I know that now we drive Hydrostreams, but what is in your past?
I'll show you my old rides if you show me yours.
That's a 1978 Hydrasports, Plamyate 120
It ran a 24 in cleaver, only to 60 mph.
It was a sexy little bowrider though.

That little GW is cool. Here is the old Hustler Wildcat we had. I want to say it was an early 70's. My dad sold in in the late 80's. My dad bought it from a guy that originally raced it and was bought from Hustler as a factory center steer race hull. Super smooth and excellent handling boat. It had an 85hp inline 6 that ran hard but im sure with some better set up like getting the motor up and stuff it would have ran alot faster. Man I miss that boat. Stupid youtube killed the sound.
I cand find any pictures really to save my life of the boat. Might have to go raid mom big ole box of pictures one of these days and find some.

How's the storage on those things?
Seriously, Those are classics,and yours looks minty.
...comment on the Datsun...That thing was weak! It must have put out 60hp., but it ran forever. I drove it for 14 years.

Thanks, there's room for a small cooler

Now storing the boat itself was nice though. Tuck it anywhere.

All right, one more of the 'Sport'.
Next post will be of the next boat. Don't even try to guess, you'll be wrong.
That's us about 25 years ago. Looks like I'm contemplating scratching the surface of my arm.
