Even though I'm a Mercury guy I always liked the sound of those Big OMC

Too funny man my cottage is On the river a few down 😂 what a small world nice vid

Nice HydroStream! Title of the Video is calling it a V-King, but it is actually a Vector. A little shorter and possibly a little quicker than the V-King. Also a little harder to handle on the pad. Good Video!!

Great video!

Sweet Stream!

Nice looking Hydrostream. That big Rude on the back should have went quite a bit faster. Runs good and Sounds great. Also ...That Evinrude is NOT an E-TEC. That Evinrude is a BRP FICHT RAM 3.3L V-6. With the right setup and adjustments, That boat would be Really fast. Nice video !

Was going to skip this vid but it was pretty cool actually.

Beautiful!

what kind and what pitch prop are you running?

good old etecs... the only engine ive ever seen chunk a rod with 40 hrs on it!

I had an action 17 stingray bootleg . 200 Merc 28 pick chopper.. I was a prop tech at accuprop in pompano Fla . GPS 86.. very scary.. these guys are running.. I quit and I love my sailboard.. good luck guys .

Hey fella what length mid and do you have the exhaust drilled ?

They run them with Mercury 2.4 and 2.5 offshore race motors which are 265 and 280 hp respectively

Duuuude 🤘🏼🔥

I had a jet black v king with a 2.4 efi merc 104 mph on monroe county sheriff radar , bad ass boat !

That's a 2 by 4 with a v 6 Holly crap I'm in.

I love that

sure run better than 82mph I know it is not a merc lol

Someone that knows how to set a boat like that up, needs to help him before he gets hurt...

Thats a vector...

nice. bullet lower unit and a nice cleaver. get that thing to lay down and nail it!sometimes a 4 blade with help you. i use a 4 blade hydromotive cleaver tweeked a bit @ 5700 rpms buy myself and 3/4 tank. i've hit near 85 in perfect conditions. 150 merc.2005. and some goodies. but i'm only 15-'5"ft viper too. and yes a handful! 4 blade works great! lots off tourque steer. . teleflex brand new ss dual cable steering. i want to feel it. ha. you need to or your dead! or could be! it's no toy these machines..

its about time to get that boat out in the water for this year. You will get more speed when you get the boat out of the water more. Like only the last 6" should be in the water. Whats the length of that boat?

82 mph with a 225 Evinrude? my 79 viking with an 82 235 Evinrude ran 86 mph on an FHP radar. the same boat with a 200 black max 92 mph and that was under propped. i use a 28 inch chopper it needed a 30 inch cleaver. Jim jr @ Frank and Jimmy's prop shop in Ft Lauderdale got me a cleaver and double cupped it, that set up ran 96 mph on an FHP radar. You guys need to do something else those driving skills (or lack there of) are going to get you killed, Hydrostreams are not for amateurs, these boats can get scary.

Yup uhh just hi oin

I will bet money they are still regretting that motor choice many years later. Who knows, I could be wrong. Some dudes still drive Ford's so there's proof some just like doing shit backwards.

That's no etec, that a strange ficht lol

Needs trim on takeoff I would build a nice hydro foil for it also.

Does the driver not know to trim it in to take off and leave some prop in the water. He needs more cup on the prop.

Don’t let amateurs operate such an awesome boat. Keep the motor trimmed down until the boat is on plane

Zero skill drivers.

Rookie

No reverse gear lol

I always wondered why a hydrosyream will run 85 mph with a 225hp while a allison will run 90+ mph with a 175hp.

need more seat time in that Vector

Dude has no idea how to drive that boat

Canadians 😂

my little 15 ft starcraft with gt 150 would go that fast

Si no corre nada! corre más la moto de agua! esto es como dicen en mi tierra, mucho ruido y pocas cáscaras! , ponle un Honda un Yamaha o Suzuki.

Bye bye 'rude..

He needs to trim down when he tries to get up on plane

Trim trim trim ..trim out !! Or up or something..you got way too much boat wet..trim up get on the pad . If your doing in the 80s now . You could trim up and get 100 easy.. just watch that chine walk

The outboard looks like a blob on the back of the boat. Get a 2.5.......

It's a shame you can't buy 2 stroke anymore. This overpowered boat with overweight 4 stroke is pityful.

If you don't have centered steering on these boats then you don't have shit. You absolutely don't wanna run at speed with 1 driver and even if you add weight or a person to balance the boat out you just lost at least 5 and probably ten mph off the top. That boat with two guys and the mediocre power would be lucky to hit 80.
