[quote="hydrostream76"]growing up i always considered "Charger" hydrostream's arch enemy .... lol[/quote]

i ended up towing him in...........twice! :mrgreen: 1 point hydrostream. :up:

i guess he has a 200 with those speeds ?
there was 1 video i saw on fast boats canada with a guy running his and that was it, they're rare.
there is also the 21 foot mod VP awesome looking boat comes to a severe point...saw 1 in my life on the water just motoring ....
i was impressed, had a valero at the time
i've seen a couple for sale of the 21 the 18 not lately at all
growing up i always considered "Charger" hydrostream's arch enemy .... lol

it runs pretty good. hes running a 28 worked cleaver. it starts to sponson walk when he gets it up in the 90's. other than that it runs flat and cruises around turns

friend of mine had one like that,
charger STV 18 foot mod vp
he sold it b4 i had a chance to race him with my viper
we both had 150 XR2's
how did the stv go ?
they are rare and can go for good money in good shape

[quote="YDOC462"]dont hold me to it but i think its a 1985 stv mod vp needle nose . believe they were built in texas by Rourke Summerford (stv guy)????? 18 ft. bottom is similar to the hydrostream HST.........so i was told.[/quote]
You are right on Roarke Summerford, it's nothing like the tri maran HST though, google Laser LTV , same hull Charger made them in the eighties,called the STV,its an air entrapment V hull, all from one of his designs I think.They were supposed to be a very fast hull, had a buddy who owned one with a 225 omc looper on it , he loved it, said it ran in the eighties. Ther HST was taken off the Stoker SST mold before Pipkorn made changes to the tunnels and added a new deck.
