Re: 1987 Vegas XT
As far as I know, these boats had a balsa core, and wood stringers, all encapsulated in fiberglass. I think that’s probably what we’re looking at here. When built, they would cover the stringers with fiberglass mat and fiberglass resin. On the second picture straight down from the steering wheel spo...

Re: 1987 Vegas XT
Welcome, I agree, your deck looks really nice! Most people on this forum will recommend that you rebuild your stringer/core system close to factory specs. It's lightweight and strong. However, the factory often did a poor installation, hence, rotting balsa and the poor reputation. When you say it's ...

Re: Prop hub sizing
Yes, that is a surfacing prop, designed to be run partially out of the water. However the motor in the pic does not have a low water pickup. With a low water pickup, and your propshaft about 2 or 3 inches below the pad,(to start), and a long list of safety gear...you'll go fast.

This is one of my favorite sites and a big wave of relief washed over me when it came back up. Like a near death experience I made promises that, if the forum returned, I wou...

Hi I am new to this site just bought a beautiful 78 vking
Hey! Welcome! Good looking ride. Your windshield and frame look to be in really good shape and that's a big plus. I looked pretty closely at your pictures and it dawned on me that your rig is extremely rare because at 38 years old it is extremely original...just as it would have been sold off the sh...

I don't know. I saved the pic from the web when it was for sale years ago. Nice one though.

If your going to set it up for any speed, you will need a lot of set back, and typically the more set back, the more the engine can be raised. So, you will need to jack it an additional five inches, also, keeping the center of gravity low is preferable. Is it to tall? Well, you can make it work, but...
