Great site

Hello everyone,

I am impressed with the info on this site (vintage stuff) looks like i will be spending alot of time reading again.

I don't know why but I am stuck in the 70's with the boat styles. I am curently restoring my 76 Hydrostream vector and will share it as soon as possible.

Any more streamers out there??

Hey Keith, nice to hear you are enjoying the site - I appreciate that. I'm always on the lookout for neat vintage stuff to add to the gallery and share.

There are a couple of 'Stream owners kicking around. Jupiter Pulsare still has one although I think he's trying to sell it. And Enticer1 also had one if I'm not mistaken. I think both of them posted in our Hydrostream brand forum awhile back.

Feel free to post up some pics of your restoration if you like. Restoration type threads are always really popular and usually keep popping back up, even years later!

You should be able to upload your pics to the Hydrostream gallery and then be able to post them by using the forum posting code that the gallery gives you.

If you need any help, let me know.

-Chris

Thanks Chris, Like I said , I have alot of reading to do on your site. It will take a while for me to get used to navigating the threads.

Keep up the good work on the vintage stuff.

There are some people who always want to own the latest thing. I'm very nostalgic and the older something gets the more I begin to appreciate it. Maybe that's because older things actually become more unique.

There is truth in what you say.

I was like that in my 20's; had to have cutting edge tech.; now I just think most new boat designs are not as sharp as they were back then.

The irony is that back then i realy couldn't afford that stuff but still
bought it, now i can afford it but don't want it.

New anything all tends to look somewhat similar I find.

I guess there is good and bad with new and old. New stuff depreciates more and faster, is more reliable and has less repairs. Older stuff either is, or becomes more of a one of a kind, but usually requires a bit more work.

I guess in the end, the right choice depends on individual priorities, as to what is the best choice for each.

But it can't be denied, that there is something special with classic 'glass, wood and motors.

I am a believer or "an oldie but a goodie" and the older boats have such great character and appeal. The old wooden boats are my absolute favorite and when ever we are at boat shows, that is what honestly keeps my attention. New motors are cool but the workmanship of the old boats always amaze me.
