Hi, after renting a small speed boat whilst on holiday in Greece and really enjoying the freedom I would be interested in finding out just how affordable can a powered dinghy/rib be? Seagulls seem to be the cheapest option for an outboard, and ive seen ebay dinghys for £50-£100 that are sea worthy. Has anyone made such a vessel? And are there any laws? It wuld be lovely to have a little recreational boat for the summer time at the sea side. Cheers for any advice. :) and happy sailing

ahhhhh the sweet buzz of a 2 stroke engine........ :)

is that up the Hamble?

Change it to run at 25:1, by changing the carb needle. I did my Featherweight 40 this Spring.

could be a leaky head gasket they're a notoriously bad fit, can either fit a new one + some instant gasket to make a seal or get the head & block honed

Yes i have the problem, but it runs fine and i wont worry about it :)

Who possibly could ask for more...
This engine was built for British Commando, it designed to operate in very extrime situation with less care

The engine was built to run forever . Exceptions include : rust from inside the fuel tank blocks the pipe. The fuel pipe falls off because the nut is loose because the rust had to be emptied out of the pipe. The engine stops because the rust in the cylinder head stops the engine from cooling properly. The engine stops because it has run out of petrol because the fuel pipe fell off .

Great little motor I am currently restoring a Century 100 an a 40+ and hope to have them both on YouTube. How many knots were doing? Looks like you were really moving for a Seagull.
