Re: Viper rebuild
Got the hull on the rolling cradle. Had to adjust the bunks a bit and got it to sit well. When it comes time to flip it over, I'll just readjust the bunks to fit accordingly. The hull is at a good working height and the cradle is heavy enough that I'll be able to rig it with the engine prior to going back on the trailer. Starting to get pumped!!

Re: Viper rebuild
That is a killer shop you got there, the boat is looking badazz and ready to see it in the finished form.

Re: Viper rebuild
Very sorry for not updating the past 2 years, going to try to bring this thread up to date. Time to start on the business end of the Viper!

Adjusted the bunks and came up with a great, stable working height. There's a lot of work to do before it's straight and crisp. It's a first generation design Viper bottom

Re: Viper rebuild
Only a few low areas to build up. Once the first grind gets finished, the blueprinting begins.....

Re: Viper rebuild
Completely rebuilt the trailer while the hull was off. Came out pretty decent for a 1979 trailer. The bunks were adjusted when the hull was ready to go back on.

Re: Viper rebuild
The bottom is now finished. I decided to fill in the pad and straightened/sharpened all the strakes and trailing edges. The boat won't be a cruiser so a performance bottom finish was done.
