Good grief...I had a new Evinrude Ducktwin around that time, and would
see an occasional Seagull on a sailboat at the marina. Even then, the
Evinrude looked 100 years more advanced than the Seagull...Has yours
been in your family that long?

Bought the used motor on July 08 1995 from the local dealer who operated
from his house basement. I still have the receipt.
This guy was Mr. Santa Clause around here during the 1950's & 60's. I can
still remember the Christmas pledge we would recite each week up til the big
day. Bill would be on the local CBC station...the only station here until
1961. I guess he had a captive audience.

I did have the same model motor (could be the same one for all I know) on my
17' Siren sailboat in 1984/85.
The Sandpiper I have now came with a 1986 6hp Evinrude Yachtwin long shaft.
