Hydra Powerboats whats the word?
I just bought a 1988 32' Hydra Power boat. Can anyone tell me some details on this manufacturer? How do these cats handle as opposed to some of the other 32' cats out there. I will be running with a pair of 650hp BBC's and Bravos. I haven't heard a word on these at all here on OSO and coould use some input and history. Anyone else running with one I would like to see some pics. Email me at mudnutter@comcast.net or post here I check all the time, Thanks!
