Brought home my next project today, after a little 320 mile road trip to Chattanooga and back. She's a little rough, but should make a nice lake cruiser (some day) when I get her finished. I realize it isn't a true "Glassic" by most of you guys standards, but I like it. :P

Definitely going to need some "tutoring" on the I/O stuff, kinda new to me.

Looks good Mark. Open bow, 4 banger for economy, quiet and smooth.
Fun, fun.
Might have to start calling you Triple G with that fleet you're building!! ;)

I can't see a problem doing a newer boat. I honestly would love to have a pontoon boat of the small scale of like 16 ft for my fishing. :) I've had that one Larson inboard I had to give away. It is still in a small pond I hear in a paintball course.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.“

Thanks guys, I appreciate your open mindedness. I plan on keeping the GT150 to fill the "need for speed" days, but this one makes a lot more sense for regular cruising.

Exactly my thoughts, thank you all.

A little investigating yesterday revealed a poorly done "floor-over", Lord knows what's lurking underneath that! Gonna take my time and do it up right.

It might have been on CL too, but I found it during one of my routine searches on Ebay, Larry. I don't ever do Lake Lanier, just too crazy and crowded for me! Plenty of nice lakes much closer to my side of town anyway. ;)

Nice score Mark, maybe not a "classic" but really classy. I/O's are not that difficult. All the used ones I have owned usually had the gimbal bearings neglected. Not hard to replace if you have the right tools and shaft to align it with.
Keep us posted.
