Thank you!
I like that idea!
Your gonna be in the water real soon !!

So glad to see you nearing the end of your project !!
I like the drain plug, what kind is it?
Won't be long you'll be Streaming !!!!

Got the base layer of glass in that the core will set on. Then once the core is down, will cover it with another layer of glass, doubling over in the pad area. Have rough cut my stringers from the Corelite panels. Changed up the design of the stringers a bit and copied the basic layout from a member...

I like that video. Love the I6 motors.
Even before GPS there was still a bit of math that would get you close to approximating speed. Pitch/gear ratio/ rpm, variable being slip.

Next I glassed the transom plug into the boat with 2 layers 1708 between the plug and the hull skin, again CSM facing the skin, and the other facing the plug. Then had pre drilled holes and bolts, clamps etc... set up to clamp it in place. Made peanut butter thickness putty to fill the open areas tr...

So next I made my transom plug to be glassed into the boat, then glassed it in place. I cut the first Corelite panel into 4 pieces, 39"x17" in size, then stacked them, clamped them together, then marked and drilled 1/8" holes every 2" all across the board stack. This was to allow...

It's been a while since my last update... :oops: Bought all my glassing supplies from UScomposites, 635 thin set epoxy 3:1 Medium 12 gallons (9 resin+3 hardener), 11 lbs. milled fibers, 3 gallon pail of Cab o sil, 25 yd roll of 4" belt 1.5 oz CSM, 25 yd roll of 50" wide 1708. Corelite boar...

Just installed my transom and it looks similar to yours now with plugged holes and patches, etc on the back side. I am going to clean, sand and make it flat, then a layer of glass over it. Then get it prepped and ready for when the boat gets painted. This picture was a practice fit with clamps in pl...

I have been saving pictures of back seat set ups and some of them look crazy simple. I like the back to back seats that came in the older Streams. Like in the Blue one below. More of a high back bucket. Would like a set for my Vector...someday...not sure, but may have to put the Vector up for sale....

Really like the new look!!!
Great job, well done!!

I'm no FB fan either.
If one is interested in having, building, restoring a Hydrostream....THIS is where the information is.

Thank You Kevin for your hard work to keep this going!
