I bought myself a 21GT

[Gerk]

Check another one off the list.
I am still restoring the Barrelback and pretty close to being done.

My buddies and I are trying to get 1 of every classic model.
Still looking for a Hornet.

I bought that 1970 21GT in Texas that was on CL and eBay.
Very cool boat but still in need of work.
The boat should not have been hauled on the trailer it came with. The boat almost fell off and dragged the outdrive for a couple mins (apparently--This is from the hauler)

All in all I love the look.

Maybe I should post separately, but I need a windshield support bar. These windshields are awful and weak. The Taylor Made are not supported in the center. The bracket is off to one side. (hope that makes sense). 20151003_144104_resized_1.jpg20151004_175500_resized.jpg20151003_130241_resized_1.jpg

Measure where you need to be. I have some nice quality ones that are adjustable by a few inches. I'll send you. Bert

Very cool thank you so much.

There is a slight sag in the windshield, but when I bring it to level, it is 12" right on

Congrats on the purchase! Keep us posted on the progress.

Here's a link to a great video of a Sweet Cheekz running his 21GT on Lake Michigan. I love that boat!

On a 21GT with a 454 would a Solas Titan 23Lh prop be a good choice?

I have the 21 Solas Titan for the 18'er.

Is that 23 big enough or are people running different props for the bigger 21's and 22' Classics?

I guess I am just trying to find what you Hornet, GT, and 22 Classic users are driving.
BTW, I am in high altitude if that changes things.

Thanks all.

M8stake.
I believe we run the titan 19 on our 18 classics with 350 and 351s.

[johnnywhale]

Solas 23 on my 21GT sbc works great

[mattyboy]

I would think a 454 could turn a 23 Solas test it with the 21 and see where you are what rpm are you looking to run the 454 at

[Gerk]

Yeah I made a mistake saying I had a 21. I have a 19 for the X18.

I may just say screw it and go for a Solas 23 and keep fingers crossed

[mattyboy]

what prop is on it now?

[Gerk]

The prop that is on it now is a Hill Thrasher LH 15x25.
It has some grinding on the edges due to the boat nearly falling off the trailer and hitting the ground.

Can they be smoothed out?
Is that a good prop? I actually just a saw a new thread asking about the Hill Thrasher.

Should I just try it as it is? The grinding is not awful although if I was to keep, I would have a prop shop clean it up if that is possible.

[mattyboy]

if it is just scrapped a little and not bent it should be ok try it make sure there is no vibration it may also pay to check the prop shaft it may have been bent depending on how hard it hit. if you pull the prop and run the boat on the trailer in gear see if the shaft has a wobble in it
