  • Exactly what kinda boat is the green boat ?

  • @cmystangspin 1978 Hydrostream Viper

  • how fast were u guys running

  • The viper approx. 85-86 (had my 26p 4 blade), the stv somewhere around 110mph. (30p merc. cleaver) I now own the cleaver and get around 91-92 with it..

  • great lookin Viper.. A few questions... Hull gutted? and is there any added weight to the front?? I had a XR4 150 on my Viper and Im tempted to go to 200hp...scared of the blow over risk lol , My boat is completely gutted except for seat and fuel cell in back... what you think?

  • Thanx!! No the hull is not gutted, wanted to but didn't do it. I did rework the floor and used a thin fiberglass box for a stringer, and also thin fiberglass panel for the floor. I am running two buckett seats up front with nothing in rear. I have an 18 gal. fuel tank in the rear along with the battery. As for the front, I only have two 6x9 speaker boxes and a few life jackets. At first I tried to run a 12 gal. plastic fuel cell in the bow, and couldn't control the chine walk above 65..

  • Ok sorry this just baffles me lol WHAT is that 2.5 mercury?????? lol I know it's not on the BOATS!

  • both of these boats are strong, and the guy in the viper has been driving high performance boats for a while. 5 stars for this video. i love all boats, just partial to speed, keep them rolling

  • Nice boats! MERCURY BABY! And farmgirl it was "a lot of" not "alota" and boat not bout a is no where near u on a keyboard and 5000hp turbine on a 30ft boat?! I dont think so. And it's not a 2 and a 1/2 hp motor that's 2.5 liters! Stock it's a 260 hp motor! Geez. Don't know why I bother. But anyway...keep it shiny side up guys! (and girls)

  • geez, I'd have to wear a set of brown pants for that boat ride!

  • GEESUS

  • 110 with a 2.5.....

    so why does a 5000hp turbine engine only propel a 30ft boat 190?

  • @blsplr51 sounds like to me u need to learn what a typo is!

  • @94farmgirl Girl you need a basic education...........

  • MERCURY #1 ON THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • my boyfriend gotta stv last year thats looks just like this one in the video. we go to alota bout races
