After the second World War, friends Charlie
Tull and Gil Nicholls registered the SEACRAFT Manufacturing Company and the EZY-CUT
Tool Company. They built two houses (with sheds) side by side at Eveline Avenue
Parkdale and proceeded to design and manufacture various EZY-CUT power tool
products. They also built plywood yachts there and were keen sailors.
In 1952 they built a factory at White
Street Mordialloc. Charlie and Gil continued to produce power tools, small
plywood dinghies and outboard motors (Seacraft Tornado) to compliment the dinghies.
Sales of the power tool products were mainly through the larger hardware
stores, with Gil’s son Jack involved in marketing of the products directly to stores.
In 1955 another factory was built at 3 Wells
Road Mordialloc. Charlie continued there designing and developing SEACRAFT
boats for the remainder of his working life. His Ski Boats remain highly desirable
to this day. Gil continued at EZY-CUT. 
Image below shows one of very few 'outboard powered' Seacraft runabouts ever made. It may in fact be the only one!. The outboard installed is a 7.5hp Riptide Sportsman.
