Many of us are blessed with good health, and we can oftentimes take that for granted very easily. But life is indeed fragile, and a member of our community need our help for his daughter, Megan. She's facing a very serious medical situation, and one of the things that I cherish most about our community here is how we can all pull together in times of great need. This is one of those times. -- Greg

We can not believe the outpouring of love and well wishes by both our local community and the community of social media.

Incredible 1973 All-Original Hydrostream Vector ▼

This all-original 1973 Hydrostream Vector is owned by Tim Dykstra's family, and has owned it since 1978. The boat appears to be entirely original, including the 150HP Mercury. We've seen hundreds - maybe thousands - of Hydrostreams here, but to find one this old and in this condition is fantastically rare. And, if anybody wants it, it's for sale.

Below is the full text of the ad as Tim has it listed. His contact information is below if anybody is interested. But whether or not you might want to buy this boat, I thought you would all enjoy looking at it. I wouldn't expect a Hydrostream like this to come along again anytime soon - if at all.

Mercury Marine's New 300hp V-8 Verado Outboards To Power Attempt at Marathon Water-Skiing World Record

LA LINEA, SPAIN (May 29, 2018) -- Mercury Marine announced today that the new 4.6-liter V-8 outboard engines it unveiled earlier this month will propel a man's quest to retrace his late grandfather's path to the world record in marathon water-skiing.

Dual Mercury Marine 300hp V-8 Verado outboards will power the Axopar 37 Sun-Top boat that will tow 36-year-old Australian water-skier, Alex Luther, as he attempts to beat the world record his grandfather, Harry Luther, set in 1970. Harry Luther's record still stands today — 5,010 kilometers (3,113 miles) covered in 10 days, 5 hours, and 36 minutes. In announcing his selection of the new Mercury Verado to power the Axopartow boat, Luther alluded to the engine's large 4.6-liter V-8 quad-cam powerhead coupled with state-of-the-art engineering that makes the engine lighter, faster and more fuel-efficient than even its closest V 6 competitor.

Impressive On-Water Displays Highlight Miami Boat Show▼

I will admit, the previous years at the Miami International Boat Show were not as impressive as what I saw ten years ago. The industry had been affected by the downturn in the economy, and it certainly showed. That's not to say that the products introduced during the past few years were anything less than impressive, but it was the overall energy of the show that had been toned down. The attendance seemed to lighten up, and the on-water display of boats and engines seemed to reflect that. There were incredible boats as always, but just not as many. Well, this year it was different.

Once again, Kevin Kearney's incredible photography skills captured the greatest drag boat races of the year in all of its energy, competition, and danger.

There is perhaps no other boat that is so representative of the image of the fast, outboard-powered runabout. It has a unique look that is so distinctive, even from a great distance, there is never any mistaking it for anything else but a HydroStream. When first introduced in the early 1970s, what would become the timeless signature design of the delta-winged classic HydroStream remains as breathtaking in both appearance and performance, as it was over forty years ago.

Pricing for Complete Engines, Powerheads and Parts ▼

By Rick Mackie, Mercury Racing

We have a rich history of producing national and world championship outboard power. The venerable 200XS SST and 200XS ROS have been the go-to power for many a competition racer. However, after many years and many victories, the demand for these products has reached a level where it is no longer efficient for us to produce them as complete outboards. Therefore, the 2018 Program Year will be the final year of production for the legacy 200XS SST and 200XS ROS competition models. We will continue with annual builds of replacement powerheads to support the product that is still in use.
