Well, I know its been a long time since I have updated this so thought a little update was in order. The Vulture is now out of my hands and is 330(ish) miles away. Don't worry, its not gone forever though... Its in good hands right now and will hopefully have some updates here soon. Until next time...

I'm happy to see Project Hydrostream Vulture back up and hopefully running. For us newbies, this and other posts have been a HUGE source of information and inspiration when it comes to restoring these awesome boats. Keep the photos and updates coming. Love the boat!

Well, I didnt post this earlier but a good portion of the old core (The core I had put down originally) was not even bonded to the hull and came up in one piece. I guess it was a blessing in disguise you could say.

Here some work is getting done on the transom and decking over the splashwell. Im digging it so far.

Here some new/more frame support is being added in the old splashwell area.

and here is the transom cut down and some wood for fitment and to get an idea. This makes me really happy.

Glad to see the vulture getting some work done to it, love the flattened splash well. Before long you'll be up and running :boating:
