Well, this happened over the weekend... My girl came home...

I was just getting out for Vking dusk run, saw you coming up to Crooked Bay narrrows; almost stopped to shoot crap with others floating but thought to chase you down lake to TCda Bay.
McVDoo was running very nice, trimmed right; guessing you were getting 64-5mph out of it?
I'll bring Voodoo out next time, have same engine cowl. Drop into Long Lake next time for a boot.
Cheers

You were flying, that Hydrostream is fast! Boat looks awesome! I think I know where you are on long lake (orange garage?).

Nice to see the boat back with its original owner. The long shaft nitro drive shaft was at Top Gun a few years ago. Maybe Paul still has it.

I am actually the second owner, Randy Wicks of Wicks Construction in Gravenhurst was the original owner. I am pleased to have it back. I am goign to run it as is for the rest of the season and then start the overhaul process. Nothing major just come odds and ends.

It is for sale.

Lots of progress last night, took 6 garbage bags of foam out of the bow. Figure I have about 2 hours left to get the last bit out of the bow and starboard side then clean up all the remaining bits.

Went from this...

To this...

All that foam up front is that factory. My 89 voodoo never had that in the front.

I am to believe the open cell foam that you can see, darker yellow, is factory. It is the same foam the builder used to secure the cardboard roll the rigging was snaked through from the dash to the stern. The white/light yellow foam is home insulation foam some sprayed in along the line. Not sure what the rationale on that was...

The cardboard roll for the rigging in mine was glued in. Never had any foam in the front it was all nice and clean. Only foam was at the back between the drain hole and it was fiberglassed in. Must be having fun getting under there to get it out. Tight area.

No two Voo Doos are the same, this much I know is true!

Finally! Rigged!

Big thanks to Robbie Scythes, who will never see this, and Mike Hooper at Six Mile Lake Marina for building the custom bracket abd putting all the parts I had together.

Rig runs well, i only have 10 mins in the seat so it will need some adjustment but for now its fast and straight.
