Hi,
It's the Shadow 22 Magnum. I found the video quite a while ago and just got around to posting it, Sorry about your hair.
I really hope you bought it as it is a beautiful and historic boat.
I bought the Red and Silver Shadow 200vt used as an example on page 1, unfortunately I took it to a bad shop and may not be getting it back.
The Video is old and rough, Hope you all enjoy it

I agree! I had a 1980's Hydrasport X270, with a 150HP Black Max.Originally Posted by larryhyco
Definitely a Hydrasport. I remember the transom/splash-well design, as well as the flat section of fiberglass at the rear seat pedestal, behind the live well lids. Someone performed a half-ass front deck extension on it, and compartment hinge replacing.

Thanks for the video...Those boat are scooting with a 200hp... I've seen a few around East Tennessee going the other way that look brand spanking new... Did someone get a hold of the mold and are making a few???... Dan
Hi Dan,
This is the only one I have any evidence of (Shadow 200VT) but they only made 2 and were reselling the mold in 2012.

I have seen chat on different forums about other molds floating around while I was doing the research on my 200VT. That's how I found the 22 Magnum video, good thing I downloaded it because the original thread for that is gone as well.
From what I understand the reproductions made by the other company (not above) were done using fiberglass chop spray guns and a lot heavier than the original hand laid version.
Happy you (and everyone) enjoyed the vid.
I hope to be posting more of my own eventually.
There was a boat brand named Bassmaster about that time, that looked like that.
Shadow.
This is awesome Shadow Bassin! Thanks for sharing. I don't care how dangerous they are - i want one! LOL That yellow boat is bad a$$
I do recall somewhere in my research reading posts that Shadow was a Bassmaster Sponsor or official boat for a brief time but cannot find it. Never found any definite proof or pictures. If I do I will link it.
Here is an interesting Link to a Popular Mechanics Bass Boat comparison test with the Shadow 210V from around that time.

Shadow Bassin...
Back in the mid 90's I purchased a 20' Glassport bass boat. It was made in Corbin, Ky and it came out of a Shadow mold. Bought it new from a used car dealer in Berea, Ky. Only last a season before it split right down the middle. Almost sunk it at the State Dock on Cumberland. It was a handful rigged with a 150 Mariner. It was Candy Apple Red with silver and black pinstripes... I work with the guy at the car dealership, he got my money back from Glassport and I bought a leftover Sprint bass boat he had on the lot... Never saw another one made by Glassport... Dan
Anyone notice the price of those top of line rigs? WOW has things changed!
30 years is a long time... Dan
