To much free time or in a area where gas motors aren't allowed on the body of water he enjoys.

The trolling motor is too much. Is that carpet and a seat post on the bow?

Those Varmints just seem to be hard for most folks to find these days. I've never had any trouble finding mine, it's still out there under the shed...

A previous owner did that to my V21.
Still haven't figured that one out?

The seller mentions Reservoir Rig, so perhaps he's done this due to a restriction on his lake on gasoline outboards. I've fished some smaller drinking water reservoirs that had restrictions. Some had electric only and others had less than <10 horse power restrictions (remember all those 9.9's?).

Why he did all that work to a Hydrostream, maybe he has an attachment or wanted the fastest looking 20mph boat on the reservoir.........

Wish it had close-ups of the outboard and current controller. Gordon

Some one should ask how fast it is! The right 48v forklift motor and easily be beefed up to put down 100ftlbs of tq. It's actually a popular thing to do with guys building electric cars.

And is that a Chrysler leg and lower? Love the dash controls. Forward, reverse, stop.

My favorite thing is the hole in the deck for a pedestal seat and the trolling motor. I just think it would of been a lot easier to just modify an aluminum bass boat.

The front deck is a lot like the Allison XB2002. Both are very narrow and you climb over the windshield to get up and down. There are no lockers, trays, or storage access from the top. On the Allison, there is a small aluminum pole/brace that runs vertically from the seat pedestal base down to the keel to support the seat and deck. The entire deck up front is hollow - built almost identical to what he's done here and like no other bassboat I've owned or fished out of. Gordon
