Here is the Hydrostream Sam was talking about. I had a modified 2.4 BP on it from day one then moved up to a 260. I ordered it new in 1986 and had it for 17 years....I should have just kept it?
Sam that was a fun day!!

Thats the boat we talked about this week after looking at the flat spash well.We are building a viking and looked at alot of hydrostream's for how we can build the one we have.
And Mark thats the mod vp hood that we talked about.
The mod vp hoods and the 260 hood's are my all time pics.
Paul.That was one sharp ride there..:thumbsup:
Here is a few more Streams that can be seen on Shawano Lake and one of my STV.

Oh my.....
where have thoes been?....
Wood,:thumbsup:
My old Stream is a YT just like yours. My advise to all YT owners it to have 12" of setback...it really helps!! I also had after planes on mine. It extended the tunnel and seemed to make the boat handle a lot better over 100mph.
really? I was told 8" set back i had plans to get a 10" but every1 said that was to much! but who knows its going to be gone in a week! haha time for a venom!
What are after planes,:confused:
And thats great info.I also have been tring so many differant set ups and just cant get the boat to run as i think it should.And after many hours on screamandfly and reading i have come to the set back as being what i need to add to get the yt to fly.
8 inch is what most are useing but 12 is what i thought would be correct.
This has been in my plans for the winter.But thought id look for a 7 inch set back plate and use my 5 inch cmc power plate. Giving the 12 inch needed.
Can you share info on the props you used and gear case(stock bobs or cle or?) and what gears.
Thanks alot Here..:D
Afterplanes...I guess you would call them trim tabs?
This pic is old but you can see the tabs pretty good

Back in the late 80's when I was running my Bridgeport the boat would run 102 on the speedo when the motor was fresh. When the motor started to get tired I was down to about 98 so I slapped a hydraulic jack plate onto the back of a manual to get 12" of set back and I was right back at 101 without touching the motor. To me the boat felt a lot lighter and more nimble with the extra set back. My friend with the blue and black YT with the OMC on it did the same thing and he picked up a few mph also.
I always ran a 30P cleaver on my YT. YT's have a lot of hull in the water and the cleaver gives you good tail lift. Take a string and wrap it around your boat. You will find that the sponsons are a bit deeper than your pad. Opposite of what you would think. It takes a lot of power and a good tail lifting prop to get a YT to run really fast.
I ran stock CLE's and CLE's with a Bob's nosecone. Both worked the same. I was running a Sporty on that 15" motor. 1.87 gears
What motor is under that 260 hood?
love the vette pulln the hydrostream! schramer any ideas?

This is the info ive been looking for for along time.
Ive tryed so many differant things in set up with no good out come.
The first was a cle(1.87)gears. with ally plate and 5 inch set back and it would run and get so out of shape at 60.
Then was a cle(1.87)gears without the ally plate and same out come.It would pull so hard on the wheel and no fly
Then i went to a stock 2.1 gear case with bobs cone and no plate and it would run into the high 80's.But still would not fly the bow and would pull hard on the wheel.
Right now im running my friends 1.87 case with bobs cone and torch tab
with a 4 blade mazco 6950 26 pitch spining 7000 rpms no gps in the boat so not pos on speed.
And if i drop the motor deep it will lift the bow and pack air and seems to fly ok but without the seat time i haven't pushed it to see the speed
And im running a 2.4 mod vp powerhead under the 260 hood with soft heads so im able to run the 93 oct gas over the 110 oct.
I have to also ask.Does it hurt anything mountting the 2 plates together as you did on your yt.And i can see the trim trab working at low speed However dont understand how it can help the boat on top speeds.
Thanks so much for all your time here.ive for sure have had a ruff time with mind over the last year.But now see what has to be done before spring..
