Re: Found this for sale if anyone interested
A guy from our race club sold that boat last year. It should have a svs intake on it. The core is original. It was as fast as my vegas with a 2.4 on it the couple times we raced.

Re: Found this for sale if anyone interested
Hello 77 viper I bought the blue Valero was wandering what all you no about this boat as you are right .It did come from Min. The guy I got it from was scared of it Itraded a big fat 55 mph slow boat for it and would like to no as much as possible about it .He says he did"nt change anything but the more I no the faster I go.Had it up to 66 on gps I think it was turning 6200rpm but had hands full as it was starting to chine walk bad . Probly me over corecting well get it down not at all like my 12ft catamaran . Would like to no how fast guy in your race club had it and if he has any info on boat like best prop setup ect .Idont think you guys need to worry about me coming up and racing you anytime soon .I bought to go jet boat and highdollar boat hunting . Not that I dont like other boaters but I no you can gofast on a budget .And besides hydrostreams have beautiful lines like like a Victoria secret model. sorry about spelling I"m a gear head not writer.

Re: Found this for sale if anyone interested
This boat seems like it sure gets around a lot. I remember seeing it once or twice on S&F as well.
It is a nice looking boat though.

Re: Found this for sale if anyone interested
Rut, if you get a chance you should try and make it to one of our events, it's a blast.
I talked to Travis he said to put a 50# of weight as close to the bow eye as you can get it. He was running a 26 trophy plus due to not having a jack plate he didn't try too many over the hub props. He did have the boat flipped and added to the pad so it is now even with the sponsons.
Seat time will help a lot with the chine walking, it's a matter of timing your counter steer.

I"m pretty sure the the boat has found last owner for awhile .But Iam looking for a hustler I have big sea ray for old lady and kids . I think you guys would like my 12ft tunnel havnt gps yet as we r still figureing out where to put throttle but were pretty sure around 55to60 I dont no how you guys feel but sure feels fast in 12fter becoming partial to little boats cheaper to run gas should be cheap like good old days .!! You guys should come down here some summer we have a week long music festival on river front every end off june and I live on one of the biggest poolsin river .Just sold cabin but bought lot next door so always room to camp . By the way if anybody ever finds boat they need help retriving we travel all over iceracing and my be able to help. Old lady hates it but gota keep sane somehow .
