Mystery solved!!!!!!
Somebody asked why there are so many Hydrostream boats that start with the letter "V."
I asked Howard Pipkorn that last weekend at the Twin City Powerboat races at Pine City, Minn.
He said that "all Hydrostream boats starting with the letter V, are "V" bottoms." !!!
He also said that the tunnels are named after cats, as in cataramans, like Panther.
There will be another Twin City Powerboat club race at Forest Lake Minn. September 24, 25 2011.
Howard Pipkorn will be there if anybody has more questions. He is the Commodore of the club.
I will have a very rare, one of a kind Hydrostream race boat there on display.
CHECK IT OUT!!!!
P. S. There are several Vandals and a Viper that run in the V bottom classes that will be competing at F. L.
Wondering how to post images or maybe change your avatar or maybe something else?

Thats what I figured but was never really sure. Howard also lives just down the road from my grandmother but as luck would have it, I never seem him at all.
Forest Lake is not to far from me at all so I just might have to mark this one on the calendar. Maybe my Vulture will be done by then so I can watch the races from the water.![Thumb Up :up:](./images/smilies/thumb.gif)
