what kind of cover is that?

Nice work man looking at one hopefully I buy one

Sweet boat

Hard work! Lookin forward to see u start the rebuild process 👍🏻 Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪

My father had one of these a 89 vking with a 200 v6 Johnson man I miss that boat everyday the resto was too much to take on the time everyday we miss that boat

I have the v4 Looper 140, and im not getting any spark. I just got a new power pack and a used stator to see if that helps

Nice work. It's good to see your doing it right. You are working on what makes a Hydrostream different from other boats. That is the flat keel. rather than a centered V keel, the keel is flat.

The core is balsa wood. We put it in the hull to re-enforce the bottom of the hull. Where it was black, it where the hull met the water at 100 MPR. Built these Hydrostream boats, back in the early 80's. When you cut the stringer, make sure it reaches the plywood floor. The floor is the support for the keel.

The good news is the more rotten the core is the easier it comes out!

I have a 1980 Checkmate Diplomat with 115 hp 2 stroke on the back

Love what you're doing. Can I interest you in some protective eyewear and a breathing mask rated for fiberglass particles. Nasty stuff when it gets in your eyes or lungs. Work safe my fellow Hydrostream owner.

being that the core stretches from the bow to stern, wouldn't you want a continuous piece as to maintain rigidity?

Great content and looking forward to the next video. Much love to ya brother from Maryland❤❤❤

Awesome boat great repair 😊😊

Nice undies

I’m currently taking the core out of my 76 Hydrostream viper. Looking forward to see how your restoration goes.

New subscriber here. Keep up the great work and dedication to the channel and it shall grow. Anyhow good job on the content and if u can make the videos longer that would be awesome. Much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤

Hell yea brother. Cant wait for more videos to come. Great job and much love to ya bro from Maryland❤❤❤ oh and we need longer videos brother😂😂😂

Please wear a mask when cutting and grinding fibreglass, looking forward to further progress on an awesome boat.

it’s worth it to restore these boats are awesome. I currently own a 1977 Hydrostream vulture that is 100% restored, and currently restoring a 1976 Hydrostream viper. The hard work will definitely pay off.

angle grinders are your friend.... get the bauer 7 inch grinder, backing pad and fiber discs just grind it all out multi tool takes way too long

Good on ya, let’s keep all these old High Performance boats going. I’m in Canada rebuilding a 89 Charger SK. It’s a messy itchy job that I have been chipping away at for just over a year. I’m at the put it back together stage and man it feels good to do it myself. Keep up the good work buddy!

I'm rebuilding 2 18ft piranha tunnel hulls right now...one for me and one for my son..we will be drag racing them ...been about 6 years since I rebuilt a boat...I just stopped itching 😅

At first it seams overwhelming...but do it right and you will very happy. I have done a few...always worth it in the end.

Welcome to one of the dirtiest jobs out there. Don't be shy, grab an angle grinder, and some cut off discs and go to town, cut the top off the core, and start ripping it all out. The more rotten, the better. It comes out easier. I suggest building some bracing under the boat with some 2x4 or similar to support the hull. It gets super flimsy when it's cut apart. You'll want to get the foam out of the sides as well. Or at least cut into the bottom at the back and make sure it's dry. Get some 40grit flap wheels for a 4.5" and 7" grinder and go to town. Where abouts are you located? There are lots of good videos and info out there.

Being a vking makes it worth saving.. it has potential to be something awesome
