Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
It will fit corner to corner. I used Rayplex epoxy, balsa, marine plywood, sundries and various 12, 6, 4 oz cloths and weaves. I think the total was about 2500 for all the fibreglass stuff. Paint, and wrap, etc not included in the 2500 I bought my glass weaves, cloth, and balsa from Noah’s marine. T...

Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
I rigged up the Vandal!!!! Bare minimum. It’s setup about 2.5 inches below the pad with a 13.75 x 21 aluminum prop. Trim on the wheel, and a hot foot. Motor runs flawless. It’s super fun to drive. The acceleration to about 50 mph is addictive. I was jumping it, and giving it a beating to see if the ...

Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
Thanks for the props hippie! I’m determined to get it wet in 2021. I got a bobs convertible jackplate that I’ll run in 2.5” mode, a hot foot, dual cable rotary style steering that I don’t know if it is a great move, and a 90’s Johnson 115 crossflow v4 to rig up. I wrapped the deck in white vinyl. I ...

Re: 1978 Vandal Ontario Canada
Welcome to the forum Crawl. Whereabouts in Ontario are you? What lakes/rivers do you typically run on? Thanks for the welcoming. I will be mostly running on Chandos Lake, North Kawatha. There’s quite a few Hydrostreams on Chandos. I can’t wait to cruise in the flock. [ Post made via iPhone ] https:...

Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
Painted it with Endura paint. Roll and tipped. 2 coats. Hope it holds up. People report its excellent boat paint, but it’s still paint. Not gell. I didn’t want to invest in the equipment and education around spraying gell coat. [ Post made via iPhone ] https://www.hydrostreamforums.com/ext/sniper/mo...

Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
Blue printing and straightening out the bottom. And a million blisters to fill. I don’t have many pictures, but this took a ton of time filling and sanding. I added cloth anywhere it was over .050 deep. For the blisters I mixed up some milled fibers and cabosil. [ Post made via iPhone ] https://www....

Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
Pandemic progress! It’s on year 4 of being in the shop as a side project. It will be getting wet next summer. Very nice to see the end in sight.

Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
Nice job. I have one that needs this done. Know of anyone looking? No but, there’s always a market for any Hydrostream here in southern Ontario. In any condition, if it’s priced according it will sell. [ Post made via iPhone ] https://www.hydrostreamforums.com/ext/sniper/mobiledevice/images/iPhone....

1978 Vandal Ontario Canada
I decided to pickup a Hydrostream as a midlife reward. Ive raced a few things, and currently Offroad rock racing. I hope this boat is as thrilling as i hope. I choose the Vandal for its size and rarity. The styling is growing on me. I wanted a Viper, but i heard the Vandal is better in some ways. I ...
