I still have a FLIP PHONE You're ahead of the curve. They're making a comeback. I wish carbureted two strokes were too :( I was just in Australia a few weeks ago. It's summer there and the recreational boaters were out in full force. But the cool thing is their two stroke ban did not take effect un...

Liked to come across one of those 260 to 280 hp Merc’s to put on the back end of my 77 Vamp! It hits over 60 right now with the Evinrude 140 on it! Time will tell I guess! Looks like new outboards are all going 4 stroke with unwanted added weight! & life goes on! [ Post made via iPhone ] https:...

But the cables got so stiff it drove me crazy. And replacement cables were expensive and hard to find. So I bit the bullet, pulled all the Ride Guide gear, and replaced with a Teleflex dual cable and rack system that I got lightly used from a guy on SnF. The Teleflex system is NFB, so it doesn’t hav...

Thanks for not closing. Not had much going on with my viper over the last couple of years, but glad you’re still here. And I’m not on Facebook by the way... don’t even have an account. -Peter [ Post made via iPhone ] https://www.hydrostreamforums.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/iPhone.png

Think bass boat hull but with seats instead of casting decks. I also have a nice center console 18’ ...

This one is ideal but would have to fabbed by somebody. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd58/transomstand/Tech%20Stuff/jackplate.jpg agreed with pete here... and my name is pete, too :) see the raised transom on my viper below... my viper has zero setback, bolted straight to...

looks very nice. i never get tired of the look of fresh clean dry balsa, glassed over nicely like that. say, i haven't read the whole thread, but what did you bed the balsa core into? did you mix up some kind of paste? also, since the last post was just before summer, did you manage to get out on th...

Couple of years ago PK Marine, now out of business was advertising a brand new viper and had pics of it. Hull was not rigged. Pretty tempting at the time. The owner was in some big public scuffles over scream and fly with members there who were complaining that he had their hulls for too long or had...

the hull is done and nice, but it's a v4 boat for the time being... one day...
