Century 100 (LLS)
(Based on a 1960's brochure)
This all-purpose engine has plenty of guts, is light in weight, quiet, very economical, docile enough for a 10-ft. dinghy, yet quite capable of towing half a dozen dinghies home against the ebb, plus any more that can get a line aboard!!
As an auxiliary it's quite unmatched, and like all Seagulls it is designed for real work, all day and day after day, with the minimum of attention and service.
Drive displacement hulls to 21', excellent towing power, large inflatables.
