This is per Jim Agles: I was a Seebold boat dealer from 1985 till they quite manufacturing offshore boats around early 90's. Bill Sr. who founded the company and later changed the name to Eagle by Seebold which was still the same company. He later sold the molds to Emerson in TX in mid to late 90's. Emerson built one 32 which was previously called the Golden Eagle with small blocks in it and never performed well and the only one built by them to my knowledge. The original Eagle Boat company owned by Bill Sr. built a 21' open and closed bow, a 24' i.e. 236 which indicates by the photo of what you have with big block and a Bravo I drive. He also did a couple of open bow versions of that boat. Also built a 265 available with single big block, twin small and twin big blocks. The largest he built was a 32' Golden Eagle available with big blocks and Bravo drives which i believe about 6 were made. Tim still has one at Lake Ozarks and was in charge of manufacturing at Eagle by Seebold. I sold and modified many of all of the models in the midwest, particulary Peoria, IL and Lake Ozaraks, MO. Had a couple single engine 265s with 550 hp motors that ran in the upper 80s. Had a 265 with Merc. 454-365 hp mags just tuning and propping 92 mph boat. Sold the first 32' Golden Eagle that Seebold built, the proto-type, to Phil McCombs in Peoria IL. Seebold built me a custom 32' Golden Eagle - "FunAgler" I put GM crate motors 454-450's, changed cams, Gill exhaust, Bravo I drives, 93 mph. As you can tell, I was proud to be a Seebold dealer and think they were a very high quality boat and fast for their time. Bill Sr. was the first manufacturer to develope the Delta pad and to step a boat. He stepped the outside chine on a couple of 265's for testing. Worked well but back then people were afraid of a fast, loose boat. From looking at your picture, get the bottom paint off the boat, put some power in it and hang on!
