Looks like a Venus to me.

Yes it's a Venus v. Fastest 20' hydrostream made, just missing the windshield (typical) and an interior apparently. There was a red one in similar shape listed in muskoka about a month ago for $800, probably worth $500 as is. Would be a good project for someone

Isn't the Vegas the fastest traditional 20' Hydrostream?

The Venus is hands down the ugliest though lol.

From hydrostream.org

What is the fastest twenty footer that HydroStream made? The Vegas? Vulture? Voyager? No, no, and no! The Venus, introduced in 1979, with stock power is extremely fast and it's all because of aerodynamics. Back when they came out with this model and tested it, ribbons were placed around the boat (deck, sides, motor, etc.) to check the airflow and vacuum points while underway. The ribbons on this hull just laid flat because of the excellent aerodynamics. In addition, with the enclosed cuddy the remaining cockpit area is actually quite small.

I won't argue with that Ricky!!!

No Mike had it last year, it's on Redstone.

that has got to be the ugliest boat ever made.
definitely a full face crash helmet with dark visor needed for this one.

probably made to be super fast so you dont get recognised driving it
