    Here is a picture of the only 20' I/O known to exist and my 18'I/O. The 20' belongs to Van Owens from Birmingham, AL. It is the boat in the brochure and is serial #1. He met me down on Lake Seminole where i live and we took a few pics. I can't say enough about him or his boat, looks like it just popped out of the mold. Just wanted to share this rare occasion with the Hydrodyners family.

    Cool! I wonder where the 17.6 I/O is? Any body see or hear of it lately?

    Rumor is there were two 20' I/O's and two 17.6 I/O'S made.

    If there was two 20's made, I wonder where the other one is? Would love to own it.

    On occasion I google search "hydrodyne craigslist", and a few months ago I came across an add (unsure of location) that was selling a camper, and ski boat. It was an airstream and the 20' closed bow I/O. Both sadly weren't in the best condition, they looked dusty and weathered. I remember seeing a tube in the back of the boat in the picture...

    After reading this thread I tried to search it again and I couldn't find it, but if someone had the patience sift through all the results, maybe you could find it again.

    Good luck - if someone finds it, let us know!

    I think I had that guy send me some pics, but the boat turned out to be a 18 not a 20 like he thought.
