'77 Howard GN 20'

[cj222]

My youngest got a little nervous and screamed at me when I took it up to around 5k rpm lol. Still had another 1/4 throttle left

Did you get to leg it out and come up with the top speed? I’m curious after all the guesses on how well the set-up would do.

No I didn't get to go full throttle with it, my little one got nervous. Also I put new batteries in my old garmin GPS to find out the display screen is messed up lol. Need to get a new one!

Nice truck, that would look kuul with the boat? The 2 tone yellow and no tail lights is a nice touch. Haha is it good runner?

It has slim line led taillights just under the lip of tailgate. It's a little bit of a project but it runs

Kuulio, figured I had to be missing something. Haha hopefully it's a quality runner and you can get it cheap. A mild 496"/502 turbo engine in that with a modern overdrive Trans would make for a great nostalgic hauler/cruiser and get decent fuel mileage too.

Needs at least 22s and the black stripes deleted and would look very very sexy

I honestly am not a big fan of the large wheels. I think the 16's fit it just right IMO

 

[Brokeboatin221]

I can respect that. I’m pretty old school myself meet in the middle with 17s for better tire options

We'll help you spend your money, just ask!

Saw your boat at the regatta, man you nailed it...also saw the trailer in the parking lot at Jack Smith....damn! I've honestly never seen a boat trailer without a boat on it, that didn't need a boat on it to look bitchin. Well done all around man.

Got the river dually up and running. Tore off all the TBI b.S. that didn't run right and swapt it over to carburetor. Found out it has different heads and a gear drive instead of timing chain. Replaced both fuel tanks and fuel pumps. Then cut off all the old cats and muffler and straight piped it with a flowmaster super 40 muffler. Also added new LED headlights and a phantom grill. Few more things to do and then it should be drivable again.
