I went to theTomahawk to show off my Streams and this odd creation I restored below. Its not a Stream but I am happy to share it with you fellas.
Its a one of kind cab forward Hydro built for speed back in 1959. It has detachable/ adjustable sponsons .I am Running a 44 cube Merc 4 cylinder hydro short on it but it could easily take a 6 cylinder which is in my shop getting created.....The 100 mph limit was broken by Mercury with a 75H back around 1959 . Boat pictured below is running 65mph

Your Hydrostreams are outstanding.Man you said they are nice but i never thought like these.
You have lots of work in these boats.As i can see..Unreal.

Only 1 of these Hustlers is all original gel........The rest are repaints.......The Black Voodoo has a unique smoothed Bedliner on the bottom withe a Base clear black above the rub rail.......All of them are holding up well under the waves and water and seem to be taking the pounding well.......Canadian version Voodoos were not built by Pipkorn............The Green boat has a Modified Johnson Stinger with V4 carbs........All of my motors have Bobs Low water pick-ups with Bobs nose cones......Propping has varied but the Merc 10 3/8ths Chopper prop 13 spline has worked Great with a little added roll on the edge.
the trailers were all done in Black rocker Schutz for durability...(just cannot stand a peeling painted trailer LOL)


I found one Hustler in Florida, One in Kentucky and One in Illinois. I traveled to London ,Ontario to get the Voodoo...........Thanks for all your questions.......keep em coming

PS, yes voodoos are still made but they have different tops and shorter transoms......

I do remember you Brian and may thanks for the short shaft Stinger with the JET ....i am currently looking for a unique Boat to put it on as the Hulls on the Hustler would not perform well with it
