old boat new owner
 
Picked up a 42' eagle.

Now third owner(I think)
Hull in great shape, inside has neglect.
Motors were switched to 502's a few years ago.
Do not know anything about them.
Hopefully pulling them in a few weeks.
Will take apart and get them ready for blowers.
Stripped the inside/cleaning everything else.
Generator works fine and will need to do some wiring repair.
Yes it needs work, bought it for a song.
Knew I would rebuild motors and interior.
Just hope the trs drives are fine.
Trying to stay with the budget I told my wife when I bought it,
Do not think that will happen:D
When I really get started will show photo's of the tear down and rebuild.
By spring we hope to be in water.. MAYBEE!!!

Nice ride to cruise Catalina

Yea, the guy I bought it from has madit there in 1/2 hour.
Not bad for stock 502's, weighing in over 11'000lbs fueled.
Long Beach dock to Avolon dock.
Said used 100+ gal fuel.
Wonder what Blown motors will burn?
Trying to update the boat....(looks)

Any ideas???

We need some before pics. Here's mine. Don't know who did the paint. Engines are Tyler Crockett built 500s. Interior is a little old but in really good shape.
