2004 Hydrostream Voyager with 300XS

**Rynobull** · 09-16-2017, 12:59 PM

Let me start off by saying I thought I would own this boat for many many years. I searched for this combo for over a year!! With that said, we know how circumstances can change fast. My wife and I didn't think we could have children but a miracle has happened. Now while this boat is perfect for a small family, my wife has a huge family and keeps wanting to invite everyone boating. This Voyager is great for 3 adults and 2 or 3 kids.... but 10 adults, not so much!! Very sad to be listing her.

2004 Hull.
2010 Mercury 300 XS with approx. 460 hrs. (PM service done 4/16)
I have the scanned hours from when I bought it with 428 hours somewhere. Something like 80 hours under 600rpm, 150 hrs between 600 and 1500 and another 70 up to 3000 rpm. I can get exact scan from my friends marina if anyone is very serious, but most all of the hours are at the very low rpm range.
We used the boat a lot this summer, really just idled a lot looking at new lakes and houses. We just enjoyed sitting and relaxing idling around listening to music.
New smartcraft gauge (10/16)
2012 Continental aluminum tandem axle trailer with swing away tongue fits in most garages (springs replaced 4/16)
Custom Bimini top
Hydraulic jack plate (new pump installed 2015)
Hydraulic steering (Helm pump and ram replaced in 2015)
Mercury Pro Max props, either a 28p or 32p
Custom canvas boat cover, original, a few small tears but a few years left of life yet.
Custom canvas engine cover
Custom drag foil that reduces the porpoise that these hulls had between 20 and 36mph. Now jumps on plane very fast and flat and doesn't porpoise at low speeds.
Nice stereo with subwoofer.
Has ski pole and pretty much everything you would want in an open bow run about performance boat!

This boat will run 80s all day loaded with 4 adults and coolers. 2 people and a medium load is low 90s. Very light load will hit 101mph gps speeds.

Fall price reduced: $23,000

Located in Cadillac, MI.

If I store it this winter, I will replace the air pump assembly and get the injectors cleaned and flowed and bump the price up accordingly for the spring!

Thanks

Cruise ships are what you use to take a group of ten or more boating. Don't let her take your toy away-they never get replaced as easy as they get sold. Congrats on becoming a future father "nothing better".

Nice boat, it will sell. I bought a 30 foot bowrider this summer, I would have kept my checkmate also but I find it hard enough to find time to use 1 boat. I average 8-10 people whenever I go out now. Wife is happy.

My wife is pretty cool, let's me buy and sell toys whenever I want! I'm very excited to have kids as I didn't think it would ever happen. Next year will probably be a tritoon with a suzuki 350 or verado 400 as that will get more use for our family.
