    post a decade later: a silver century plus

    .
    .
    Ebb has an unused (I must have started it up one time!)

    off the shelf, new, but parked inside in shop corners over the

    decades. Bought it in the UK and had it shipped over,

    in the '70s. Anyway, all these years -- time for a new owner...



    According to Wikipedia, Chillington Marine is defunct, but there
    is a conservator keeping the name and spare parts alive.
    Sheridan Marine http://www.britishseagull.co.uk/index.php

    Letter code WSPCL--384M2. Weight, 50lbs. (old bath scale)
    Clamp to non-cavitation plate above prop 23.25". Picture of a
    1974 model: http://britishseagullparts.com/outboards/silver.htm

    Seagulls are designed to push displacement hulls, The SCP is
    a perfect match for the 26' A/C. When cleaned up, mine will
    look new like the one in the photo. No stains, no chips in the
    painted gas can. Brilliant piece of history, classic touch for
    your restored Commander or Ariel.

    Two stroke engines can be run anywhere two strokes are not
    strictly forbidden, like fresh water lakes.

    willie's photo above does look like a Silver Century. But we need
    the letter code on the other side to identify the individual motor.
