Definately keep the original color scheme

i am 11 and i almost bought one of these. then the guy who was selling it told me he still liked it. :(

I'd keep it the original color. Boat looks good except for that transom. Is that boat lift completely manual?
-
Keep it original orange!!

@Daytriprrr I'm gonna just rebuild the same, but just stronger. I will try to take pics video as i go. Now its time to get the sleds going.

so nice. im 16 almost 17 i got a 77 gt150 for 1500 kinda expensive. has a running 1980 evinrude 85, a half cut windshield... kinda just want to take it off, crappy seating, the previous owner instaled a crappy tape radio with computer speakers :( ... umm, it has a leak somewhere. but my gosh its such a fun boat. hopefully i can restore some stuff. gets a lot of head looks too. nice boat yours looks really nice.

@vespaT27 Thanks for commenting on my GT. If you saw it now, you would not recognize it. I have completely stripped it. The top section has been separated from the hull and the floor, stringers and transom have been removed. I am undertaking the grinding portion of the restoration now. It is an unpleasant duty, but needs to be done to get to the final result. I am remiss in not posting videos of this restoration, but there are only so many hours in a day! Eventually I will post again.

Thanks for the input on my Glatron GT 150 Hobie. I've got the boat split, the transom out and the stringers removed. Now I just need some warm weather so I can start glassing in the new ones. I'm leaning toward original orange too.

Heatbuzz, I'm at exactly the same step. I have put my GT away for the winter since I need warmer weather to complete the fiberglass work. I would like to correspond with you regarding your plans. I'm not happy with the original transom engineering and am curious as to whether you plan on rebuilding per factory specs or if you intend on reengineering what I believe to be a weak design.
