    do whatever the heck you want with it, it’s your boat. Some guys like trailer queens, some guys like beat up ol relics. To each his own is how I see it. That said wasn’t Joe Perog supposed to get Greg to take his boat out?

    There is still hope, its not gone yet- We did what we should have done for him or anyone else on this site that is put into the position that he was. It didn't scratch any of us but helped to heal a big cut for Greg. No regrets and I would do it again.

    I didn’t mean to put pressure on the man or make this harder. It was just a hope that some good times out in his awesome boat were still in the cards for him is all.

    Guys, his boat hasn't moved. This post wasn't meant to drum up any negativity, it was just meant to have a little fun. Boat is still in the garage begging to be used and enjoyed. It would be an honor to own it, but it would be more of an honor to drive next to it at an event.
    In reference to the Hydrostream Power Tour:

    Welcome to the Internet.

    I stand by my post. This boat belongs with the Power Tour crew. That group pretty much represents everything this site was made for (OG hobbyists, tinkering, experimenting, finding ways to make old stuff work, and using the hell out of small performance hulls). One of my favorite parts of Three Lakes, was watching the Power Tour crew make runs, and run around the lake. As many things have, this hobby has evolved from shade tree mechanics and garage inventors, to turnkey boats for the open checkbook crowd. Not saying it's good or bad, just what it is. I prefer the former.

    This boat would be the perfect addition to the Power Tour.

    Thanks for the kind words, John. Lots of fond memories for sure. So many great friends we have made due to our love of these boats.

    Beautiful color on a fantastic boat - I’ve driven a few but never owned one - always wanted too but those were different days. I don’t think I know Rich or Wyatt. Let me know if you get up to Crosslake with it.

    I did not vote in the poll, but I am sure Greg has his reasons for the boat sitting. The man has had a lot thrown at him recently in life and only he can decide what is right for him. I am sure we will see the boat make an appearance when he is ready.
