Looks good! You really need to get that motor raised up and I bet you would get 10+mph out of it easy and it would drive a lot nicer and actually get up out of the water as it looked like there was still a lot of boat in the water there.

Looking good though. Cant wait to watch the progress of this.

Video for those who are craving more Hydrostream. This is in the original configuration. I'm wondering if I'm not going to need more prop somehow. The 2-1 gear case on this v4 seems to possibly be a hurdle.

Nice hydrostream!

That is one nice looking Vamp and for that price heck ya
will probably be my next boat , when the other projects are out of the way

keep us posted with pics and numbers

Welcome! I've never seen that model before....can't wait to hear you top end with the new plate!

Hmm....looks like it is getting sunny out......says 62 degrees for next Saturday...hope the weather man is right!

Welcome .I like the boat but as Hippie said raise the motor and it well be faster and probly handle better . I run a rude to on a Voyager another family oriented Stream and I love it .I'm just right down the Mississippi from you in Burlington .

Raise up that motor and get that prop shaft as close as you can to level with the pad without loosing water pressure (Assuming you dont have nose cona with a low water pick up) and I bet your numbers will go way up! If you cant go any higher on the transom you may need a jackplate but I would bet that a 2-4 inch plate will do wonders as well.

Yep, motor is bolted to the transom and running deep. Definitely want to get a jack plate. I will be working on the setup as long as weather permits this fall. Also will be doing a bit of engine work along the way. Can't wait to make it to a get together next year.
