GrandSport is home

[ScottB]

Just picked-up a beautiful 1993 GrandSport with a 225 from Nick (njj502). Very easy transaction and cannot wait to get her in the water. Since Nick did a great set-up, I will be doing the cosmetic portion this winter. Plan is for a new interior with carpet.

Looking forward to meeting you guys this summer.

Nice package Scott just take your time learning to handle it I hear about to many idiots trying to put it to the end within 5 min of owning one...Where you live??

I have read all that I can read about driving an Allison, and now need to get the seat-time needed this spring. I will take it slow and easy and not get anyone hurt!

I am in Lincolnshire, IL (60069).

Taking the GS in to Bottoms Up to get the gouge taken care of this week, before it goes into heated storage. I would love to hook up and get some driving tips to move the process along.

Where do you launch in St Charles?

She looks real clean. Where are you located?

We will need to compare notes as we gain some seat time! Fortunately, there are some experienced GS pilots in my area, so I will lean on them for some added pointers.

I'm up in MN, about an hour northwest of the twin cities. . . I have big MDS as my teacher, and Jeff, you better get that bike and get up here to show me how to really drive it. . .

Hey Scott who do you know up north who are the Allison pilots..

 

[whipper]

Nice looking Grand Sports boys.:beer:

 

[ScottB]

Hey Scott who do you know up north who are the Allison pilots..

I know there are several GS owners or past owners in the area, and several have reached out with an offer to help.
