Thanks for your time

hello everyone ,from what I have read here you all seem quite experienced and thought this would be a great place to look for help.
I just bought a 15' fiberglass v hull fishing boat w/livewell,ped seats,front mnt troll mtr,nissan 70 hp 2 stroke o.b., boat'87 ,o.b '86.I paid $1900 w/galv.trailer.
Seller gave me fish finder,in/out carpet(wich I have redone the interior)boat cover and 2 batts.
I have not been able to find any info on the maker of my boat.
It's an eagle 351 does anyone have info on this make of boat?

Also do you think I made a good purchace?
I have brought it out three times now and love it,it plains out well and goes pretty good makes big difference adjusting trim to get top speed going,but the last time I took it out the down trim would't work(until I pulled it out and had it on the trailer)re-made all electrical connections on the trim solenoids and seems to work fine now,do these ever have intermitent problems or should I just get new solenoids?
Also I have seen oil in the bottom of motor cover(does not look like anymore than what was there when I first noticed it)is it a sign of something wrong?

Ayuh,....... Breaking up your post, makes it Much Easier to Read,.....
Don't you Think,..??......

Yes,.... It sounds like you got a fair deal,.....
No,..... I've never heard of your brand,+ model,..... I'm sure somebody around here has though.....
I'd try just Cleaning the wiring, rather than replacing good parts......
And,......
As for the Oil,......
Clean it up,+ See if it comes back,+ where it's coming from......

Btw,....... Welcome aboard to the forums here at iboats.com..............
