2009 Hydrostream Power Tour official megathread

[FlowMaxx]

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5870.jpg

Ok, here it is. We started this off last season and had a blast. This will be the official kick off to the 2009 season.

The concept:

Get a group of fellow Hydrostream owners together and go boating on various bodies of water in and around Wisconsin. We are a unique breed of individuals that really love and appreciate the classic lines and feel of driving a Hydrostream.

The Rules:

Other than the Three Lakes Shootout, Power Tour stops will not be posted in advance on this thread. Persons wishing to participate must contact Laker or myself in advance. We will notify our list of participants of future planned stops in advance (suggestions welcomed). The reason for this is that we want to keep this a Hydrostream Only tour. We dont need any troll's showing up in other boats trying to prove something. The only exception to this rule is Sgt. Laker, who at the present time is serving our country. Sarge and the A-boat are always welcome as our honorary guest.

Our Goals:

- To meet new friends with common interests
- To fully establish the "Hydrostream Owners Group" as a network of individuals that share ideas about their classic Stream's and can get together and go boating
- To get Greg to come to one of our events for a classic Hydrostream Photo Shoot. Greg has a permenant invite
- Get Balzy out of retirement
- To share photos for the enjoyment of fellow distant enthusiasts unable to participate

[Frank Molé]

ok keep me posted :thumbsup: would like to check 1 or 2 stops out :cheers:

[FlowMaxx]

Laker: A true, dyed in the wool, outboard junkie. A true man's man. This guy has outboards and outboard parts in every room of his house. The Garage is dedicated to working on outboards and other 2 and 4 stroke motors. The Family room is an organized storage room for outboard parts. The kitchen table usually is displaying a new outboard cowling or the spot to open new "special packages" form UPS.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5380.jpg

The Boat: a Moonshadow flake 1980 Ventura which Chris completely customized. It features a new core, floor, custom race layout and an enclosed splashwell as well as some "top secret" pad and chine mods.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_4590.jpg

The Motor: Simply put, the baddest V4 I have ever seen. Influenced by 6Killer, Laker has custom built, massaged and assembed a V4 that is truely a force to be reckoned with. Without a doubt, the baddest V4 this side of the "Mason-Dixon Line." Any northern boy that wants to claim this title must take it away from Laker. Oh, and dont forget the Laker one-of-a-kind custom cowling.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5661.jpg

[FlowMaxx]

The Man:

Schrammer: A true speed-aholic. Whatever the vehicle or craft may be, the quest and need for speed will never stop. Off the Water, Schrammer enjoys rifling thru the gears in his late model Z-51 Corvette as well as hunting down good looking females and consuming large amounts of Miller Lite (not wile driving of course :D)

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5856.jpg

The Boat: A Orange Metalflake '76 Vector that has been clear coated and completely redone with new core, floor, guages, shifter and new interior.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5656.jpg

The Motor: Built and Assembled by Chadwick himself. One Bad Azz V6 Crossflow. With a smile this big, you know it's gotta be something good:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5733.jpg

[FlowMaxx]

The Man: My Brother and Schrammer and my boat mentor. He took me for scary rides in the Vandal that our Father bought new in 1978. Schrammer sat on the end of his pier since he was in diapers watching and biting his nails. Bill is the Eldest and longest standing Hydrostream owner in the group. He has been flying Streams high since 1978.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_4960.jpg

The Boat: A Pristine example of an all original 1991 Vegas XT. This boat is garage kept and Flawless. The interior is as new.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5532.jpg

The Motor: The lone "black motor" of the group. A carbed 2.5 200 just dying to be massaged or replaced with and ETEC :D All kidding aside, a great running motor.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5471.jpg

[FlowMaxx]

The Man: Jeff is the Newest official member of the group. His passion about outboards has stemmed from early childhood when his Father worked for a local OMC dealer, Growing up, JJ heard the sounds of small putt putt outboard being tested and tuned in the custom ventilated test barrel in his Dad's Garage. The Long standing dream of owning a Classic Hydrostream has recently come true.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_6609.jpg

The Boat: A Very Nice all original '81 Ventura. JJ recently got this rig without power after what seemed to be an endless quest for a Classic 'Stream

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5518.jpg

The Motor: Crossflow V4 88 Special. This motor will soon receive special treatment including 135 heads and Big Bore carbs for the 2009 quest for 60 MPH. V6 next year :D

[FlowMaxx]

FlowMaxx - At 4 years old, My Father, after much influence from my older brothers, purchased a brand new Hydrostream Vandal from a Local Wisconsin Dealer. Most of my childhood was spent watching and dreaming about the lake and boating. Besides Hydrostreams, I collect antique outboards, I enjoy waterskiing and In the downtime Play a little Guitar and Bass (yet another thing I and the rest of the crew, besides Schrammer, have in common)

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_6536.jpg

The Boats: The one that started it all. Years ago, after high school, and years of the three of us pounding the old 85, it needed some freshening. Since Bill had recently acquired his then dream boat, I purchased the boat from my Dad and Freshend up the old 85 Crossflow which after thousands of hours, is still running strong:

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_5544.jpg

The Viking: Yes, this one is a Viking, not a V-king. Daredevil color scheme, this boat was previously owned by Big Willy for about ten years before I got it. It had a tired old 175 on it at the time which has since been freshened up and is now a Strong runner:D:D:D

Frank, We would love to have you join us for a stop or two. Baja16 and Streamin 101 from Northern NY are planning on coming to the Three lakes Shootout at the end of June. That will be the Primere boating event in Wisconsin this year. Maybe you could round up Greg to be a passenger and do some photo shooting :thumbsup: Oh wait, He has a Hydrostream doesn't he???:D:D:D:D:D

Thanks guys, Unfortunately I think the Cassville event will conflict with our second Three Lakes trip. Keep me posted, perhaps we can work something out. And ALL streams are included.

[FlowMaxx]

Great thread. How fast is the Hydrostream with the worked V-4 Etec?

I will say it is VERY fast and leave it at that. Perhaps it's pilot will elaborate?

Now that is SWEET. A V8 rude on a Vulture. You still got it? Tell us about it.

[BUZZIN' DOZEN]

Nope It's long gone. But she was bad back in her day, a legit 100mph rig back in the 80's, notice the top of the hood is perpindicular with the river bank, it was dialed in!!:thumbsup:

[FlowMaxx]

I would be begging you for a ride if you still had it :thumbsup:

[Miss Isle]

Hey Guys,

I think it's cool that you get together and run on some of many lakes in Wisconsin. I happened to drag my Voyager Xt up there several years ago to spend the 4th of July with my wife's uncle. It rained most of the time and was cloudy the only day that we were able to get the hull wet.

We found a natural lake near Stoughton to play on. I have to say, that was absolutely the most nerve racking adventure I've ever been on. I'm used to high speed runs on a river. I'm either meeting a boat on the right, just like the highway, or I'm passing a slower boat. Either way I can expect what their doing and they can expect what I'm doning. One caveat, Jet skier's are like pecker gnats.... there always around and most of the time you can see them, but there's always one that manages to fly in you mouth!!!.

When I was on this lake, I could not really let her fly as there were boats zipping around, kinda toward me, kinda away from me , maybe they see me, maybe not. I don't think anyone was used to seeing the speed that I was traveling and how much time it takes me to slow down or turn. I was very careful not to put myself in a risky position, but I must admit, there was not much opportunity to really fly. Maybe I'm just stuck being a "River Rat".

hahahahahaha:D... you guys cant get a break cant you!!! There not gonna be handing out tickets at Three Lakes are they:p

[FlowMaxx]

No way. The Three Lakes event is for charity to benefit the great folks at the Three Lakes Fire Department. They love us up there and pretty much get free reign on the lakes (20 lakes with 106 miles of shoreline). There is a boat parade the evening before the race. We hope to have the hydrostream portion of the parade well represented. You guys in for sure?

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/FlowMaxx/100_3244.jpg

[Baja16]

You guys in for sure?




Hopefully, i know Streamin pumped to go. I've got to rebuild the motor in my truck (got a bit of a knock:eek:) and then finish the 2.6... but i should get that all done by June:thumbsup:

[FlowMaxx]

FLowMaxx...Why must you tease this poor boy!!!! Where is it how much huh, huh, come on spill it!

[jjmalkow]

So....... just wondering how many Streams are in this tour?

Correct me if I'm wrong but is this a private gathering?
I'm allways looking for a huge Hydrostream gathering close by, something like the rumble but for stream owners but all the events like that are small groups and it wouldn't be worth the drive cuz I can just go to the cottage and run with 12-14 Streams on any given weekend.:smiletest:

Don't get me wrong....just looking for a wack of you guys to run with.

[Laker]

Great thread. How fast is the Hydrostream with the worked V-4 Etec?

I can keep up:rolleyes:

Hey JJ think i may have found you a brand new 100GT/XP cover...

i know some of you guys know i'm building a 2.6, and while at work (a Evinrude dealership) i as lookin up engine covers and found that OMC/BRP have left over covers from back in the day and i found that they had 4 new 87' GT150 covers for 250$ so i grab one for my 2.6 project.

So for fun i looked up 100XP/GT covers for different years and it said they may have left overs, i will go to work to tomarrow and call them and see what they still have... do you perfer and Evinrude or Johnson? I will let you know what they got...

[FlowMaxx]

The power tour is going to need one. We have guitar and bass covered :D

thanks it was really an old crossflow 110 or 115 what ever:confused: got the cover from the shop i worked at. damn thing was WFO all day:eek: ofcoarse it was only 50mph@5300 or so :rolleyes: but what do you expect from a 14yr old:thumbsup:... NEVER had a problem with it:confused: it would look damn good on that black vandal:iagree:

[Baja16]

Ok i called BRP today and they said to call back on Friday cause their office is closed till then:(

Anyway i hate to hijack this thread and turn it into a Hood thread, but when i look up these covers it doesnt come out and say the color or if its a XP/GT decaled... I looked up a 1990 100hp Johnson the model numder is J100STLESB the S in the number stands for special styling which means it is a GT cover but i'm not sure if its white or grey... Did they ever make a white GT100 motor in 1990?

[Baja16]

i'm almost postive its grey but not a 100% If any bodys got an old 1990 Johnson catalog please look and see what color they were... we are an Evinrude dealer before they combined both names so we only have evinrude catalogs from that era...

[David]

1990 Johnson brochure shows the 100 GT in dark 'metallic' gray.
My 100 GT is a 93.

[Baja16]

Good deal probly is gonna be grey then thank you!! Does your model number start with J100STL...

when is your first outing? I bought my first hot boat nov.07. an 83 voyager out of mobile alabama. I was at three lakes shootout this year with her. If you follow the links on there web page, there are a few good shots of her. she's black and red with a merc 200 on her. I'm pretty strick about keeping her as original as possible.


Is this you? This boat was parked right near us in the pits, never got a chance to meet the owner

You know if the old ford doesn't make it you will never hear the end of it :D:D:D:D

Streamin' you better help him out. Lots of work to be done before June. We will start planning soon :cheers:

[JWS]

repowerin with similar 3 liter OMC (too dumb n stubborn to switch). Mild porting, evolution front half (maybe), lite cut heads, lite pistons rods,etc.. Just da usual chit.

it would make it as is... i bought the truck with the knock a year and a half ago with 103,000miles and it now has 114,000miles... we thought it was a stuck lifter so we put a set in last year and it didnt go away. So our new theory is one of the pistons has some play were the wrist pin goes thru it, once the it warms up it mostly goes away... it has 50+psi oil pressure idling so cant be a rod or something... i'll find out in a few weeks...

anyway the ol' ford will be at Three lakes with a vector hopefully with V6 power but if it dont get done in time i'll run the 110...

Where about's on Castle Rock was that pic taken? I buzzed that lake up thru that resort under the RR bridge but I don't reconize the location. Are you way up the river some where?

My 25 Elim was about the right size the day I was there. Your Stream must be a handle full on the weekends.

If ya go north on the lake off to your left theres a free "small" boat launch before ya get to the RR trussels at the mouth of the river.Alot of parking only one dock,But SSHHHHHHH!! its a secret:DNot too much free on that lake anymore:nonod:
Well I usually have the whole family with during the day,so my high speed fun is not to often,if its me and a buddy making a soda pop run to the store Ive probably drove it harder than I should of and have caught some Grief on here about it.The HST is a real easy boat to drive,I just trim the hell out of it and keep that nose high:eek:I ran my vking on that water all day I would say that was a HANDFUL,pretty fun though.I hang out at Alcatraz ALOT!!Alot of sitting ,Gas was a BEOTCH last year!!!After 6 pm or so the lake really calms,I play up river alot too when I get tired of the mouths at the Island.The river is nice ,alot of sand Beach,and its a blast runnin them Bouys:thumbsup:If ya come up this way get a hold of me ,we"ll have some fun:cheers:

Hey Dude, I know where you boat, but where do you live? Reason I ask Is I live in Portage, and run a marina in Wautoma,wi....The cool thing is we just opened a small satelitte location on hwy 13 and cty c, in the town of Big Flats? Im not familiar with this area cause im from the Eagle River area...Unfortuately im a couple years behind you guys, so im running a little Checkmate Enticer, slightly overpowered with a 140 Johnnyrude, yes us Wisconsin Johnnyrude guys are everywhere.....Im making it as fast as possible but hey it can be the boat at the events this summer that has the all important Hot Girls in it.......Laker,Flowmaxx have helped me with ideas and since im from 3 Lakes originally (Highschool) me and a couple other boating buddys are runnin up there for sure, its 1 of the best bodies of water in the country.....18lakes on the 3 lakes side all in a chain, and then 10 on the Eagle River side, it makes a lake seem really boring, plus its very very low on Piggys, so "soda" and "other fun" is pretty much legal, unless you get caught.....For sure though we all need to meet up, I'll just be the slow guy on water, on land that may be different...Brannon 920-295-2069 ANYTIME

[FlowMaxx]

What this is really about is just a bunch of fellow Hydrostream owners going boating together. This is not an event like the Rumble or other similar events. Just a bunch of friends with similar interests checking out new lakes, meeting new people and having a good time. This is not an organized event, we will simply discuss when and where to go and everyone that wants to show up, will show up and hopefully good times will be had by all. This is not a race or anything of the sort. This is also why it is not a public thing. We want to limit it to just Hydrostreams. We will show up at The Three Lakes Shootout at the end of June and may show up to Koshkonong (if it happens this year). We just thought it would be cool and something different to get a bunch of streams together and have some fun whether it is 5 of 50. As long as participants are good respectful people, they will remain on the contact list. We have boated on just about every decent lake in southeastern Wisconsin. We are open to suggestions for stops within 250 miles of Milwaukee. This would make for reasonable drive distances for our friends in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and Minnesota. We do have some friends from upstate New York that are coming to the shootout. So far, we have several people who are interested :)

[Laker]

To add to Flow Maximums mission statement.
If we get a ground swell of interest that is going to show up at the 3 lakes shootout, or Kosh (If it happens) we may do something special. Example… Longest tow award, Fastest Hydrostrem award… ect….
Otherwise we are about meeting at a suitable lake and having a great time. Nothing more and nothing less.

Ok guys, If I need to get a 'Stream to be "too cool for school" then keep me updated on a Hull, as you guys know all I got for propulsion is a 140, that dude on that Skeeter Viper was totally insane at $4,000 with that crappy tower of power 90, to me thats a rip off, mainly cause of my job....But if a guy can get a hull for cheap, ill send it to Door County for the new guts treatment....Seriously keep me in mind.....See ya in Milwaukee.....

[Damyankee]

Just wouldnt be the same with a Black Motor on the back. I do have my eye on a 140 V4 looper that would be great for the boat, can't get him to turn loose of it yet. Maybe before the end of the year

always liked that lil vandal with the 3 C motor on it :cool: i remember him talkin all kinda chit to ronnie (viper)... cool lil boat :cheers:

where the hell do u guys find all these nostalgic cowlings? RS, CCC, second effort etc. :eek: makes me want to loose the new style cowling on mine :eek:

[bworner]

hey Flowmaxx what makes that your favorite hull? Would my XFlow 140 work good on a Vandal? Seriously keep your eyes and ears open for me....also I Im"d you about decal opinions on my motor....I went into Liquidnirvanas web pics and looked thru all of the 2nd effort stuff, did OMC ever make a RS V4 or something.....I like the RS decals, also, I noticed every race motor had the out of water exhaust,even Lakers, besides noise does it add some low end like a car or bike? I cant wait to Chit Chat with you 2 at the Show,Im warning you I can be a Little Hyper, but im sure you never noticed.......I had your # but not sure where it went, I wanted to talk to you about your Bro.....

[OntarioStreamin]

Heres some shots!

[bworner]

Andrew that thing is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see that it has a touch of LIFT?? theirs literally no hull in the damn water, did you simply trim her out at like 50 or 60? Is your center steer a option or? See since Im a single dad their has to be room for stuff, young 20 yr old college girls,my 9yr old and a buddy,and typically a cooler ......I know you guys are all more performance only boaters but I want a boat that does it all good....If my little 'mate was faster Id be happy, my son didnt like me bunny hopping the wakes much, those checkmates may be slow but they ride smooth as hell.....Anyways bounce my statement off of the boss man and keep your eyes open for me, Sincerely

[Riverman]

Hydrostream Canada will build anything you want - super light, infused with kevlar, just ask!

[P man]

lol Andrew was movin pretty good in that pic... mid 90's
That boat stays pretty dry

[David]

If you need room for stuff and 20 year old college girls, you could get a Valero, a Vegas or even a Voyager. I bet a Voyager could be build lighter and stronger than any random old Vegas.

Brannon DUDE... What have I been telling you???!

rockman69 has a VKing that needs to be redone. Make it clean, light and straight and your 140 flow4 will impress.
See you at the boat show:thumbsup:

[FlowMaxx]

Ontario - That is one NICE stream..... Great pics

Brannon - Any 14-18 foot v bottom hull would work good with your 140 except the vixen. Talk to Chynwalkr on here, he has a 140 on his. REAL stable. Riverman on a viper. Looks real stable

Riverman - Hope to see you at the shootout.

Bill - it is about time you posted something

Kid - CCC is from Rob. RS is "a work in progress"

Hippie - looks good

Thanks guys.

Just the hoods. There were some pretty cool factory race hoods for the V6 crossflow. I would love to find an original, but doubt if there are any good ones out there to be found. I switched the striping on the CCC to be correct. The RS is an old 150 cowl which I added louvers to. Needs a little more work though. I have a Cowling addiction :D Stay tuned.

Don't think we can ever have too much fun, as long as there's Streams and 2 strokes involved!!

This year is all you bud. I needed a good year of boating last year to keep my mind occupied after losing my father. Glad you made it home safely. I am sure there will be a few "stories" to tell.

[jjmalkow]

Schammer, hope you didn't lose your rubber glove in mexico!! I think i know where one might be if you need one!! Seriously, hope you had an awesome time, I luv it down there!

[Dukeofchippewa]

Wish I could be there. I'll be there in spirit.

[Bob A]

Count me in with the Vasseret. Do I get extra credit points for having the Fast Stroke 150? If things go as planned I will have new Voyager with big E-Tec. I'll keep the Mercs on the race boats.

[Schramer]

I personally took it very hard as well and have a permant shop vac to PROVE it! We lost a truly amazing person but after seeing what he let you do at his crib with your boat I'm sure he is upstairs right now wondering why the hell you aren't down south driving it right now!

[Schramer]

And then you will have to deal with ME:reddevil:

Here we Go! The day you beat me with your insane "should be illegal" e-tec is the day I allow you to take my boat into the middle of the lake and pull the plug!

Certainly Bob, It would be great to have you on the tour :thumbsup: You know of any bodies of water around here where we won't attract any unwanted attention?

[Bob A]

About the only one around would be Silver Lake just south of Hwy 50. They actually welcome fast boats. We test the race boats there and the police have come and have asked for a ride. Also good watering hole at launch on south side of lake.

[Michael J Giesler]

How about petenwell flowage no cops at all p.s bring it bob a

:iagree: I bring my boat there alot and have never had a complaint

[jjmalkow]

Flowmaxx I forgot about this lake. We should for sure put it on the tour, good watering hole and food like Bob A mentioned...know some people on the town board too. Think i remember a Stream being moored at the bar on the south end....Viking and Merc I think. in spring they some times have high water issues and no wake..so we'll have to monitor it.

Bob! For sure. No extra points for Horse power but you do get a thumbs up for having a OMC:cheers:
