Re: Yet Another 79 V-KIng Restore...Yea...I Know-Do We Need Another One??

Got the base layer of glass in that the core will set on. Then once the core is down, will cover it with another layer of glass, doubling over in the pad area. Have rough cut my stringers from the Corelite panels. Changed up the design of the stringers a bit and copied the basic layout from a member...

Re: Viper help

I like that video. Love the I6 motors.

Next I glassed the transom plug into the boat with 2 layers 1708 between the plug and the hull skin, again CSM facing the skin, and the other facing the plug.

Re: Yet Another 79 V-KIng Restore...Yea...I Know-Do We Need Another One??

So next I made my transom plug to be glassed into the boat, then glassed it in place. I cut the first Corelite panel into 4 pieces, 39"x17" in size, then stacked them, clamped them together, then marked and drilled 1/8" holes every 2" all across the board stack. This was to allow...

Re: Project Hydrostream Vulture

Just installed my transom and it looks similar to yours now with plugged holes and patches, etc on the back side. I am going to clean, sand and make it flat, then a layer of glass over it. Then get it prepped and ready for when the boat gets painted. This picture was a practice fit with clamps in pl...

Re: Project Hydrostream Vulture

I have been saving pictures of back seat set ups and some of them look crazy simple. I like the back to back seats that came in the older Streams. Like in the Blue one below.
