it is complete and running. the engine looks like brand new although i have an extra 1400 power tower. it came with trailer, boat, custom cover, two gel cell bats, and the 115 chrysler. its being sanded down as we speak and goin to be pretty white and blue. the interior is great as well. its a sportcraft c-eagle 20 ft

Re: my new freebie!

Is that a Wisconsin registration number on her? Might want to check for winter-type damage (water froze in bilge & cracked stringers, etc). Y'all southern boys probably aren't used to seeing that stuff.

Re: my new freebie!

yeah i took and cut inspection holes and put my fiber optic cam in there and looked. Me being from michigan originally knows about the frost bite. everywhere i looked it was all gel coated underneath everything. no delamination on the floor to stringers/bulkheads. i think its a pretty good find. Well it wasnt free..... i had to cut up the guys big sattelite dish for it
i took my special foam coreingg tool to get a look at the foam.......and its all dry no water in the core samples i took. im excited. its been in a barn. it wasnt even dirty inside the boat. i got it from a retired cop who has too mant toys he said. i said its not to many toys....its your wifey!! he agreed.

What is a "gil bracket"?

Re: my new freebie!

a gillbracket is pretty much a swim platform... it moves the outboard from the transom to the back of the swim platform. it allows you to close up the transom to prevent swamping. and also doubles as a.... well swim platform. it also is supposed to increase efficiency of the outboards performance. dont know about that but.. google gil bracket and youll see what i mean. down here the seas can be unpredictable. although im not planning any serious off shore excursions with it. its goin to be alot cheaper to run than my big boat lol! i think im goin to name it the dog house... what ya think?
