    Question Who owns this boat?

    I was going through my backup drives of archived photos and came across this photo from the Alva River Run back in 2006. Does anybody know who owns this boat? I'd really like to know more about it. It's really well done!

    Looks like it has some serious pedigree.

    Agree with Mugs...wish I could claim it.

    Looks like a hydrostream with a hard on! My original comment was a 4:43 AM a couple years ago, no wonder I don't remember ever having seen it before!

    ...looks like a "Twister", made by Luxury Marine, in Pompano Beach, Florida...back in the 80's... They came out of a mold that belonged to someone else though, previous to that.

    I was going to say Powercraft. Those raised coamings meant to merge in to a wrap-around windshield and the upturned bow. Several of them were in OPC in the late 70's.
    Per Rock:

    "Once I bought my first Hydrostream boating changed forever for me."

    Per my hero Instigator:

    "I try not to let common sense interfere w/my boat buying decisions."
