Re: Viper rebuild and race for pinkslips

The shop has been super busy so I haven't been working on the boat but the race is 2.5 weeks away so I got back on it tonight. I got most of the rest of the core out and my 3/4" marine plywood cut. I made the stringers an inch taller and kicked them up to the bottom of the splashwell. I also go...

Re: Viper rebuild and race for pinkslips

Re: Viper rebuild and race for pinkslips

So basically you want a river racer/ratrod. If you spent $800 of your $1500 budget, I highly doubt you'll get the rest of it done with only $700. You can probably bag the whole core in one shot, it'll be easier if you do stringers on top of the core after. Stringers you can just weigh down without ...

Viper rebuild and race for pinkslips

Hey everyone, glad to be new to the site. So after watching a video of some crazy tiller steer dingy racing in the ocean, a buddy and I challenged a couple other guys to a race.
