I can only speak from experience here in this particular situation, and maybe some of you have experienced this, but a ride in a hydrostream is like nothing else. it makes more power out of any motor out there, and it is ALWAYS a wild ride. it's a pad hull, and while some CVX's had a pad as well, the hydrostream was WAY lighter. they were built for one reason... going fast on glass water. even my 20' Vulture was a handful with the stock '79 200 Merc. I love the style of the hydrostreams, and I honestly thought that going with the Vulture (20') would tame them a bit, and make for a more useable hull. but I ran it one weekend and decided it was not the boat I needed. I can't describe the feeling of a 20' boat at 70mph that feels light as a feather, and yes, it serves it's purpose very well, but it just feels like it is on the edge of what happened in this video. while steering failures could happen to anyone, I'll take the feeling of control any day over waiting for this to happen without a failure! just my thoughts...
