Default WOW!!! Check This out...

I'm no historian, but this boat surely has a great story to tell...

50' Gentry Eagle on Ebay

I'd love to pick this up, but I'm afraid my wife would dissembowel me shortly before she divoced me!

What an amazing piece of engineering.

Anyone know much about this bad boy?

You need to have the original drives since they were designed for the boat. This thing needs to have a 500k restoration job. Might be better to buy a used MTI or Skater for the $. Just my $ .02.

Those pictures are pretty generous. Took these about 2 months ago.

It's a damn shame to think how someone can let something as important as that get that bad! Seriously, how can you neglect something like that, surely it's a case of 'If you love something, let it go.'

I hope it sells to someone who can do her justice!
Bloke reckons he has a line on the engines but doesn't mention where the drives went. Anyone know?
