Seebold Eagle Restoration
Anyone want to see and follow the restoration on my Eagle 4 seater and give there opinion's on each step? It looks like the transom is shot so I guess it is going to get split in half, let me know if you want to see pics of this in progress and I will post new ones everyday of the resto and we can talk different ideas on how to fix each problem " i am curious to hear all the different ways guys do things"

ok some idiot put bondo all over it and i have to sand it all off...wow
but the up side to it is that 90% of the stress cracks are gone, also there is 3 coats of blue and 2 coats of whit coming off.
any ideas on if i have to keep the foam or can it go and if it goes do i need to put a bulkhead or 2 up front? I think it will be fine with out the foam the way it is so what do you guys think about just removing the foam?

Transom cracked on the outside outer layer but the rest looks solid, think i will seperate cap and just put a new transom in it, any ideas? looks like 1/4 wood
Did your have this step in the center pod?

If the foam is wet get rid of it. This isn't the lightest hull out there to begin with, and it doesn't need any more bulkheads.

I loved it. Mine was a beater with an OMC on it. 4" setback. Shooter ran good, but so did a 29 SRX and a 32 Ron Hill cleaver. Call Bill Seebold, he's more that happy too help you with your setup. He told me they had Tim's running like 116-118.
The only reason I got rid of mine was when I bought the Mirage to go racing I was still married. At the time I didn't realize I got rid of the wrong part of that equation
