    Thought I'd check in

    Been awhile since I've been on here (or any forum really for that matter). Between working at the shop and helping make it into a true "big deal" around here and family etc I haven't had a whole lot of chill time, and when I do I'm usually doing stuff around the house, with the family or out on the boat. Been looking into getting another VX soon so thought I'd say hey and check in. Been doing alot of boat stuff lately, fixing and selling mostly but have a fun little toy I keep for myself:

    1982 Hydrostream Ventura








    Also been getting my garage at the house all fixed up:




    By the way, if any of ya'll are down this way and need any custom fabrication, mechanical work, truck accessories etc, give me a shout. If you want it or can dream it, we can get it or do it

    haha ya that's my curse lately. I work late nights alot at the shop now then get home and relax with the wife after the kids are in bed and the forums are far from my mind lol. Then on the weekends we usually spend at least one full day out on the water, either at Shell Island, letting the kids play on the beach, or on the lake anchored out with the "redneck yacht club" on a sandbar just having fun. I do a TON of "horse" trading, and that's how I ended up with the Hydrostream. I had bought a 22' Sunbird with a cuddy cabin that needed motor work and decided I didn't have the time, so it got sold. Bought a SeaRay bowrider so we would have some extra room compared to the Hydrostream. Put a sweet stereo with subs in it, rewired it, lots of stuff. Took it out once with the family and friends and HATED it. The boat itself wasn't the problem, SeaRay's are great, but the PO had cobbled together a bunch of parts on it (1980 Mercury inline-6 motor) and it became one problem after another where-as my 'stream has been great. It's simple, handles like a corvette on the water and just looks COOL! Here are the other boats:
