Just some short flybys of this sweet little 18ft Hydrostream vking river rat with a big 225 hp evinrude High Output motor mounted to the back. Top speed right now is 82 mph. Insane for such a small boat.
Enjoy.
Even though I'm a Mercury guy I always liked the sound of those Big OMC
To bad the Canadians ruined the brand
Nice HydroStream!
Title of the Video is calling it a V-King, but it is actually a Vector. A little shorter and possibly a little quicker than the V-King. Also a little harder to handle on the pad.
Good Video!!
Yup, my '76 Vector with a 175 Merc got that but it was dicey when trimmed up, you could run it at that speed and only half the prop would be in the water and full air under the hull.
Too funny man my cottage is On the river a few down 😂 what a small world nice vid
good old etecs... the only engine ive ever seen chunk a rod with 40 hrs on it!
They last 40 hours!???
😲
NO WAY!
not an etec... its a later model ficht 3.3
Thats not an ETEC
I had an action 17 stingray bootleg . 200 Merc 28 pick chopper.. I was a prop tech at accuprop in pompano Fla . GPS 86.. very scary.. these guys are running.. I quit and I love my sailboard.. good luck guys .
Nice looking Hydrostream. That big Rude on the back should have went quite a bit faster. Runs good and Sounds great. Also ...That Evinrude is NOT an E-TEC. That Evinrude is a BRP FICHT RAM 3.3L V-6. With the right setup and adjustments, That boat would be Really fast. Nice video !
They run them with Mercury 2.4 and 2.5 offshore race motors which are 265 and 280 hp respectively
T K finally! A reply from somebody who knows what he’s talking about.
And for the comment above you... nobody ever put a long shaft ( off shore ) motor on a Hydrostream lol but a few loose screw individuals did put F1 short shafts on them.
@@wrzl1675 OFFSHORE MIDS COME IN 15" FYI
I had a jet black v king with a 2.4 efi merc 104 mph on monroe county sheriff radar , bad ass boat !
Was going to skip this vid but it was pretty cool actually.
82 mph with a 225 Evinrude? my 79 viking with an 82 235 Evinrude ran 86 mph on an FHP radar. the same boat with a 200 black max 92 mph and that was under propped. i use a 28 inch chopper it needed a 30 inch cleaver. Jim jr @ Frank and Jimmy's prop shop in Ft Lauderdale got me a cleaver and double cupped it, that set up ran 96 mph on an FHP radar. You guys need to do something else those driving skills (or lack there of) are going to get you killed, Hydrostreams are not for amateurs, these boats can get scary.
I don't know why people would put an evinrude on hydro streams. They are a heavier motor and can't run with merc.
These boys explained they need to adjust the setup and change prop, they're just out for a rip havin fun and learnin to walk the pad. Would love to see some vids of your stream rippin!
I will bet money they are still regretting that motor choice many years later. Who knows, I could be wrong. Some dudes still drive Ford's so there's proof some just like doing shit backwards.
Someone that knows how to set a boat like that up, needs to help him before he gets hurt...
WHAT IS WRONG LOOKS LIKE IT RUNS WELL....
Should be going 90+
Need more prop... like a 30,,,, needs Jack plate too lift that thing up and trim it out.
@@craigbielsky115 Need more prop...
nice. bullet lower unit and a nice cleaver. get that thing to lay down and nail it!sometimes a 4 blade with help you. i use a 4 blade hydromotive cleaver tweeked a bit @ 5700 rpms buy myself and 3/4 tank. i've hit near 85 in perfect conditions. 150 merc.2005. and some goodies. but i'm only 15-'5"ft viper too. and yes a handful! 4 blade works great! lots off tourque steer. . teleflex brand new ss dual cable steering. i want to feel it. ha. you need to or your dead! or could be! it's no toy these machines..
That's a 2 by 4 with a v 6 Holly crap I'm in.
Yeah … not a V-King . Vector 17.1 inch long vs 17.9 the V-King was built for the V6 when they first came out.
Thats a vector...
Beautiful!
Hey fella what length mid and do you have the exhaust drilled ?
I love that
Sweet Stream!
sure run better than 82mph I know it is not a merc lol
Great video!
its about time to get that boat out in the water for this year. You will get more speed when you get the boat out of the water more. Like only the last 6" should be in the water. Whats the length of that boat?
Don’t let amateurs operate such an awesome boat. Keep the motor trimmed down until the boat is on plane
Zero skill drivers.
what kind and what pitch prop are you running?
Does the driver not know to trim it in to take off and leave some prop in the water. He needs more cup on the prop.
Duuuude 🤘🏼🔥
Dude has no idea how to drive that boat
That's no etec, that a strange ficht lol
Rookie
Needs trim on takeoff I would build a nice hydro foil for it also.
I always wondered why a hydrosyream will run 85 mph with a 225hp while a allison will run 90+ mph with a 175hp.
No way that would happen, maybe mid 70s with a 175!
@@jimmycline4778 WRONG....DARRIS ALLISON DID RUN 90 WITH 175 AND 65 WITH 90 HP.....I RAN 99 WITH 225 PRO MAX AND 2GUYS WITH FULL TANK.
Yup uhh just hi oin
my little 15 ft starcraft with gt 150 would go that fast
yea not even close. the starcraft doesnt even have a pad and weighs almost 2x as much lol
need more seat time in that Vector
Si no corre nada! corre más la moto de agua! esto es como dicen en mi tierra, mucho ruido y pocas cáscaras! , ponle un Honda un Yamaha o Suzuki.
No reverse gear lol
Canadians 😂
Bye bye 'rude..
He needs to trim down when he tries to get up on plane
JD Spears damn that thing was porpoising pretty bad 😂
JD Spears the hp shouldn’t matter it’s the direction the water is being pushed so if he took off with it trimmed down all the way the boat should stay level and get up on plane really fast.
@@jdblaster5154 HAVE YOU EVER OWNED ONE OR BUILT ONE ? THAT IS HOW THEY RUN WITH BIG ASS MOTORS ON BACK ...MOTOR WAS DOWN ALL THE WAY..
The outboard looks like a blob on the back of the boat. Get a 2.5.......
It's a shame you can't buy 2 stroke anymore. This overpowered boat with overweight 4 stroke is pityful.
ITS A 2 STROKE LOL.....DO YOU KNOW BOATS MUCH?
Trim trim trim ..trim out !! Or up or something..you got way too much boat wet..trim up get on the pad . If your doing in the 80s now . You could trim up and get 100 easy.. just watch that chine walk
STFU HE DOING FINE FOR HIS LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE ...
If you don't have centered steering on these boats then you don't have shit. You absolutely don't wanna run at speed with 1 driver and even if you add weight or a person to balance the boat out you just lost at least 5 and probably ten mph off the top. That boat with two guys and the mediocre power would be lucky to hit 80.
