Crashed my boat

**bullhead00** · 04-02-2021, 10:30 AM

I have a 1988 Hydrostream Valero YT Bowrider that was in mint condition. I'll have pictures up later today. I'm wondering whether or not I should have it redone and if there is anyone out there that could fix it. I'm located in the Florida panhandle area. Pretty devastated about this obviously.

Yeah man she was gorgeous too. I'm just hoping it's not a total loss.

Throw some pictures up ... What happened ? You OK ?

My dad owned a Hydrostream Vasserett with a 200 ProV Yamaha when I was in grade school through college. I think it was an '87.

Mine is an 88 Valero YT Bowrider with a 95 Mariner 2.5L Magnum EFI 200hp. Has 6" Atlas hydraulic jack plate. Ran like a top. Thankfully no one got hurt.

Definitely fixable. I lost a trailer off my ball one time and it smashed into the back of my truck. Did a real similar thing. Sucks, especially right after you get done rigging it and its super clean...

And I got it fixed to where you could not tell anything happened. But...we have one of the best fiberglass repair guys ever local here, so I'm kinda lucky. Not cheap though. Definitely cheaper to find a new hull, but sometime we get attached to things...

Jack Barsh at Full Throttle will fix that and make it look like it never happened. He’s in Florida.

**kellytheaker** · 04-02-2021, 06:33 PM

If your close to full throttle and he has time and considers it doable your lucky and no one hurt - sorry to see but he is well spoke of here . Hope this helps

The Story?

**RNM018** · 04-02-2021, 07:46 PM

Looks like it was run up between some poles ! I'm sure Jack can fix it . It's just going to be more of a question of if he has time to get it done .
