    I always loved those boats. Nice work!!
    When I was kid in the early 80s there was a red a white GT20 running around the lake here. It would stop me in my tracks when I heard him winding it up,It had a 2.4 225 on it. it was the fastest thing around here in those days. Probably would still would be!

    Great looking boat and colors. That has always been one of my favorite classics.
    You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

    I ran a GT20 for a season , + it was a great boat , it handled very good , + was great in the rough water, and it turned better than any other boat i had in the snakes, but i abused it bad, + it broke ( my fault ) + sold it to a guy who let it sit for years.

    ................................Thanks for the update , my buddy went to pick it up , it was advertised for free , + a member here offered $ 100 bucks to hold it for him, my friend picked it up + held it in the yard until the S+F member came to pick it up . It will be nice to see it fixed up and running again .!
