Bones, I just happen to know where there is a late model, 5hp, Silver Century Plus (with clutch) Seagull in good condition. It was Griselda's origonal auxillary motor and is sitting in the corner of my brother's garage. He has offered to give it to me if I just come and get it. Let me know if you are interested. Ron (whitebeard) M17 #14, Griselda Lake Livingston, Texas

Hi Joe,
The smaller inflatable kayaks are shorter than my K-1 model, so I would imagine with less wetted surface they would paddle easier and be a tad more nimble. The other kayaks I have paddled are the hard shell fiberglass/plastic models which track far better than the inflatables. I do like my K-1 for the room it offers my long legs and ability to carry some gear, plus, I can deflate her and stuff it in the cockpit. I have towed her for short distances, but Bonita would prefer to frolic through the water without a leash on! On another note, I use a foot pump with the K-1, and I can pump her up in the M17 cockpit in 5 minutes.
I'd love to own a Seagull outboard, they are classic.
Bye from Bones
