in post 140 (the picture of the car) there appears to be a handle bar of a motorcycle or something in the lower right side of that picture? is there maybe a gentry motorcycle in that storage container ? very cool stuff! some of that should be in a museum, simply awsome stuff!

Hi guys, well the model is finally going back home this week. I took some new higher resolution photos of it today before we boxed her up. Its such a cool piece. Ron Jones is so happy to have her back and I'm so glad that we found her for him.

Not sure it's still available but the Eagle is or was for sale after a massive renovation.
http://www.gentryeagle.com/page2.html Gentry's Eagle was 114' and had 11,500 HP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep in mind these are two different time frames and years of technology later. Not a Gentry boat but another, How to melt your credit card yacht. This one is 140' / 20,000 HP W/ Twin Diesel / Twin Turbine 70 + MPH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAVfM3j8ZNg On a side note, too bad that impala isn't a rag. I'm looking for one. |
Thanks Shaun looking forward to coming up a checking it all out. Hopefully you have what I need for this project. Its the 46 Scarab Gentry turbo Eagle What a monster this thing is massive it needs three motors just to get on plane. But it should be a lot of fun !

I thought so also but I don't know what boat Sonny has but I have the the 46 Scarab the Don Johnson raced in the 1988!World Championship

Very cool, that sounds like an awsome project........and to get some origional Gentry stuff from the container is just a dream come true! Is the boat at your shop in CA?
|
Yes we have started to repair the transom and stringers that were cut trying to fit the Seatek diesels and homemade surface drives that were never finished. We have purchased 3 sets of drives and gimbals original wet sump VI s. Now we are hoping that we can get our hands on 3 or 4 of the Gentry engines in the containers . WE are hoping to find some fuel injected models that we can update with modern computers for reliability .
