Ron is a great guy...as you say, very co-operative. Both of my small Seagulls came from him. I got to know him as a bookseller...got my Clymers and other sailing books from him. He mentioned a Seagull dealer that wanted to sell out, and we discussed it..he said that it would be a good retirement business for me, but I didn't have the spare $12K that Don wanted for the shop, so I eventually talked Ron into buying it. We've kept in touch over the years. What's the complete serial number of your motor ??
