If you need any decals for your XS let me know i have the real chrome ones.
I also have the small powerhead specs and timing and spark plug ones.
I have sold several sets to Ken (XSKID)

Ron, his name didn't happen to be George Adams ??? Where was his shop located at that time?
George was the local Hydrostream dealer until HS went toes up. I bought my '89 Viper new from him. He got one shipment a year. Helluva great guy. He raced OPC tunnels for many years.
His shop at that time was outside Bothell WA. It had a little showroom area for 3 boats, and a workshop. He had three 1500XS's the last time I saw him, and one he said he would never sell ('77, higher compression). That was many years ago.
He's have to be in his mid-late 60's at least, but I heard he was still working. He just really, really loved it. Sure sounds like the guy.Barry

Hi Barry,
Caprice says that info sounds correct. We are still unpacking and she says all the pictures should be on our external hard drive,.... where ever the hell that is....
I'll update when I can confirm.

I am not Ron, but the shop you are talking about was Runabouts Limited in Bothell, his name is Fredrick Adams, he went by "Fred" when he was selling boats and "Rick" when he was racing.
I bought my Vegas from him back in the late 80's and he is a great guy. The last heard is he had a small outboard repair shop in Anacortes.22' Activator w/ 250xs Merc Opti, back home again

Barry,
No that isn't mine, but I have had a hard time not going to look at it, ha ha. It is a total time capsule of the setup and rigging that Fred did in the 80's
Sorry if this became a hijack22' Activator w/ 250xs Merc Opti, back home again
