Default New addition to the fleet!

Picked it up last week, boat is an '85 Hydrostream Voyager with a '78 Mercury 175 on the back. Boat runs just shy of 60...right now...haha! I've been wanting one for a while and found one the other day. It sure is fun! Anyway, that's all we need, more stuff around here, but what the heck, you only live once! Unfortunately next week I leave for Norfolk, VA and won't be back till January. But, upcoming plans for it are shaving the heads, Boyeson fiber reeds, a jack plate, different prop and give it some more timing. That should get her into the upper 60's. Not too bad for on the water. Anbody that wants to go skiing next summer, gimme a call! That's all tho, just figured I'd share. Later,

Brian

Nice! I have been looking around for a closed bow jet boat with a big block. I'll have one next summer for sure ;-) That looks like a lot of fun!
