fishing hydrostream???
ive basically gutted my entire hull to redo the core and i was thinking, because i like to fish, that i would enjoy my viper with accessories like a trolling motor. i figure if i was gonna do it, i would reinforce the deck with some fiberglass on the underside and figure out a way to put a non marking carpet that can easily be attached when i plan on fishing but can be removed so a nice paint job will show. has anyone ever done this before? if you find this interesting and have any suggestions feel free to post ideas and pics or drawings as i would love to hit a bass tourney in a litttle viper with my 115 tower of power i think ot would be a fun little boat that would get lots of use
Re: fishing hydrostream???
I'd get a varmint, hooker are a vantage, but if your good with fiberglas work you could make yourself a fishing cap and put on the hull, the vector my brother bought the previous owner was gunna turn it into a fishing boat

Re: fishing hydrostream???
i never knew these boats existed!! i did a google search of those hulls and the varmint is by far the best looking out of those. Very interesting, i wish i had heard of them before. i must say though, they seem to be rare. the hooker looks like an old cajun.. not good looking at all. the vantage looks okay to me going by google anyway i dont really know about any of them. How rare are those hulls? i dont know that i would even be able to find them. maybe i could try getting creative with some fiberglass and do something to that style with my little viper. it cant get any uglier than it is right now anyway.. thank you for that response man i might look around for one see if someone is interested in a trade

Re: fishing hydrostream???
thanks for the heads up man! just checked it out now. not a fan of that bow style myself. but i appreciate the help. still thinking about doing a little custom work to my viper. a flush foot pedal like a modern bass boat, modified dash to step up to the bow maybe. or at least a step in the left side to walk to the bow. and some stands at the rear corners for a second fisherman. got a few small ideas floating in my head right now. i wish there were more varmints running around cheapRussF wrote:there a fishin stream up here in Nasuha NH for sale on Craig List
Re: fishing hydrostream???
There was a varmint for sale about a 1/2 mile from my dads that has a inline 150xs on it
