There is a guy up by St.cloud with a 90 yamaha and nitrous on it.

Re: vixen resto
im from north branch mn ,the boat is at my buddys shop the sign is just some old sign from a shop he used to work at , actually the boat was not cored , someone had made an attempt at stiffining up the hull by glassing in some plywood on the sides ,the wood was still good in that part of the boat so i just ran some more glass over it when putting in the floor. i actualy have a
75 horse three cylinder to put on it , not sure how it will go with that engine on it, guess i'll find out . like i said earlier this is my first boat and everything i've done to this boat has been from suggestions from our fiberglass guy at work and research i've done online , so if anyone has any suggestions for this build expecialy for the engine and how to get this boat to go fast let me know.

Re: vixen resto
I have a 75 hustler on mine.. 6 inch set back and a 24 raker. Runs 68-72 depending if it's a good day for the motor or not. Not much a turner though.

Re: vixen resto
Nice boat Vixen85. I'm doing a resto on a Vulture right now. Asking a lot of the same questions. I am not planing a top off restore but you can see my WIP thread about what I'm doing. Welcome. Bill
