Welcome to the forums.

[Hippie459MN]

Welcome and love the Vixen. Dont see to many of them. And as chet said, Where in MN are you from?

Man, put one of those triple cylinder loopers on that a?

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

After thinking about it do vixens have a core?

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.

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.

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
