new guy with first hydrostream

Post: # 15933Post nosboss »

Hey guys! Im not new to boating or little boats with big motors. I am new to hydrostreams though. I picked up a 1976 Ventura II that is basically just a hull. It needs a core and transom replacement. It will be my winter project and next years boat. I may need some advice along the way, so I hope I came to the right place.

I will be powering this hull with a 1987 evinrude 200xp. Right now it will be on a 5.5" jackplate with a smaller one coming soon.

Looking forward to the hydrostream community!

It's pretty hard to look at. I got it as a shell and it looks like it was pulled from the scrap yard. I don't think the board will let me post pics yet. Soon I will have them up.
