Missing Hydrostream found

[outasite]

Back in 1980 my friend and I ordered two new comp Vikings together.We drew straws for the lightest one (I lost) consecutive serial numbers,same color,both rigged the same.Only difference was I ran a speed master and roger ran a unit built by merc for a short time, it was a 1500 1.78 with a v6 drive shaft.Any way due to famly stuff he sold his years ago.Now at age 75 he is ready to step back into a V bottom!!!.A year or so ago the search was on for the (Pressure Cooker).IT HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!! Sitting in a milk house painted red,white,and blue after a light blow over.Negotiations are ongoing,the goal is to get the "Sisters" back together again.Heres a few pic of the Cooker back in the day.

Bob, That is an awesome story and some great old pics!! We love these old boats, there is nothing quite like them. It would be great to meet up with you guys in the future. We have a few Hydrostream get-togethers every year over in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Please keep posting pics if you get them. This is the kind of stuff that gets some of us through the winter.

That's a great story and I love the photos! A few years back my first Hydrostream turned up on this site by its new owner looking to restore it. That is so cool!
