What you need to know

Hydrostream Boats has one recorded USCG recall campaign dating to 1990, affecting just 6 units of the 15 foot VIPER model for safe loading and level flotation deficiencies. This is a minimal recall footprint spanning over three decades. The age and small scope of this campaign mean most used Hydrostream hulls on the market today were built after the issue was resolved or were unaffected models.

What to check before you buy a used Hydrostream Boats

  1. Confirm the model and year of any Hydrostream you are considering, particularly if it is a 15 foot VIPER from 1990 or earlier
  2. Request documentation from the seller showing the recall remedy was completed if the boat matches the affected model and year
  3. Inspect the flotation system and capacity plate during your survey, regardless of recall status, to verify safe loading limits are clearly marked
  4. Contact Hydrostream directly or check with a qualified marine surveyor to confirm no additional unreported safety issues exist for your target hull
