unfortunately i cant take credit for it..it was like that when i bought it. yep i know what you mean, its a big job. im still working on it as the weeks go by i probably wont sell it untll its finish though.

I don't think my buddy did either. If I remember right he dreamed of just hitting 70mph did it then 80.......Well let's see if we can hit tripl digits.... 110mph.......nest thing you know....hollycrap we are over 120. THEFERMANATOR sounds like he knows the feelings.

Might as well give it a shot though, get it out of your system.

Got a '94 v-hull 15'11" Ashcraft from my father that had a 90 on it. The first time I took it out he said "don't go over 5500 with it and you'll be allright". This boat only had a depthfinder and a tach on it. While in Florida fishing one year I asked him to open it up and see what it would do, later in the afternoon he obliged. I had the GPS in hand, once it got up to 56mph he backed off and leveled out. We had a full compliment of gas, bait tackle, all the stuff for a days fishing. At the fish camp I asked him why he backed off of the motor, his reply was "I still don't have the right prop on that thing and it will overturn the motor". We later removed the 90 and replaced it with a 50, at least it will sit in the water more level instead of having to look to the rear to see if water is comming over the transom. Much better as a flats boat instead of a haulass.
That Hydro Stream has a lot of the same lines as the Hydra Sports bass boats have.

I had a Donzi 18 for a while and threw away a bunch of money on her. She sure was fun though. I guy I used to knows father took one of those old hydrostream hulls and cut the deck and cap down, painted it white, and put a poling platform on the back and had a decent looking and unique flats boat.
