Hydro-Stream
 

i still have the hydro stream for sale. 1979 V-king. im just looking to get my money out of it. have over 2K invested. looking for someone to make an offer.

Funny you should mention that, I have been exploring the go fast boat world lately. Trying hard to resist it, but it looks so fun.

Tell me all about your V-king and show some pics if you have some.

WARNING: "Go Fast Bug" bite = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you have been warned

I know, I know, but I will only go 80, then be satisfied, I promise!

That picture next to my ID Tag is my buddies boat, he got rid of it 2 years ago. Some of the most exciting and memorable boating experiences came from racing his 18' Donzi for over 10 years. It cost him $$$ and he did all the work himself. He started off with a 60mph boat and by the last two seasons we were doing 120mph+(documented).

Check out the pics
The pictures with the life jacket on is the owner, notice the parachute attached to the back of his neck.
The last one is of us a few years ago in the Roar on the Hudson poker run with me behind the wheel.

When I had my first kid 3 years ago I decided it was no longer worth the risk.

she needs a little love but she does come with the factory windshield. also i plan to put paint on the bottom weekend after next.

YEAH, RIGHT! I remember with my flats boat I said I'll be happy to hit 55 with it, then I hit 55. Next thing you knew I bought another prop so I could hit 60. Good thing I sold it because I talked to somebody else who was running 63 in his, if I had kept it I would have had to push it to 65. Speed is an addiction, you should know that. I'm sure you have wrote enough tickets to speeding addicts.

Cool pics JJ. I have NO desire to go 120 mph on the water, one arm twitch at the wrong time and you are DEAD! I just am toying with the idea of maybe going 75-80.

FERM, i am very lucky that my line of work provides a decent living AND daily speed fixes for my addiction.:sand:

randleman i also have a 1993 2.5 merc carbed 20" that will push the boat easily into the upper 70's i also have controlls and guages the engine needs to be put back together its bored out on only one cyl by 15 thousanths.plus i might be able to throw in a sea star steering. $4700 for everything.
