Kevlar hull construction
Kevlar hull construction
I am looking at buying a mid 80's Hydrostream. Outstanding condition, less than 100 estimated original hours, that was apparently ordered with a custom Kevlar hull. I am well aware of Hydrostream's core issues. Does anyone know if the Kevlar was used in place of the balsa core or if the Kevlar hulls still have a balsa core?

Kevlar hull construction
In a recent conversation with Howard a few weeks back, if im not mistaken, none of the hulls were ever built from the factory using Kevlar/carbon fiber. I may have heard him wrong but I could have swore thats what he said. Sonic (aka Jeff) would be able to answer that maybe as he was the one pounding Howard with the amazing questions a few weeks ago but that did come up and he had a reason as to why they didnt go that route and it made complete sense.
What hull is it?

I'd be VERY surprised if the boat was Kevlar. Contact John Tiger, he will know.revenue48 wrote:QR_BBPOST I am looking at buying a mid 80's Hydrostream.

I think my HST has some Kevlar here and there. You can see a dark woven material through the polyester.

Re: Kevlar hull construction
probably spam. This user's profile states he's from Montreal but is plugging a website for a yacht company in Fort Lauderdale Florida?
