This GT is VERY original including I believe all the upholstery.......The Tall Dark and Handsome on the Transom got the carbs rebuilt and runs great. Owner is not a member but may be in the future.......both boats are really nice examples.

Had a visitor today........original owner and super nice original boat, The gel on this boat looks like a restoration but it is original. Had a chance to meet the owners and my new friend Lucy as well (pretty sure it was Lucy).......My old memory playing tricks again? Anyway it is a super nice boat.....

Well........Its a rough job but someones gotta do it............ Thinking this one is probably going to need a lake test............

Fun with triple 150 ETechs......The advertising is on the front 1/2 of the hull........

More bow lift than I want.

Retro Performance · « **Reply #11 on:** July 15, 2014, 06:31:28 PM »

This is a relative of the triple 150's.........This one is running twin 200 HO's and the owner of these did offer me a chance to ride in and drive them..........Thinking I better take him up on that one..........I am guessing the low and mid range acceleration is pretty impressive?

Real nice CV16 stopped by today........I am curious about top speed, not sure I believe the cowl........it is however a very original and nice example......

Retro Performance · « **Reply #13 on:** September 09, 2014, 07:28:50 PM »

Anybody recognize this guy? ...........One of my Techs called it "The New Black Stack From Fond Du Lac "

Hyperacme · « **Reply #14 on:** September 09, 2014, 08:36:51 PM »

Don ... We have to talk about your picture sizes ... LOL

Did Merc go back to in-line sixes ?
What size is that ?

Retro Performance · « **Reply #15 on:** September 09, 2014, 08:45:47 PM »

I take them with a phone.....not sure how to make them bigger? That Merc is the in line six 250........just might be the answer for my center steer CV16 Screamer

Hyperacme · « **Reply #16 on:** September 09, 2014, 08:50:26 PM »

I'm on my phone ... Can't see .. To small ...
Is that your CV ?
Is that a Johnson on the back ?

Retro Performance · « **Reply #17 on:** September 09, 2014, 08:57:14 PM »

The Cv belongs to a customer, has a v4 OMC on it............Hoping he sees this post and lets us know what his top speed is?

Hyperacme · « **Reply #18 on:** September 09, 2014, 09:16:54 PM »

If it's faster then 54 mph ... I'm gonna have to lift my motor another hole and grind the hook out of my hull !

Hyperacme · « **Reply #19 on:** September 09, 2014, 11:50:52 PM »

Don ...
What kind of phone is it ?
How do you get picture off your phone and into your posts here ?
Maybe ask one of them young fella at work to look at it ( your phone ) and adjust picture size to 800 x 600 or 1200 x 800.
Unless ... when you transfer them from your phone to your computer it shrinks them down then ...

If you post them to big ... I can shrink them down for you ... But when there to small, I can't make them big and clear ...
