Description

The Seagull was built by Muncie Gear Works in the 1930s for a long-forgotten outfit called National Outboard Motor Company of Marshall, Michigan. Essentially it was a badge-engineered version of Muncie’s Neptune outboards. It’s unclear where National retailed the motors or if Muncie had a stake in the venture, as the literature/flyer is identical to Muncie’s except for the name change.
