GRAY DUCK - Learning To Fly
« on: August 18, 2022, 09:54:54 PM »
Hi, I'm new here and from Southern Minnesota.
Meet GRAY DUCK (As in Duck, Duck, Gray Duck - Not Goose)


Edit:

Well I guess I don't know how to post pictures.
Let's try a link:

Yes it is a 1978 GT150 with a 1982 Johnson 90.
I am considering converting it, or a different one, to jet power.
I have a 2007 Sea Do RXP 215 for a donor.

P.S. Thanks for posting my picture.  What did I do wrong?

Click on "Attachment and other options"  red circle ..
Click on "Choose File" green circle ..
Then choose picture from where there stored on phone or computer.
Most pictures from phones can be VERY large and slow to up load.
Maybe just add two or three pictures per post, so they don't time out ..

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Here's a GT-150 small block conversion:

I converted one to a jet a couple years ago? turned out very good and lots of fun.   Started out with a 76 gt-150 and a four wins fling and combined them.    Look for the post gt-jet.

Thank you.
Yes, I talked to you on the phone but you had already sold it.  I don't remember, what HP did you put in it?
Funny thing is, I was considering building an aluminum mini jet and a buddy suggested converting Gray Duck.  I immediately dismissed it as not possible, then I saw yours.  Thanks for the inspiration.
But, I'm certain that the outboard can do things a jet can't.  So I'm searching for another boat to have both.

It's for sale ...

Custom built gt 150 glastron jet drive, very cool and unique boat,
Originally came with outboard motor. Now has a 115 V4 OMC. This one handles like a JetSki. Drifts And slides into corners and turns 
All new paint floor and transom, very solid boat, turn key, needs nothing.
I can?t take credit for the work, but the craftsman who is responsible did a great job 👍
Looks factory
