Hello Everyone,
My name is Jeff, or 75GT one here. Just joined the site because I'm embarking on a new journey in life. I have spent the last 20 or 22 years give or take as a "tinny". I love old tin Starcrafts and have restored three super sports and two islanders. I'm also a very active member in the Antique Outboard Motor Club. I spend most my winters ( I live in Wisconsin, so we get a lot of them) restoring old outboards from Johnson, Evinrude, and this year an old racing unit from West Bend, a Golden Shark 40. I was a kid of the 70's and love everything about them. Tomorrow I'm making a 250 mile round trip to pick up my dream boat. It's a 1975 Glastron GT 150. The James Bond special with it's original 85hp V4 Johnson motor. It needs stringers, most likely a transom and the rest but the good thing is the previous owner had all the original seats redone in the boats original color, screaming orange and white. I'm going to make this little GT pristine again, but I will most likely need a little help and guidance along the way. Making the switch from wood and tin to fiberglass and wood will be a challenge...but I'm up for it. Gentleman, can I count on your support?
