This is a Great site and it is a pleasure knowing theres a group of guys out there that are as wacky about a lot of the same things I am...unfortunately I sold my Hydrodyne a couple of days ago .I had it for 21 years and it needed to go to someone who can take it to the next level .between my wife and a lack of time it needed a new home...my question is now that I have no Hydrodyne are you guys going to kick me out of the club ... ?..,. I hope not, I really like this group... and you never know my next Hydrodyne may be around the next corner. thanks ... Tony Cecola
Everyone is welcome at Hydrodyners.com. Welcome to the site Tony, and glad you're enjoying yourself so far. There are a great bunch of people here for sure.
Well...... I am the lucky guy who purchased Tony's 18 foot Hydrodyne. This boat is a fine example of what someones love for a boat can be. Tony owned this boat for 21 years and had a complete Mark Bano type rebuild done to it in the early 90's. He had a local marine dealer who specializes in Hydrodynes pull off the deck..replace the floors..transum..(make up a transum reinforcement) ...rebuilt powerhead..new Mastercraft interior...make up side bolsters...all new gagues and controls..repaint the boat...and install a show ski Mercury Marine pylon. Tony currently owns 5 other boats including a Mastercraft and Supra ski boats and with the limited interior space in the Dyne, it sort of sat on the side lines. Tony put the boat in a storage barn where it sat for the last five years, and recently decided to sell it. I spoke to Tony last night, and he said he will miss it and doesn't rule out owning another Hydrodyne at some point in his life. Bob
