Re: 1980 Hydrostream Vamp restoration
Transom has been drilled for the top holes, still need to measure and drill the lower holes. But I also need to order some parts from CMC because the last owner snapped the upper ram bolt and bent the lower ram bolt. They just ran it like that for awhile and ended up damaging the mounts.

First trial run at the lake was a great success! Now I am just working on little fit and finish items, carpet, trim work, wiring, the fun stuff.

Re: 1980 Hydrostream Vamp restoration
Spent a week pulling the kids around on a tube, the boat did amazing! The trailer had some issues though, one of the u bolts holding the axle to the leaf spring snapped and dropped the trailer to the ground... took some hack job repairs to get the trailer moving again, but I got it to a repair shop to get a new u-bolt and a new bearing put in.
