Anthony's Ventura II

Post: # 18128Post VultureNo2 »

My son Anthony finally got a Hydrostream of his own. Here are a couple pictures of it. He will be starting his own WIP thread soon. Anyone notice anything odd about the dash? :shock: :D

I like that color!

What year is the hull? Mine is missing the id plate that's on the right side of your dash. You wouldn't mind snapping a pic of it for me, would you?

Don't mind at all. If I don't get a chance tonight, I will do it tomorrow. I think it's a 79 but will check that too. It had the original back to back's, or what's left of them, in the boat. Keep up the good work on yours. What power are you thinking of hanging on it? We are not sure yet what power, but not interested in dangerous fast. How do you like the holes where the trolling motor was installed? :evil: Bill

I don't think they changed anything between 1975(mine) and 1979 so it should be the same. The plan is to bolt my 200 bridgeport looper to it. Should push it plenty fast if it will float with that much weight on the back.

That should be plenty of power. Float test should be ok too. Bill

Wow! I didn't even see the holes drilled in the bow till i went back for another look. That sucks. Just more work that has to be done.

Yeah - It'll get a complete makeover. Hope to re-shoot sparkle gel on it after re-build. Not sure what color yet. Plenty of time to think about it.
