1996 205 LS Hydra Sport 200 Optimax
Mashfan, it has a 65 lb Minkota on it. not quite enough thrust but it will do for now. I saw an old advertisement referring it as a fish and ski but mine isint designed that way at all. You must have had the fish and ski design.
Here is my new to me, 93 LS200DC, with an 89 Yam Excell 225...
Here is my 1998 196 with 200 Venom, its in new condition still. Hard to believe its 18 years old. Still working on Setup for Max MPH and RPM. Any suggestions? Currently running 26 Raker 5400 RPM at 70MPH with Light load, 67-68 2 guys and medium load. 66 MPH with 4 blade 27 pitch Shooter
Here is my 1989 DV 200 - The entire boat was cap off restored. Transom and stringers completely replaced. I tournament fish with the old girl still and I would never sell this boat to buy a new one! It takes rough water better than most new boats. I have a mod vp stuffed under the clam shells. Great boat!
Hello Everyone. I see this is a really old thread. Im a new member to the site and buying my first boat. Its a 1985 Hydra sports VL120 bass boat. I can not find any information on that model at all. I know its a 15'. They guy Im buying this from put a really nice 76 Johnson 135 on it. Motor has all new electronics (he rebuilds boat motors as a living) has minn kota edge 55 troller. Seems like its in really nice shape. Trailer is nice. $2000.00 I just need to buy batteries for it as he is keeping them for another boat.
If you have any info on this model, things to look for on the boat and the motor I would appreciate it. This is my first boat purchase. Im a dad and have a 7 yr old and 3 yr old boys that I want to get into fishing. Maybe do some regional stuff myself. I grew up in Ft Lauderdale fishing the everglades until I was 12 then moved up north but I can flip and jig like a pro.

Back in 76, I bought a 150hp -- 15' , 650lb boat made with the Kevlar 49. I had an 85hp Johnson that was running with (and out running some) the 140's. You got to realize, a 140 was a big motor back then. Anyway, don't have pictures but it was identical to the 150hp in this ad. The side and running was like the blue/white in the bottome center.
