Im pretty sure I know who you speak of and he is bugging me non stop to get working on it. Now all I need is a few nice warm weekends between work and I can get this ball rolling!

Sure did. There is even more pictures on that other web site of it.

If it ever warms up out and stops raining here I can finish up some minor body, gel, and paint work on the back area then get that darn motor hung on there.

But its so dirty and ugly right now. It needs some paint big time and the lower unit needs some attention so might see of Rev.Ronnie (Ron Flood) can give me a hand with that once I get the motor on there. If he is up the task anyways. Or if I can find someone else that I dont have to ship nothing too to fix it up for me. Bad body work job on the nose cone install. Not my handy work though. lol

ahhhhhhhhhh then we can see the BEFORE and AFTER pics.........................glad you thought of it..................

Does anyone have a 15' Hydrostream Spirit of 76' Viper with the double bubble front window? Or at least some photos.

Looking for some opinions on mercury clamps/trim units.

My '83 has a single ram unit and the trim pump is in the boat.

I am debating on picking up a spare powerhead that I believe has a trim/clamp that is 3 cylinders with the trim pump in the clamp.

Is there any benefit to running one over the other?

Heres an article I came across on a HST with a V-8

The 3-ram is much easier to rig and works well on Streams because of the limited space behind the rear seat but the 3-ram isn't better than what you have so I wouldn't change it. I would be interested in buying that 3-ram mid if you just want the powerhead.
