Old Rides

Post: # 982Post Surface Scratcher »

I know that now we drive Hydrostreams, but what is in your past?
I'll show you my old rides if you show me yours.

That's a 1978 Hydrasports, Plamyate 120

It ran a 24 in cleaver, only to 60 mph.

It was a sexy little bowrider though. :D

That little GW is cool. Here is the old Hustler Wildcat we had. I want to say it was an early 70's. My dad sold in in the late 80's. My dad bought it from a guy that originally raced it and was bought from Hustler as a factory center steer race hull. Super smooth and excellent handling boat. It had an 85hp inline 6 that ran hard but im sure with some better set up like getting the motor up and stuff it would have ran alot faster. Man I miss that boat. Stupid youtube killed the sound. :(

I cand find any pictures really to save my life of the boat. Might have to go raid mom big ole box of pictures one of these days and find some.

How's the storage on those things? :pound:

Seriously, Those are classics,and yours looks minty. :up:

...comment on the Datsun...That thing was weak! It must have put out 60hp., but it ran forever. I drove it for 14 years.

Thanks, there's room for a small cooler :D Now storing the boat itself was nice though. Tuck it anywhere.

All right, one more of the 'Sport'.

Next post will be of the next boat. Don't even try to guess, you'll be wrong.

That's us about 25 years ago. Looks like I'm contemplating scratching the surface of my arm. :D

Wish my scanner worked then I would post a picture of our old Hustler Wildcat and some better one of the glastron. Right now this is all I have of the Glastron. My now late uncle bought it brand new in the mid 90's and now we have it. The original 454 has been swapped out with a healthy 427 bbc. :D

And for those of you that have seen my Vulture Resto thread, that is the blazer that lost 1/2 of its transmission on the way home from picking up my vulture about 4 months ago. The last 500 miles of that drive was very very slow but we made it home. I still have the blazer but I somewhat replaced it with a Suburban now. :up:
