I get it, lve recored 8 Hydrostreams in my lifetime. Its so so much work but worth every minute when you relaunch her and it performs as Pipkorn designed it to be. Long live the GREAT Hydrostreams !!

Thank you also added some blue pearl in the clear. My father had a vector he painted same color he sold after a close call. Glad we found this one to bring back

I'm guessing the bottom work we saw was taking the factory hook outta the pad. Not sure if you drove it before at any speeds but I've heard mixed reviews. I would think a flat pad may be a bit more stable at the cost of a few miles an hour. With a V6 of 260 or more HP a man can afford to lose a couple I guess.

Left the hook and just leveled the pad with glass and long hair etc. my father had one and did the same thing with better handling after his rebuild and leveled pad. Motor needs power pack and stator. (Got hot melted, old). Haven’t ran it above 70 yet so when we get parts we will play and see how she reacts. Got alot of seat time to put in

I'd love to know what a "core delete" entails, Chop strand matting is not structural in any way, did you build up the glass on the bottom like 18 layers? or?

Did I spot the gas tank up front? I've heard a lot of people recomend not to have a tank up front. When I boutlght my vector it also had a tank up front. Boat is in rebuild stage and debating where to place the teak this time. Have you noticed any issues with it located in the bow?

Had nothing but electrical problems this year with the motor. Ran 72 just enough to get up on the pad in its current two cylinder misfire state. Originally had a 20 something gallon tank up front and would actually notice take off and running trim differences full vs quarter tank. Did some research and got a 13 that fits good in the rear I’m going to run next year. Moved battery up front for some weight up there plus a tool bag I keep to the left up there. I will upload an up to date video next season on the set up and running video.

We put a bobs nose cone on it over the winter and got a 28 cleaver to try. Got an ignition problem Im going to try and diagnose today actually. Lots of playing around to do and figure out how it handles with the leveled out pad. More videos to come thank you.

@@briansteffman9196 not sure how you like the cleaver but they're generally tunnel Hull props. They don't give any bow lift like a chopper but some set ups don't need lift. I ran a 29 Ron Hill chopper that was perfect for my sterling dominator. Basically same Hull just a little prettier if I do say.
