new stream construction

[kytekeith]

Does anybody know what materials are used as core and stringers in new streams.

They are all composit I can't think of what materials.

In todays world I would hope all builders use comp. materials. I am hoping to find out exactly what they use and then I would use what they use in order to bring my 76 vector into the 21st century.

Streams Built In by John Spaeth in Canada are all Balsa and Plywood. Vaccum Bagged too of course

The hydrostream site says their factory is in Tennesee now. Am I missing something?

Hydrostream USA is actually in GA now and it is (The name anyways) owned by PK Marine and they are building the current Hydrostreams in the US. The owner goes by GA.Stream on S&F. They are also working on reintroducing the Viper.

Hydrostream Canada is owned by John Spaeth and is the goto guy about hydrostream stuff.

I see where PK Marine distributes Hydrostreams out of Buford Ga. but don't see where they are actualy made. I would like to visit thier manufacturing factory if it is in the south east . I have E-mailed hydrostream and PK maybe I will get a response, If not I will try the old-fashion way (phone). The hydrostream site has a Nevada address. Go figure.??

This is a quote from Ga.Stream and PirateJoe over at S&F

Last year Jim, and I partnered up, and moved the production of Hydro Stream to Ga. We are the retail side of Hydro Stream, and are co owners of Hydro Stream, Hydro streams are being built by Hydro Stream, by Hydro Stream people.

They are no longer in Nevada. I think the Hydrostream site is very outdated cause they have since been in Tennessee as well and now in GA.
