    1986 Hydrostream Viper....THE SQUIRT!

    I am having mixed feelings about this but I think its time to let one of my babies go as I own tooooooo many! This boat is stunning and the cleanest of ant of my boats.....I will miss her but I'm too busy with my business to even drive this more than once a year so it needs to go to someone who will appreciate it and enjoy it!

    Description:

    • -1986 HSP Viper (Original boat with original gelcoat and interior)…..Originally built for the owner of M&W Marine in Milwaukee (A big seller of Hydrostreams back in the day and the guy knew Howard fairly well) Boat lived all of its life with a V-4 on it till I bought it.


    • -Believed to be a ONE-OFF color scheme


    • -Bottom pad straitened and sharpened up a bit….. gloss black gelcoat added to the pad and surrounding area to monitor possible stress cracks in the core (zero so far)


    • -Brand new trailer with L.E.D.’s


    • -Brand new Livorsi Gauges with GPS speedo w/ recall


    • -Brand new Sea Star Pro hydraulic steering


    • -Brand new Bob’s 4” hydraulic jack plate


    • -Brand new matching (trailering) custom cover


    • -Hot foot throttle


    • -Rex marine shifter


    • -Blinker trim


    • -Custom steering wheel


    • -Lowered front seats


    • -Much more that I'm sure I am forgetting



    The price is $6500 less power. I have more money in this than I am asking as well as the hundred+ hours that I have into making it perfect and rigging it that are not accounted for. I may also consider selling the motor, or motor with out power head but haven't figured out the price on it as it has so many special things involved through and through, it is a big bore mod crossflow. Call to discuss.

    262-573-six six seven seven (Cant always talk during the day for long periods but can @ night)

    **ALSO, if you are patient I may be able to get this boat delivered to whoever buys it for a reasonable price but will have to work out the logistics**






    I have a boat or two.... that I never get to drive

    Very Cool
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    What are the tunnels on the side of mid above the ex snout? Probably the mic on the go pro? But that thing sounds like it is 4 stroking.

    Guys, this boat is original and mint. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer original Viper out there.
