owner is Nils ( Nisse ) Häggblom, try to keep in contact with him, make an appointment and go to see his collection.
You will be surprised by all the brands and all the old models he has in the collection.
I know when you have the first real old one in your hands , you are hooked to the beauty and old fashioned technology.
Good luck
