I remember its transatlantic run...was in all the papers and magazines of the day...truly incredible. Mr. Gentry was an incredibly talented and driven man.

Here’s a pretty cool 6 min video or it running etc. What an incredible man and life he must have had. If he were still alive the money it would take to revive the Gentry Eagle would be chunk change.

I think he meant currently, after it has sat neglected in the water after 20 or so years with 20 tons of mildew inside probably.
Not photos of the day it was finished posted in a sale ad to sell it.

I'd like to have the 20 years worth of docking fees.

The bottom looks to clean for 20 years in the saltwater and the sacrificial anode on the surface drive rudder looks close to new.
EDIT
Or it was just pressure washed.

Was on the boat about a month ago its too far gone for repair been setting for 25 years when i was there you counldn't tell there was an areson drive on the boat it was covered with barnicals and bird ****. It was still in the water at that time. It was a very sad day for me i was there with a gentelman that was interested in bringing her back to life but was too far gone. Last i talked to norman gentry was that is was going to get scraped. I was lucky enough to have gotten a ride on it back just befor tom had his accident.

wow, 11,500 hp! 1 4500 hp turbine and 2 3500 hp diesels!

It seems the plan is to float her down to Long Beach in a week. Bought by the Weier family in Pasadena, who's got a product placement company on the stock exchange in Canada since 6 months back. This can't be good for future annual reports.

Lars, are with the FBI or something, the information you can gather is a bit scary!
I can't even imagine the work or the cost to get that boat back into pristine condition.
