[quote="hydrostream603"]heres a pic of my invader.. :up: and my 5 year old.[attachment=0]DSC02909.JPG[/attachment][/quote]
I had one of these years ago, we painted it Blood Red, I guy in a airplane flew over my and said it looked like a Red fingernail from the air :D

thanks :up:

Yes it is abruiser sweet looking boat :up:

turns out the lower unit is worn on the invader..
is the paint on my hydro considered a "bruiser"

If it is shifting into reverse close to the neutral detent it is most likely a shift cable adjustment. Try moving the round tumbler backwards a couple turns at motor end.

so any one else in nh? i live in barrington. i also having issues with my invader going into drive. gets close and just clicks...

[quote="77viper"]I would say the material cost would be about a grand. the little things after adds up.[/quote]

Wow! Exactly! Just when u think u got it all covered u find more and more that u need. It never ends! But if u take your time and think things out you'll have it exactly how u want it in the end.

Chet hit it on the nose as far as material cost. I had right at $1000 wrapped up in mine before I even finished grinding. I had an experienced guy lay in the new stuff though...so theres some labor investment as well. Nice looking bruiser viper. Theres a few of us around here that run this particular hull a little faster than we should. :mrgreen:

Good luck!!

For what ever it cost to redo the core,floor and maybe transom is well worth it for a lifetime of fun for you and your family, very nice viper and welcome to the forums :up:
