Hydrostream did put a windsheild on their voodoo, and their mini voodoo. I think it was an option back in the day when Canadian edition made the voodoos. if you can wait untill summer i will take some pictures of the full size voodoos and mini voodoos with windsheilds.

Actually they did produce the classic style curved windscreen for the voodoo...

Iit looked funny tho...cause they did not produce the aluminum rail that tied it into the coaming.

So it looked incomplete...just like the coamings do.

I agree that it sohuld have the classic look too.

Spaith is retooling the deck and removing the large coamings to make it look better...it will resemble a Valero deck next!!

Ilovespeed....Your puttin a yammy on your voo doo???Did you do research on that engine?

There is probably a picture of the Voo Doo windshield on the IHR. I don't like the windshield looks but the price of no windshield is getting wet in rough water.

Yamaha or Merc 60 for a Voo Doo? I did a lot of engine research before I got mine and then ignored everything I learned

The Yamaha 3's are reputed to be great engines but hard to prop for speed on a Voo Doo. A Yamaha dealer told me that the big pitch 70 props have too much diameter for a Voo Doo. The Yamaha 60 & 70 have 2.3 gears, you will need a lot of pitch. The Yamaha 50 is geared at 1.85.

I think the Voo Doo engine of choice is the Merc 60; 1.64 gears, small diameter prop, and the most prop options.

Interestingly I found a guy with some 650XS who refused to sell them to non racers. He said I would regret buying one and come back to blame him.

who can work on a boat in this weather?
my boats are sleeping in a barn

I will post a picture of a voodoo with a windshield .. a guy i know that has one up near apsley ontario has a white voodoo witha 40 merc ... his winsheild broke but i got some pictures from him before it broke ... i was jsut looking at the yamaha because i was interested in what i could possibly get ... i dont know everything about motors ... i dont know much ... and its good to get this information ... the 60 merc is looking as the best engine as of right now ... inclduing the price issues beacause yamahas are pretty expensive ... looking at the 90 yamaha specifications it says 13:26 (2) gear ratio ... the 75 yammy 12:28 (2.33) gears ... the 60 merc 1.62:1 gear ratio ... soo my quesion what does this mean ????? Thanks
