Howdy! Mike here from hudson wi. I have a 72 GT 140, just purchased a couple weeks ago from my neighbor nick ( search old posts here as he loaded a bunch of pics in 08' when he purchased it)

I live a couple hundred yards from the Croix near the ferry landing. I've been fishing and recreating on this river for 30 plus years, including quite a few years guiding out here. I'm a bit of a boat junkie, my other boat is a Towee skiff, TN made flat bottom with a 15 Merc mounted on a panther fixed jackplate. Runs about 25 with 2 guys and gear, in 6" of water. Will eventually add a 25 jet for shallow water muskie fishing.

We love the 140, despite its diminutive size, runs great on the river, turns heads everywhere we go and gets me and the gal out to enjoy the water, she's not too interested do in fishing but digs boat rides. Looking forward to seeing some other old boats out, if anyone has any questions about the river, or access, beaches etc don't hesitate to ask!

Hi mike...
That was me in front of you pulling out of the river last night at Hudson

Hey all, my name is Ric.. New guy from Western Washington. I've been lurking this board for a few years and got drug into the 'just the bow' thread.. Anyway we live in a small fishing town just west of Tacoma called Gig Harbor. Our boat is a '88 cvx-20 sprint with the same year 200 hp Evinrude. Most of our boating is done on salt water as we have 5 free ramp within 10 miles of our house.
Some pics.
My wife and I

All,

New to this website attaching in honor of my father-in-law's passing, a picture of his GX-150 with my son driving it a number years back. His cabin in Northern WI. gave our family a lot of wonderful memories. This one still has less than 100 hrs. on it. Hoping to perhaps take it to Glastorn events in the future. Time spent in this area resulted in our two sons (now in their 40's) to love fishing and now participate in Musky tournaments. They each have Ranger boats. Keep up the good work. Enjoy reading all the postings.

Regards,
Gus

Welcome Gus!

We have yet to see a GX-150 at our meet...your father's looks great!

Hello everybody, my name is Brad and I have a '79 GT-150 with a Merc 115. I rebuilt both.

I live in Des Moines but I grew up on the shores of Devils Lake, ND. I currently have a cabin on Whiteface Reservoir (35 miles north of Duluth). I've gained a ton of information from this site.

Welcome Brad, glad to have you join us here. We'd love to see some pics of your GT & Merc!

My name is Mike and I was invited to this group years ago apparently, but never made it over here until I was going through my resto thread and saw the link again. Someone had reminded me that the group did the river run and it probably had happened already ( it did! ) and I just got my boat on the water for the first time since owing it for 9 years. It's a V178 with a 125hp Force and though it's not complete, it at the bare minimum runs, is registered and has faired well on her first sea trial. She ran straight and true, no porpoising and a half an hour of putting it through its paces ate up about 3 gallons of gas!

I'm going to have to get used to that! Usually I can spend half the summer on 6 in my 25hp 14 ft fishing boat....but baby, this ain't no fishing boat!

Welcome to the forum Mike !

Welcome Mike!!

Jason · « **Reply #276 on:** August 29, 2015, 12:48:03 PM »

Cool! That's the same boat? Wow, what a transformation. Can't wait to see her in person.

redfury · « **Reply #277 on:** August 30, 2015, 12:17:34 PM »

Yeah, I'm looking forward in participating in a river run, though it's a bit of a trek from Isanti down to where you guys usually boat. Just have to make sure the hubs are lubed up well and check the tire pressure. I still have the entire interior and wiring to finish on the boat still. I'm hoping to get some stuff done over winter, since sewing and such won't stink up the house like fiberglass work and painting does. Currently working on a new fiberglass dash...just pulled the glass off of the old plastic dash and have started the finishing work, which is going to take a while.

Hope you can make it to the 9th Annual Glastron Classic, August 18-21, at Treasure Island ...
