BOAT IS SOLD And Gone To Canada.






​I have a 1977 Hydrostream Ventura II for sale. This boat was bought new Aug 16 1977 and I bought it from the original owner. It was ordered special from hydrostream and was raced back in the 70's APBA FS Class. I have the single race seat for it also. The boat is a light lay up similar to a comp hull but was ordered with full interior and race single seat. The gell is in good shape with some fading. Some dock rash on the sides. The boat is dry. Transom is solid. Floor is solid with no signs of rot. Never had carpet. Dual cable steering. Never had any holed drilled in dash for gauges. Interior is in great shape and original. This is a very nice 37 year old boat. Trailer is solid and needs paint. I just towed it 1000 miles. Comes with a 6 month old custom ($800.) mooring cover. This is for boat and trailer only. NO MOTOR. 603-568-4166 or 603-724-8798

It can be sold with the 1500 XS J motor that's on it also.

Its a nice piece of history. It has a few battle scars but overall a nice 37 year old one owner boat. Most have been through 10-15 hands by now. As far as other goodies Yes a truck load. LOL

It is a turning fin. He said the boat would slide in the turns until he installed the fin.

It was my buddy's boat, hated to see it go but he needed it gone and it didn't have a place to keep it for myself. Pete got the spare interior he had for it.
had good times in the boat over the years. It ran good last year when we took it out.

Moomba,

Thought you might like to see your old Ventura! Bought it as a bare hull for my teenage son 3 years ago, previous owner had the floor, core done and transom built back up before we bought it and never finished the project. Currently ripping 80+ mph with a 2.5l Mariner 150. Awesome boat and handles great!
Can still see the Red Baron outline in the gel lol.
