Color sand the whole boat trying to get it all back to the color found under the decals.

The one for my Hondo is only 22". I've only run into a couple launch ramps that have given me any problems being too steep.

I believe you are correct. I've never met him that I know of, but have heard the name.

It's a very nice build. Good reason I was duped into thinking it was a v-drive.

I try to charge my guys for every spray of this incredible Panther Piss. Almost as hard to get and just as expensive.

Good catch. Upon further review of other pics, it does have a manual Place Diverter handle also. Going to have to move this one into the jet section.
That makes the count

Definitely a good looking T deck, but I’m looking for the raised deck GT style Hondo did for a couple years only (‘76-‘77 I believe).

This is the one I can't tell if it's a jet or V-drive.

The first nine are the only jets I've been able to find. All the rest I believe are v-drives. One is unknown because I can't tell from the one pic I've been able to locate.

« on: January 31, 2018, 08:59:47 PM »
I've been collecting photos of Hondo's with the GT deck for years. I've heard conflicting reports on how many were produced and have decided to start posting pictures here in hopes of getting feedback and maybe more pictures of other boats I've missed.

I'm just starting to gather information right now. I have a pretty good idea of what I want, just need to figure out how much it'll cost and where to start.

When it does come time to replace the cam, don't jump on the bigger is always better band wagon. Depending on cylinder head castings you could be limited to .560 range maximum lift before you start interference with the valve stem seals. If you do pull the heads for overhaul, be sure to have the spring seats cut down so there isn't any restraints in the future.

I wanted to put this out to the SCJB family before flipping through the yellow pages.
I've been wanting to build a shop/garage at my place for many years, and I'm kicking it around again. This time I've realized I can't do it myself... So, I'm looking for a referral to someone you know, or someone on SCJB that is a General Contractor that is willing to build in Mentone CA. I'm in San Bernardino county luckily, and don't have to deal with city of Redlands building issues.

With good information C&J can set them up out of the water, requiring very little tuning once in the water.
