Ah,
Higely flow res., the good old COLD days!:eek: i did alot of water sking there in the 70's:eek:

The boss is cool with the HydroSCREAM as long as I don't go over 65-70 MPH!
It's an open bow, so the kids love it! We used that alot more last year, than we did the Nordic, love the cost of the boat gas!

It was all good until I lost my friend Martin when he blew one of the boats over, and got killed. That kind of put a damper on things, they all sold, or quit using the "little" boats. I get the urge too, had a 21 Eliminator. I think I'll go Center Console.:drink::drink:

BB,
So sorry to hear about your friend Martin. When I was looking for oue 2nd little boat, ( we had a 2006 Seadoo Sportster, I bought of Bob-the-builder that we sold) I too thought about going the Eliminator, or Liberator or some other little tunnel hull route, but in the end logic kinda won out, and I went with this open bow Hydrostream, Voyager, (Although it's a mod'd tunnel hull) it will only top out @ about 80 MPH....

Once again, sorry about your friend Martin,

Dean
