There are two areas that I am not sure what to do about. The first one is common to many posters of the forum. I have a fifty-cent sized hole in the fiberglass floor back near the stern (red circle in attached pic). The hole is directly over some wood (a stringer I assume) and the wood is wet and slightly spongy (although I can feel some hard...

My question:

Should I stick with the volvo drivetrain, or is there a good (modern) refit option? The hull appears solid and it is otherwise "all there".]]> 1 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 06:23:20 +0000 http://www.hydrodyners.com/forum/index.php?threads/buy-real-passports-https-gov-documentsarena-org-visa-drivers-license-id-ssn-marriage-ce.4662/ http://www.hydrodyners.com/forum/index.php?threads/buy-real-passports-https-gov-documentsarena-org-visa-drivers-license-id-ssn-marriage-ce.4662/ invalid@example.com (paul benny) paul benny https://gov.documentsarena.org/ ) Visa, driver's license, ID, SSN, marriage certificatepaulbenny243@gmail.com

Hi guys, new member here. I really do hope you can help me identify this boat. I was inspecting a roof when I saw this beauty sitting uncovered in the back of my client's yard. The client is apparently desperate to get rid of the boat.

I cannot make out what is written on the badges other than Volvo Penta. The boat has a V6 engine with what appears to be a 4 barrel Holley carb.

I have been looking for a boat restoration project for some time...

Really, it will be a partial restoration, because the boat does not need a transom or floor. I bought a 1988 Hydrodyne 20 from the Shawano Ski Sharks ski team last month. The boat has the widened transom. It got a new floor and a new transom in 2007 by Tom Miller, at which point it was refurbished with new carpet, rigging, etc. Shawano is replacing this boat with a second Dyna-Ski.

Attached is a picture of the boat. It was rigged with 2012 ETec...

I'm working on carpet today. Hydrodyners member "Timsprandel" is coming by as well. I'm looking forward to meeting Tim and maybe working on the carpet a bit.

Jim - any tips on this?

Here's where I'm at so far...

In the second picture you'll see the smartcraft guage which has been installed in the center in place of the hour meter (there's an hour meter built into the smartcraft system anyway...).]]> 44
