Gregg that boat has waited many years... ITS TIME!

A boat is only as fast as it has actually gone... in the water

It would make for a killer photoshoot too

It's past its time!
It's beauty but sitting on a trailer all these years aint good for it! I think it would need a drag to hit 3ripple digits!

a mod drag

Does Hydrostream Canada still make the V-King?

A bit of a distant shot, but here is mine at the Romp last year.

I love those old flaked boats! Looks nice! Any info on it?

Yes V-Kings are still being made uphere!

Its a work in progress actually. The original gel coat is real nice (brusier scheme). All new wood. Pic was taken as it just got back on the water (it had been stored up in the rafters of a marina for about 15 yrs prior). Stock 150 HP Johnson on the back. Working on set-up and interior now.

Larry - we have to get the two Vkings together this year at the Romp for a photoshoot !!

**baja200merk** · 01-29-2008, 09:56 PM

that brusier scheme is one of the best looking they made!

I don't think a drag is needed. with the motor i am building for my hull it will or should hit the triple digit mark. Mind you my motor is not going to be near stock. Oh and Ronnie is helping me build it. Allen

Umm if you can bear to watch, a drag will surely bypass 115. Yours is the ultimate dream for a V-king.

Like THIS ?

Vector and V-King

How about if you can bear to drive? I'm sure 115+ is is very possible with the power of a 260(+) but can the boat handle it? Who knows? It will be interesting to see. I know I wouldn't try it without the best rigging and setup possible.

Yeah but you'r gonna try right John?

Hows the boat doing anyway? Haven't heard anything since it left the shop!

Yep, and maybe some nice action shots too! Hopefully a few more V-Kings will show up.
