Hello, All:
Steve here. I live in Chisago City and just picked up a lovely and well-maintained 1974 GT-150 with the original trailer and original Evinrud 70. All were well cared for by the previous owner who bought it from the original owner in 1981. The engine was completely gone over with new pistons, rods, and various other parts in 2016, with very few hours since then. I’ve had it out so far on Prior Lake with my daughter, who couldn’t stop smiling and loved driving it, as well as on the Whitefish Chain, putting in at the Corps of Engineers campgrounds on Cross Lake. Immediate plans are to keep it available for use as long as possible this fall, then do some minor work over the winter to clean up the motor mount.
As you all know, these things are like go-karts for the water, and it’s been fun getting “thumbs up” from other boaters old enough to remember...looking forward to many more years of acting like a kid again!
