    Wanted - Hydrostream bicentennial

    Hello! I'm looking for a hydrostream bicentennial - any condition. I'd prefer one that doesn't need total restoration, but am fine if that is my only option. I'm in Michigan - and am willing to drive quite a ways to get one. Always wanted one - now it looks like I'll finally have a place to use one and of course, none are available! Hope to learn more from this site and find my dream boat!)

    Don't know if it's for sale or not, but I know where one is that has been sitting in a barn for 20 or 25 yrs. I believe it has an inline 150 on it as well.
    I'll check in to it for you. Might take a while, the guy works long hrs, just give me some time.

    I agree, the Bicentennial is the ultimate Viper. I would love to have one although I am very happy with the one I just acquired. Did other models come with the Bicentennial paint scheme?

ID:	360944Both of these pictures are of my Bicentennial that I bought brand new over 40 years ago. The flag run was 10 years ago at Jasper, TN, the other picture was this past June.
