Keep it simple,restore what you have.A real classic.

I agree with JBS, Don't hack that boat up just restore it back to new looking!

Don’t ruin it with any changes. I have a 1979 GT-20 that I just got back from Jack Barsh. I told him to restore it exactly like it looked when it came out of the showroom in 1979. Same color, same configuration, same lines, etc. It looks unbelievably beautiful. Clean, crisp, uncomplicated. If you’re going to “fix it”, do it right and keep it as it was meant to be. By the way, mine is the exact same color as yours (gray and ivory) with the tangerine accent pin stripe.

I had 2 20ss back in the early 80s.great boats.
Anyway found a v21 a couple of years ago and restored it to original.
I'm glad I did it. I've had lots of fun with it and it brings back memories from the Allison days
