Hi Ron,

I'm late coming in on this build. Obviously you are an absolute master at restoring Hydrostream boats!!! The HST looks absolutely fabulous!!!! Your hard work and dedication to this complicated project will certainly be recognized when you take it out on the water! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and journey on this boat with us!!!!

Mike B.

Figured some striping would look nice.
A friend gave me a roller striper. Thought I would give it a try compared to brushing.
This thing is amazing!!! Load the reservoir, set the guide and go to town. Nice clean lines. Took 30 minutes.

Kevin, those are 1/8” aluminum pop rivets.
The hose that came with the bezels was slightly larger than the barb section and wanted to come off.
I’ll dab some black paint on the rivet heads to make less noticeable.

I just noticed some screws in your rigging hose at the adapters. That to keep the hose from coming off? I might need to do that on the motor side of my boat and never thought of doing that.
