I just bought my first hydrostream yesterday.
1989 vector w evinrude 235.
I have always wanted one of these my whole life and one finally came my way and i made it happen.
i found out fast that im going to need a lot of xd100
where is the best place to get it? i saw a pretty good deal at domo-online for $20/gallon.
all comments welcome please excuse me this is my first post

Good for you. Welcome to high performance boating. You have a well respected rigg. I had a Viking in that same color.

:thumbsup: Nice way to break the ice GR. Looks like you found a nice stream. Make sure you check the stringers and transom, good ole thump test and a moisture test would be the first things I would do. The best ones on the outside can be rotten on the inside. Good luck with the new ride and welcome to S & F :cheers:
