Hydrodyne... Great ski boat from the 70's, made in Illinois. Mostly outboards but I/O's weren't uncommon, pretty sure there weren't any direct or Vee Drive ones made. Roundish bottom made for a great low speed trick skiing wake an a very acceptable wake at speed for slalom. The rot just like Hydrostream's |

There's a couple of those restoration candidates out there, mostly in Quebec. A better restored 165 I/O version for $3500 near Ottawa. If I REALLY wanted one, I'd go for the I/O as it'd cost at least that much to re-core the others. |

We used to ski behind one with a 235 Johnny Rude and a stainless 15P. That thing would rip your arms out if the pilot was being a Richard! Many a tank full was burned, great boat for the money. Now it's all direct or V Drive around here. I believe the boat in the add used to reside in the area as well. Lots of ski camps ran them, many as twin rig 115's and even trips. This company still makes a modern version, same bottom I believe. http://www.dyna-ski.com/ |

Saw this one some time ago. Be a nice ride after complete restoration. Note deformation where hull contacts trailer. |
