That is a position you don't often see, must have been a nice zoom lens on the sucker or a brave soul (or perhaps suicidal). :D

Guys - don't forget about the original Hydrostream owners group:

http://forums.screamandfly.com/forums/group.php?groupid=21

I plan to add some additional pictures over the next few weeks and have some very special surprises that will be unveiled over the next weeks and months to help winter go by, so stay tuned :thumbsup:

In case anyone forgot about the rules, The Hydrostream Owners Group is an invite only group. The rules are fairly simple and go as follows: The preference is to meet you in person and get to know you and see that you have the same objective as us. We are about friends, fun and Hydrostreams. it doesn't matter if you have a brand new Venom with a 300 on it or a $100 basket case. We all have the same thing in common, that is we love our 'Streams. We are not about who is the fastest or who has the biggest ego. We are about getting together and having a good time. I think by now after over 2700 replies to this thread, most have a good feel for the group. We do not post our get togethers in advance, rather we alert or group that we are getting together and take pictures and videos for everyones enjoyment. Not everyone in the group has met in person. Some have helped over the phone or via email by giving good advice on a technical problem, or helped the group in some other way. Also there are some that just have been such a huge positive contibuter to this great website we all enjoy. We encourage anyone that wants to get involved to get in touch with one of us. We primarily boat in Wisconsin, but down the road may expand if there is enough interest. Happy boating all!!!

other than the trucks that looks like a pic for hydrostream advertising right out of the 80's
way cool :thumbsup:

[mad man]

Well guys I sold the viper. It will be able to stay on the tour though. A friend of my kids and brians was the lucky one to get that one. Looks like I will be runing my kids viking till I come across the one I want . Thanks for all the good reviews . The main thing is we got another good person who loves boating in a HYDROSTREAM.

[halveb]

Glad to hear it went to someone who will appreciate it. Now get that Vking ready. :D

[hydrostreamvking4m]

Im Glad to see it stay close to the group.And its a nice find and cool old stream,
Im sure most will like the kid.And this boat will fit him and his needs well.

I just dont know if he'll be able to hang with the big merc power it offers..:thumbsup:

65 mph is fast now!:D

[baja200merk]

that venus in the first pic is by far my favorite boat on the tour, cool as hell!

[FlowMaxx]

Imagine it with a V8 Loopa :D

[Dynaflite]

sorry i didn't make a run this summer but plan on meeting you guys next summer. kansas is a long ways away.

[FlowMaxx]

Not a problem friend, That is a sweet boat you have there. Just let us know when you can make it so we can plan a get together :thumbsup:

It is hard to get everyone together at once, but having all these streams in the same place is really cool. Hopefully, you, Tim, Jeff and others can make it next year. You guys are still on the list :cheers:

Please post some more pics of your boat!

[hydrostreamvking4m]

Yes
please do post pics..

Because your teasing us now..:D

And if you make it up.You will go home planning on coming again..The Power Tour Is the hook up for The true hydrostream guys...:thumbsup:

[baja200merk]

[Dynaflite]

[Dynaflite]

sorry

[FlowMaxx]

Cool boat, What is that?

[Dynaflite]

Dynaflite, i got it wisconsin when i lived in janesville about 20 years ago

[FlowMaxx]

Small world about Janesville, that is where Brian and Josh live...... got friends and family to visit back home here? good excuse to check out the tour, boat or no boat...

[FlowMaxx]

Has anyone emailed Howard about this? I'm sure he would like to know how his Streams are loved. He may even join the Club.:thumbsup:

[Laker]

Has anyone emailed Howard about this? I'm sure he would like to know how his Streams are loved. He may even join the Club.:thumbsup:

Duke,
If you have Howard's Email.. please let him know! I can speak as a founding father that Howard's acknowledgment alone would be a dream come true for us. Let alone any involvement..:D


Sweet shots of the NY Syndicate!! :thumbsup:

[bearclaw]

He is active in Twin Cities club racing.

http://i48.tinypic.com/29qih39.jpg

Rumor has it, he kept a Virage Turbo for himself as a memento.

Maybe he'll come play with ya!

[bearclaw]

This one was identified to be Mr. Pipkorn in an Allison but I can't confirm that...
Hey, if they're fast, they're fast!

http://i46.tinypic.com/2s6ampt.jpg

[Dukeofchippewa]

I'm looking, I'll let you all know if I get in touch with him.:thumbsup:

[jjmalkow]

Awesome pic Dan!! I've been down for a week, the Venturas napping for the winter.

[Hydrovector]

I posted the picture of Howard in his Allison.
I went to the race in Crosby Mn. It's only 18 miles from me.
I even took my Vixen to have Howard sign the dash.
after meeting and talking to him I changed my mine and went home without him signing it. I will say that howard has owned the Allison for around 40 years.

I'm assuming you are implying that he was rude...?

[hydrostreamvking4m]

:confused:
I think ive read some one's post on the site. That says Howard could care less for any of his boats.(Hydro stream's)

But man i find that hard to beleave..That day your speeking about.Was he busy or something.Please share more info.
As i like many others would truely enjoy speaking with him..

[Dukeofchippewa]

I had a email forwarded to Howard through the TCBA, we'll see if he responds.

[Hydrovector]

He may have been having a bad day!!
I'll leave it at that.

[bearclaw]

He may have not altogether fond memories, considering how it ended.
Because of market conditions, etc., etc., it either folded or he threw in the towel. Was his baby for 20+ years. Maybe it left a bad taste in his mouth.
Maybe especially as he sees the name go on in production today, and he's not a part of it. :confused:

[A-train-97]

or my 16in V6, can you say 107mph cuddy cabin:D

He says that it dose 90 now with the mota that's on it but he didn't have much to say about how fast his boat was when the power tour stoped by?? Thought that it was kinda funny my self. Not trying to rip on the guy, he is my friend but sometimes we all need a reality check.:smiletest: Boat was re-gel-ed two sessions ago. Looks real nice now.

[FlowMaxx]

Wow Adam, good yo see you on here again. He sure has a nice rig, but 90... NO Way. I bet my 85 horse V4 would give him a run :D That rig needs a 3 litre Looper or a strong 2.5 to up some big ##'s If that boat was mine, I would have Laker build me a V8 version of his motor and go 110. Hell I might even have to stuff Schramer up in the cuddy to keep the nose down :eek:

BTW.... Check your emails y'all :thumbsup:

[Laker]

He says that it dose 90 now with the mota that's on it but he didn't have much to say about how fast his boat was when the power tour stoped by?? .

Well he was doing 73mph on GPS when Connor and I blasted by him. :rolleyes:
KEWL Boat tho!! I will do a V8 when I get a Venus for myself!:D

[hydrostreamvking4m]

Ya got me..

:thumbsup:

[FlowMaxx]

That is a good one, it even may have been the restored rigs maiden voyage or one of the first for sure. Those were some great times when we all took our love of Hydrostreams to the next level :cheers::thumbsup:

[hydrostreamvking4m]

Has cobra jet picked out or picked up his new stream?


And Mark.
You guys starting the tour has brought lots of enjoyment to so many.A new level in deed you did..:thumbsup:..Thanks

[nelsoncat]

Jason Huber used to have a Venus with a 260 or 280 that was very fast. We called it the big red MEMBER with the stabbin cabin. I think he sold it to BOS in Canada. It was set up by none other than Randy Pierson

Take care all and Happy Thanksgiving
Craig

[hydrostreamvking4m]

If we have any Power Tour Sledder's you have to see the video That aokia25 sent me.
Sorry with snow on the hydrostream last night it makes us think sleds again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tH1iXWqb91g

Thanks Josh.

[nelsoncat]

you had snow last night? Usually by this time I am praying for a blizzard but I have way to much corn to combine yet and want to enjoy the snow instead of fight it so the 'Cats are all patiently waiting

<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

That's all for now..... It's called "project Merc Killer" and it will be 25 years in the making. It has been in careful caring hands since then. Next summer, it will be DESTROYING 2.5s in the 1000 ft. with a lil ole antique crossflow on the back :cheers:

One more sample and proof of how quick this boat is, if you want more still you are going to have to show at the three lakes shootout in June when it will be crapping out little black turds with red, yellow and orange stripes in them :D:D:D Oh, yes and and antique Hydrostream will be king, not an Allison :)

That's all for now, you will have to stay tuned for the rest.

[BeefKid]

That's all for now..... It's called "project Merc Killer" and it will be 25 years in the making. It has been in careful caring hands since then. Next summer, it will be DESTROYING 2.5s in the 1000 ft. with a lil ole antique crossflow on the back :cheers:

Sorry to hear that bud, hope all is well... Yes, nutz Schram has, brains....well....(just kidding). That boat scared me, thats part of the reason he owns it.

Ontario,

It would be great if you could make it. Last year we had a couple guys from NY show up and Riverman from Winnepeg. It will be worth the trip, Comp vector should be there. Last year we had 13 Streams I think. Would be great to have a few more :):thumbsup:

I don't think you guys have any clue how light this boat is. The deck is as thin as a plastic water bottle. It would sink with a V8 and a Looper V6 weighs more than the boat does....

[nelsoncat]

OK just so my foggy brain is up to speed, was this Dukes Vector?

[hydrostreamvking4m]

Sure was.!:thumbsup:

[baja200merk]

a v6 looper would be fine on that comp, it doesnt weigh any more then that pos hyd plate and the 20in crossflow ;)

it might whoop some ass if its not a weight game, if it had to make weight it would be a different story :eek:

[Dukeofchippewa]

At least the Crossflow can still turn 7200R's after 32 years, better than any merc could do after 2 yrs. without a rebuild.:p

everyone that says they are too heavy have never done it :rolleyes:

loopers 450 a flow is 400 with that plate/pump its close. If you put a looper on a diet you can shed 30-40lbs fairly easily. A barsh cowling and non fast track will get it down more :D

the way things are looking theres gonna be one with a looper on it next to my house :D

I know OMC said 450 but they were heaver than that when actually weighted with a scale... Some where there is a B&WB magazine at my house where JTjr did actual weights of motors with calibrated equipment and found what the manufactures were a little optimistic on the weights they published.

I weighed my Looper 4 at Bakers in 2003 with the same scale they weighed the boats with and it was 417lbs...:rolleyes:

Duno but if your getting 400lbs exactly on a stripped down Looper 6 on a 16 inch mid thats awesome! Must be that southern air is lighter...:eek:

[baja200merk]

mines gonna be heavier till my new cowl goes on it but we will know for sure when i get the motor on the boat and re-weigh it :thumbsup: scales are like compression gauges, no 2 are perfectly the same :rolleyes:

instigators weighed 410 with a heavy taylor mid/sporty no cowl. his frankenrude I on his 500lb vector ran like it was on rails and it would have to be one MEAN crossflow to stick with a mod looper on a light vector. Figuring 50hp a cyl doesnt urs make more then a 235 at the prop? :D

point being comp vector + looper = no problem :D

It feels real good not to run with the crowd and do something a little different than everyone else.

There is NO better place to boat in this state than 3 lakes. There are 15,000 lakes here in Wisconsin :D. Three lakes is a chain of around 20 plus lakes. If that isn't enough there are 9 more over a boat hoist to the Eagle River chain. Each lake is between 200 and 1000 acres making them perfect for what we do. There are some rocky areas, but they are marked and a map can be provided as well as a "follow along when you guys get there :cheers: and looking forward to it.

Clamps are much larger, tilt is larger and thicker and pump housing is larger. Can't see it being lighter, but who knows? Sure seems heavier to pick up!

They Do look heaver, more bulky.. But those side plates are very light, almost hollow. If a fast track is heaver its only by a little.

Yeah I got my mail Saturday with a check from Town of Waterford. I wonder if it was they realized they were wrong or they didn't want to go through the expense of a trial for a couple of silly tickets.

Either way a big thank you to the couple of guys that went to fight it as I think that is what swayed them and I owe you a beer next time I see you. When I return to Tichigan it will be with my modified bladder boat to sink the entire town (of course with the exception of Sean and Bob Albee's houses). :D

Yes it has a different pad than other vectors. Similar to the lines you have drawn. :D

[josh7_78]

I think there is some more info on it in the v-king/vector thread. can't remember what page. But i believe that the strakes are sharpened as well as the pad work like above. There's pics included on the thread so I'd take a look there.

Hey Flowmaxx, actually the Eagle River/Three Lakes Chain O Lakes is 28 lakes in total, 10 in Eagle River/Vilas County 18 in 3 Puddles....The 3 Lakes side is nicer because of less wake areas,less cops, but Less Girls, Less partying, so it depends on what were doing, This year im doing both, I think the Lift is still in operation to go from 3lakes to ER? So who has a Cheap 200 for my Girly Mate????

[BeefKid]

Yes it has a different pad than other vectors. Similar to the lines you have drawn. :D

Whats the advantage or disadvantages of doin that? looks like it is the length of the boat?


I think there is some more info on it in the v-king/vector thread. can't remember what page. But i believe that the strakes are sharpened as well as the pad work like above. There's pics included on the thread so I'd take a look there.

EDIT: class wasn't cutting it for me today so I looked up the posts

Hey guys question? that 350lbs vector... what was done to the pad of that boat anything? i saw a pic somewere and it was different than the others ive seen:confused: it looks like someone cut it to make it more squared instead of concaved... kinda looked like this... this is the other comp vector on here and the black lines is what it thought the other pad looked like

As far as I know they only made this one paper thin vector for Drag racing only.. This is not an oval course or play boat.. Drag Racing only.
Changes to the pad were perhaps to get the hull up and clean off better or perhaps better handling once up on the pad and charging. I could not tell you what was going threw Howard's mind..... And our BEST setup and Tune so far is maybe 60% of this rigs Maximum potential. Getting it into the 90% range wont be too hard. Just alot of Grunt WORK and some $$$ On shrammers part. The last 10%... like the rest of our boats will require serious effort and time... Only then will we know if that bottom makes any difference at all...

[jjmalkow]

Wait a second........... you guys have speed limits and trigger happy cops?????

Two things a hate!

Not too sure now!

NO, not at Three Lakes!!! Down here near the Milwaukee area. Out in the suburbs, you know lots of houses and people who think that they own these lakes, making it hard to get access and all that good stuff.

I see... i cant imagine the boat at its full potential at 350lbs:eek:... Instigator's 550lbs or so ran 101 with a 280/290 hp looper. i saw that the one on here (silver on) in a video raceing roundy round in the video section. i thought that was cool ... would love somethin that light:rolleyes:

[QuarterHorse]

Sooooo......

Since I've got my first 'Stream now, you guys doin' a 2010? I may be in since ya'all are so close to Iowa. :D

[Hippie459MN]

There are a few of us in Minnesota too. :D

[FlowMaxx]

Several of us will be meeting on Sat. to discuss the future direction of the power tour. We will be considering a broad range of ideas as well and working on some refinements and setting a few goals.

To those of you that have participated, thank you for bringing us to where we are today. We are very happy and I think it is safe to say we have far exceeded our goals set fourth a year ago :cheers:

For those of you who we will see Sat, I just got word that the second package will arrive by Friday. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D :thumbsup:

So I get the envelope from the cops saying they dropped everything and that enclosed is a check... But my envelope has no check in it.... SO I call the clerk of courts and she tells me she forgot to write the check. Quote "This is the first time I have had to refund money for Citations" LMAO!!!!!
I guess my check is on the way..:thumbsup:

I was reading that it seemed the local LEO's didn't appreciate some extra income/people in town? That's too bad.

Hey Brian, you out there bud? I have been trying to reach you. Hope all is well my friend.

[bworner]

Flowmaxx how rare is a Varmint Comp? They must be very light with no decking etc, or no? What sport boat is that based on? Dude any really good deals a single dad like me could afford and not redo right away? If not we may see a 200 on the Checkmate, that way I can hopefully go over the 52mph hump..Brannon

I would imagine the Varmint comp is extremely rare. It may be the only one in existence. There are stream deals on here every day, just keep your eyes open. We'd love to have you on the tour but remember, stream only. I thinlk we'd look the other way if it's a stream splash though. :cheers:

Hope you guys are ready to rock and roll...Food is cookin and we're gettin ready. Should be a good time. Brian and Andrew are MIA. 4pm in case anyone forgot, feel free to come early, we'll be here all day.

Looks like we have a few things to iron out prior to making any announcements about 2010. I will not be a part of this any longer unless there is 100% concensus that there will be zero tolerance for drinking and driving the boats. We have started a great thing here and I hope to continue to help improve it, but if we cannot have unity on no drinking and driving you guys will have to carry on without my wife and I :(

I'd like to say a thanks for coming and thanks to everyone that has been a part of this. Also, a special thanks to Sean and Becky for helping at some of our outings and helping with the pictures.

I think we're all adults and can handle that. Performance boating and boozing at the same time doesn't really go hand in hand. I'm sure we can all hold off on the barley pops until the end of the day, or just do it while riding along instead of operating. :thumbsup:

Sean I lost your E-mail i talked your women about a picture i found of a boat that looked just like yours with some pretty sweet interior and told her i would send you them so i figured id post them on here seeing i dont have your e-mail i like it alot well what you can see of it i talked to the guy who owned the boat he said he was going to send me some more detail shots to go off of if you do like it, also i like what he did with the splash well hmmmm winter project? hahahh ill talk to you later bro!

Hey all! Sorry I missed Sat nite but we had our niece and nephew for the weekend. Also I agree that drinking and boating don't mix. I had the best times last summer sober. I feel we can be responsible for an afternoon and if anyone wants to let it rip afterwards that's on them. But on the water we can't take chances especially with the way our luck was with the cops near the end of the year. Don't need anyone getting hurt or pinched. Just my opinion. Later.....

[FlowMaxx]

Thanks JJ, That is how it is going to have to be, or we won't be doing it anymore simple as that. There are a few other things that need to be discussed the next time we all get together.

Rich, We would love to have you in the group, but you gotta get a stream..... You know you want one... Give me a call though, would love to hang out sometime and shoot the breeze......

Congratulations on your new boat look forward to seeing pictures next summer and hearing how it works out for you. To me it seems like a dream come true for Hydrostream fans, a classic boat built with modern materials and processes.

Andrew, there is a factory sale on Venom's until December 31, 2009. If you were ever to get one that might be the best option for you. If you haven't sold your motor that is. If you do I know Brian from Janesville was looking to up the power on his Vking.

I hope there is a power tour this summer and I hope I have my boat straightened out by then too. :thumbsup::eek:

[cobraJET]

have had alot of intrest in the mota still kinda dragn my feet about selln it but their is a venom in lookn at 05 for 8k....hmmmm gloss black ouch HOT

[halveb]

Hey, at least you live in Wisconsin where a black boat is possible. Believe me I know from experience. One thing is for sure though you would be easy to find on the lake. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. Couldn't really argue I wasn't one of the boats on Lake Tichigan, but then again when I tell friends to look for the black HST when river camping they usually don't get me confused with someone else. :D

Get your self that Venom and put your 2.5 on it and fly like the wind.

[cobraJET]

id be joining the 120mph club! if i could drive it

[cobraJET]

WELL HERE IT IS THE 05 VENOM THAT MIGHT BE MINE.... WAITN TO SEE WHAT MY X.MAS BONOUS IS FROM WORK SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO COVER IT.....
