Re: 79 Vulture Recore
I should be getting some more seat time this weekend. Anyone on the Fox Lake IL chain this weekend? Look me up. Bill

Re: 79 Vulture Recore
I apologize, I must have hit the reply button by accident scrolling through the post. Great writeup! Read through the whole thing. Just picked up a 76 vulture today. Feels solid but worry about the core.Hippie459MN wrote: ↑Nov 24, 2018 7:57 pmDid you forget to type your post? Anything we can help you with?

Re: 79 Vulture Recore
Nice! Are you sure its a 1976 cause the first year for the Vulture was 1977. Built in 1976 maybe but the first registered model year for the Vulture is 1977. I have an early model 77.

Re: 79 Vulture Recore
Yeah I read that they were first produced in 77. Title has 76 as year. Haven't found the number plate on the boat yet but title has HSP517VTM76J listed as the ID number.Hippie459MN wrote: ↑Nov 24, 2018 8:20 pm Nice!

Re: 79 Vulture Recore
That explains it, that is not a Vulture. That HIN is for a Vector. The VT in the HIN is the Vector. If it was a Vulture it would be a VL.
Also, the Vulture is 20 feet long and the Vector is 17 feet so if it is 20 feet, you have a title for a Vector and not a Vulture.
Here is how to read your HIN - https://www.hydrostreamforums.com/decodehin
Hope that helps.

Re: 79 Vulture Recore
Yeah, you might want to get that squared away so you don't wind up having any issues later.
With that, as for the core, if its original or you don't know if its been redone, its junk and needs to be replaced. There are only two types of Hydrostreams, ones that need a new core, and ones that have had the core replaced. Sucks but when done right, it will out last you! I know if taken care of, mine will out live me now that its need redone, properly!

Re: 79 Vulture Recore
Where are the HIN plates located on these hulls? I think it should have one on the right side of the transom and the coast guard placard inside, both of which are not there. Read somewhere about under the splashwell?
