Oh yeah, Here is a bit of video from late in the season last year that I took.

There was no wake being enforced on the river when it was supposed to be lifted so it was a slow day but there is some good footage in there though of him making a quick little pass or two.

Thanks again for the complements, it did turn out better than I expected especially the carbon fiber.

Here is what I started with.


And a little video, this is with a 27 srx just the motor no nitrous.

I should have titled that one different I was not on the bottle. It does make 330 or more, I run a 130 NOS kit in one racing class.

[redneckcustoms13]

ok, so it is essentially just a 2.4 200 with some work done to it and a bottle of gas on it?

Congrats Chet, your boat is a masterpiece. You need to get some new video of your boat and put it up, Everyone would like to see it and I could use the motivation!

I have seen the video of your boat almost rolling over coming out of the hole, but I didn't know it was you! That is totally sick, and I must say the carbon fiber is one of the coolest things I have seen. I echo Speed on the advice you. give. Thanks for everything, you marina pirate!

Thanks, I keep adding to it as I go. In fact I'm changing out the trim pump assy tonight, I would get rid of this three ram setup but my single ram is on my vking. I'm doing this because I added 24volt trim so my holeshot should be a lot better. I have a race this weekend so I hope to get some more vids of a hydrostream kicking some tail.

I just love boats and Hydrostreams in particular. I work on them a good 70 hours a week and still can't get enough.
