That is a cool web site but the only reason I can see to restore a GT150 is to make it as "much ilke" the original Bond as possible. It's never gonna be a great perfomer, there are a lot better 15 footers out there. However, the boat does look cool. I wouldn't waste the money on a new ETec...

I have one of these as a project boat, it even has the original Chrysler trailer but no motor. Normally a boat of this vintage in good condition w/o motor would be about $750. However, these shallow vees are very rare so it really depends on who's buying and how badly do they want it. BTW: What...

Chris, Disaster struck, he was hooking the fuel line back up to the fuel pump. He loosen the screws to inspect it but it came apart. Not only does it have a rubber diaphram but it has springs in it too...complex enough that he'll need a diagram to get it back together. We think the fuel pump may...

The oily substance is definitely coming from the exhaust holes above the cav plate. He recleaned the carbs and I asked him about the jets, he seemed puzzled about backing them out some. He checked the gearcase lube (it's fine) and he dropped the foot and inspected the impellor (also fine). While...

He borrowed a compression gauge and said it's about 125 psi in both cylinders. Started up fine on a hose, launched my jon boat and once in the water it wouldn't start! Here's the weird thing, it's leaking a black oily substance out of the exhaust holes above the cavitation plate. Sometimes it...

Yeah it's probably a 9.9, I haven't seen it yet. I know he can call the local dealer and probably get that info but I was just curious if there was a web page for outboard specs. I searched and could not find one that gives compression numbers.

I have friend that's looking for the rated compression for a 1981 Evinrude 9.8. Does anyone know of a website that posts compression values for outboard motors?

Are you considering the supply/demand oil issues currently affecting the market, not to mention Hubbard's Peak theory? It's a hard reality to face but all boaters should be prepared to acknowledge the impact of energy prices on the boating market. Brunswick is a business just like any other...

Nice Project Congratualtions, that Predictor looks to be in pretty good shape. If I got hold of one of these I'd look for a Mercury XR2 to hang on it.

upload pics Please feel free to upload any of these pics.

cool shape If the shape looks familiar that's because the Chrysler engineers that designed this boat had worked on the Apollo program. They wanted it to look like the top of the Saturn V rocket. Also check out the notched racing transom, years ahead of it's time.

I have this posted on several forums; I bought two 16' shallow vees in WI. I live on the Gulf Coast and will be driving up there within the next 30 days to pick "one" them up. They are project boats and one does not have a trailer. These are rare boats worthy of restoring. If someone near the...
