Thanks for the heads up Tim. Although I never got to meet Gil I had talked with him on the phone several times, and corresponded with e mails and PM's on this site. He was a true gentleman and like Bushwacker says very intelligent and articulate. From talking with him it seems he led a good life and accomplished the stuff he aspired to do. One of the things he loved was trout fishing in the sierras. We had planned to meet once up in the mountains but it did not pan out on my end for whatever reason. Those that got to meet him consider yourself smart for taking the time to bond with a fellow Seacraft brother. Gil also had a great sense of humor. I remember asking him how found he found his 21 and his reply was he used google earth to locate it!

RIP Gil

Prayers to His family and friends..... Fair and following seas Brother

Prayers go out to his family, He was a great valued member here and shared the same love as we all do for our fellow members. Wish I could of meet him in person but was blessed to speak over PM,s and the board. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear this. Never met him but he helped me out via PM with some prop wisdom.His posts and repiles were always polite and very helpful . He seemed to me to be a very helpful and generous person . Prayers to his family.

Rest in peace, brother.

Godspeed.
