When I first saw those insane Hydros flying up and down the river, I really wanted one. Never got there. But, you're right Ragged, they were wild azz rides.

Three wild azz ones here. Started with a 15' with my 115/135 Johnson, too slooooooooow. Bought a 175 V6 Johnny and bolted that beast on the 15' Hydro, too short, decided I wanted to extend my life expectancy. Keep the 175 and bolted a 17' Hydro it. Worked good till I did a triple looper with it and blew the azz end off it. Sold that salvage package off to a friend and bought another 17' with a 200 Merc "Black Max". If I remember the boat was 2800, the motor was about the same, 8-900 in a trailer and another 200 in a Merc Chopper prop. All that fun for so little money. The new lab 5 blades for this one will cost more than the last HydroStream did.

And I assume the wing plates are as well.

FYI, I'm not fishing here, already know. As I said before, the cat was out of the bag a while ago.
I have an "info guy".

Brett thinks 97+ should be your new target number, lite on fuel, of course. Hope that trick bag is a deep one.

Today is not looking good for hauling, may be up tomorow. Just have to wait and see, if chitty may come up and rig up the slip then bring it up on sunday. You going up tonight?
