Russ, thanks for your help....long time Hydrostream lover, I actually just found a 1987 brochure, I almost bought one new in 1988, fast forward 23 years and I have a 1985 Vulture with 200 Mercury.
The boat I bought is from 2nd owner, he only had it 1 year, the original owner boated on the same lake I grew up on, and I still boat there.
I am in need of windshield!!!
2nd owner afraid to take over 68, said the original had it to 75.....I hope to get that.
I believe the prop is 26,
I will confirm today, I just got it home last night.
I now own three boats, 1987 Baja Sunsport196, 1997 Baja 290es and my Stream. :D

Welcome to the forum!

If your tank is a factory installed option, it's a 20 gal. HS used a rectangular shape tank mounted as close to the transom as possible.

We've had Bahas in the family too. They've always been bulletproof, fun boats....but now I know that life begins on the pad. :up:

Enjoy!

Oh boy... :pound: I bet Russ is just tickled pink with joy right now. :lol:

Dont worry, Its an ongoing joke with Russ here cause he has AOL and we thought he was the only one left that actually uses it still.

And welcome to the forum. :up: Awesome to see another Vulture here. They seem to be popping like crazy all of a sudden. If you need anything feel free to ask. Thats what we are here for.

Oh yeah, Post some pictures of it. We love picture. :up:
