HYDROSTREAM VALERO YT BOWRIDER

That is one beautiful ride. If only I was in the market. Right now working on getting my starliner ready for the season before I head out for the last real ski trip of the year.
 
I should jump on this thing....

Very early in the season for me to do....still have the sleds up north....LOL
It's killin me what to do.....
 
The only boats I have ever owned were Hydrostreams, Checkmates, and my Triton mud boat. The Hydro Vegas XT I owned was a modified tunnel as well. For those who are not familiar, Jupiter's Valero mod. tunnel will air out nicely and will be real stable at speed. I cannot believe that boat hasn't sold yet?

It's running at the 68-70 mph mark...would go faster but there are no low water pickups and I'm conservative on the motor height. With no leftover "play" money I can't make improvements to go faster...but it's a blast to drive!!
 
MCFLY!!!! anyone home??!?!?!?!? I guess the boat is not really for sale!!!!!

Again, IS this a salt water or fresh water boat?!?!!??

The boat has been run in both fresh and salt water. The boat is washed and flushed after each use. Inside the motor cowl, the motor has been sprayed down with Boshield every 6 mos. Boat is kept warm and dry inside a two car garage.

Sorry, I know better, I will never own a salt water boat. Hardly Hull kicking, wife wants a small boat with closed bow instead of the little mate with an open bow.

It's all in how the owner takes care of the boat.And we all know Jup. takes great care of his rigs.So save the salt water excuse.:sick:

Sorry, I know better! I do not care how well a salt water boat has been taken care of, i will not bring one back to fresh water. I was a service manager for years in a salt/fresh water area and have lived in several salt water areas and I KNOW what salt does to EVEYRTHING!!! Just amazes me how you salty's think that salt does nothing to a boat!

And damn, your a cranky sob aren't ya!??!?!?!:shakehead:
 
And...I am not saying this is a bad boat, but just not for me.

Mr. Check16, if you new the list of boats I have owned in the past 9 years and can read what boats I own now, you look like a dumb azz calling me a hull kicker...

First of all, Shamelees comes from the song when my wife almost died in 2003!!!

Again, I do not understand why you saltys think salt does not harm!! To be redundant, I have been a service manager in a salt water area and have lived in several salt water boating area, so I am smarter then that!!!

Ahh, fuk it, enjoy your salt and I will keep looking for a fresh water boat!!!

Am I supposed to be impressed?
Hello Mcfly Jupiter, Fl.
Common sense would have told me this boat has seen salt water.So who's the dumb azz now?
And I'm a very happy person.You just don't like the opinion of someone that uses his boat in salt water alot.And yes my boat looks as good as the day I bought it.
Like I said it's all in how you take care of it.

You have your opinion and I have mine.Get over it

And good luck on your search.:cheers:.
