wow....there was a lot of dry glass in there. Guess they were being stingy with the resin. Looks good bud.

Heck yeah! Looks great. :up:

Well finally I finally have some progress to report. The core is done. Still some work to do on the hull but it will be coming home soon. A great rigging project for the winter.[attachment=17]Apricot Viper Core (1).jpg[/attachment][attachment=16]Apricot Viper Core (3).jpg[/attachment][attachment=15]Apricot Viper Core (4).jpg[/attachment][attachment=14]Apricot Viper Core (5).jpg[/attachment][attachment=13]Apricot Viper Core (7).jpg[/attachment][attachment=12]Apricot Viper Core (8).jpg[/attachment][attachment=11]Apricot Viper Core (11).jpg[/attachment][attachment=10]Apricot Viper Core 13.jpg[/attachment][attachment=9]Apricot Viper Core 14.jpg[/attachment][attachment=8]Apricot Viper Core 15.jpg[/attachment][attachment=7]Apricot Viper Core 16.jpg[/attachment][attachment=6]Apricot Viper Core 17.jpg[/attachment][attachment=5]Apricot Viper Core 18.jpg[/attachment][attachment=4]Apricot Viper Core 19.jpg[/attachment][attachment=3]Apricot Viper Core 21.jpg[/attachment][attachment=2]Apricot Viper Core 22.jpg[/attachment][attachment=1]Apricot Viper Core 23.jpg[/attachment][attachment=0]Apricot Viper Core 24.jpg[/attachment]

That's great, keep me posted.

My low water gearcase will fit your motor. I'll find out next weekend if the potential buyer wants it or not.

I was looking into blocking off the holes. it will just be trial and error. i did notice that Hydrostream put alot of engineering into there hull design.! the back hopefully will splash water around. if you have an extra low water gear case that will fit an 83 inline keep me in mind, i would be interested. thanks,

I have an extra low-water gear case, but I think it is sold. If not, I will let you know.

I have heard from reliable sources that you can block off the four upper holes on each side of the standard water pick up and it will work very well with the prop breaking the surface. Hydrostreams have a cut out under the transom that creates a pocket that throws up a lot of spray at the lower unit.

Hey that's totally fine, i am new to the inline as well. once the boat is restored i will probably have a collection of props as well to test out. as much as i want a chopper prop, with out jack plate and low water pickup not relay good for running fully submerged. i just looked up XSKid1 on S&F. Wow ! so much great information to sift through. Thanks for sharing. that viper set up looks fast. if i decide to get more serious withe inline i will look for a low water pickup with a jack plate. i will be happy with 60 with the prop fully submerged.. well see.

ha almost teary eyed looking at the cv16. that was my first boat. 74 cv16 plum purple. found it at a boat salvage yard and brought it back to life. it was a very fun boat. but it had its limitations when it comes to speed. that's when the hydrostream blows it away. the cv16 did not have a pad it was round hull in the back. it chine walked a little past 50. beautiful boat, the Carlson hull was very strong no doubt.!
