Well I made it over finally...
Some of you guys have seen my blue and white Valero YT project over on S&F and on the Hydrostream groups on FB.
I gave $2700 for the boat with a fresh 9 hours Johnson 150 and a brand new caravan trailer. I've got about $600 in materials so far for the recore once I finish the tear out. I also picked up a 2001 optimax 225hp for $2000 so I may put that on in the end, but it may be a bit heavy.
I'm sure I will have a bunch of questions once it comes time to rebuild. For now it's just too hot and raining every day to work on it. Hope to get it done over the winter.
I'd post some pictures but the site thinks I am spamy...

Welcome to the forum, and can't wait for the pics to start coming in. I have a '84 Valero that's waiting for a recore and transome.

Pictures this weekend for you guys. I sold my Johnson 150 this past week so it will definitely be getting the 225 opti rigged.

I have made this album public so you can see all the pictures that were sent to me by the previous owner as well as all of the pictures of me tearing this thing down. Let me know if it works for you guys!

Got it. Yep,... typical HydroStream. You will know your boat inside and out when it's all done.
