Re: Look what I found

Some people shouldnt be allowed to own tools or work on stuff. Good thing that is very easily fixable!

Re: V-King Fuel Tank

Tony built his tank himself from scratch and put the notches in there. My floor will drain into my bilge hole as my tank sits off the floor about a 1/4 inch. Its winter and my boat is under a foot of snow but I'll see if I can find pictures somewhere on my phone. That rear seat in my picture is long...

Re: Project Hydrostream Vulture

Hey, I've washed it. haha

My job I have at the moment has sadly killed so much of my free time that I cant stand it. Working on getting back to work for myself again so I can have some more freedom and time. lol

Re: V-King Fuel Tank

I would go take a look at Tonys VKing resto ( https://www.hydrostreamforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3523 )and how he did it. The Vulture and Vking are pretty close. There is that hump in mine too so inside the bilge area, 1/4 of it isn't really usable. And yes, there are holes up front so water...

Re: Bought a 1986 Valero with a 2.4 race merc.

Welcome, before you get too crazy, defiantly get that core checked out and if its original, replace it, along with the transom, before you get too crazy cause I would hate to see it blow apart on you!

And you shouldnt cover it even if you dont have knees. But thats my opinion. These pics are from when I just got done doing everyth...

Re: V-King Fuel Tank

Yes, in a performance boat such as the Hydrostream, putting a gas tank up front is absolutely stupid. The reason is, it is not static weight so if you have a full tank up front and the bow is really heavy, it could either handle very poor, then when the gas tank is fairly empty, the bow will be real...
