I'm a river rat with out a jac plate lol there's alot of Hydrostream here in Adam my wife's aunt own's a 90 or 91 Vegas with a rude on it, and my friend Tom owns 91 Venus black and silver with a 225 rude on it . And I stay in Minocqua quit a bit for vintagesnowmobile racing and the swapmeet and show in ST grmain . been thinking about going to threelakes . And on ole big John red truck that's my wood truck and I have a lifted black Dodge truck starting to rust out cant miss it i has 2 bloodhounds hanging there heads out singing to every body at the stores or a little white Dodge van thats my wife and the hounds go with her to so if your ever in Adams and see us say hello . and I like where I have the motor with 6'' setback and that dumb land a sea cone has dove me nuts sence I got the boat but never seen them before and I've been around Hydrostreams sence I was a kid ,and that cone felt like I could put my hand around it and crush it like a can can't beleave it lasted that long its just time to upgrade with a low water pick up and when I find a jac plate then I'll be asking a lot more how to do the setback with the jac plate on the boat because evey body tell's me the hard on the transom's if not set right .

Adams WI is about 45 miles due east of Tomah WI off Hyw 13. I have actually delivered there once. Thats the only reason I know where it is. LoL

Right by Castle Rock Lake.

I know this is a bit off topic, but where is Adams WI? Are you planning to go up to Three Lakes the weekend of June 22nd? Are you on S&F also? By the way, I am in Pleasant Prairie WI, but spend a ton of time in Minocqua WI. Bill

Nice looking Stream, hope you get all the little bugs worked out and get back on the water, I also like the truck, what year is it I've had two '84 models one shortbed the other longbed and loved them!

Wow I'm sure glad there is a site for Hydrostream's .I have alot more to learn . my wife want 's me to buy a new one I only have 20k saved up need 15k more to go . and she want's new voyager with a 300 but can't find any thing new but Storker the Venmon . my son looking at a 91 I beleave Venus with a 225 Rude .My ole 86 Vagus does pertty good on the river we play with some of the big twin 502's It's a great way to get free Pabst .my power head was sent down to TNN and was warm over alittle and the low unit .

That was an old Land and Sea nose cone. You should be able to run about 1 1/2" below the pad with a few of the top holes plugged, and the remaining holes opened up a bit.

That setup is hard on water pumps, it's essential to keep a strong water pump in it. The pump you have is weak, that's why your pressure drops off, it can't keep the block full. You must change pumps at least once a year, twice if you run a lot of hours. Change the complete assembly, not just the impeller, and change the base every other time.

What does the boat run now, for speed? What engine?

If its already running hot, I wouldn't raise it any more.

All that's in the water is the lower unit .It very easy to get on the pad .the motor does start to warm up for a long run and water psi goes way down ,I'm going to be buying a low water pick up and ajack plate .Ive had my boat for awhile now and learn about the boat 1st now it's time to start to hit 90-95 mph mark and learn that then 100+ hoping anyway . But I'm going to try what you said to try . never to good or old to learn . And thank you and I'm very serious about Hydrostreams .
