Hello!

Welcome! Great looking little boat. Like bill asked, How is the core in it?

If you have any questions or anything just ask.

Welcome to the forum, don't mind Russ he is essentially harmless

Have you ever thought about racing that fine Hydrostream? We are having a race meeting in Hayward on Saturday to discuss the upcoming race in Menominee.

I thought it was in Hudson. I will have to double check the email Scott sent. I plan on being there provided the girlfriend dont keep me up all night.

Hippie, you are correct, I must have smoked dinner again.

Well, my advice would be to learn to like the "aged" look I'm getting my vking ready for paint now and am not a big fan of the sanding.

There are a couple routs you can go, paint, gel, or a vinyl wrap. My viper is painted on the bottom with a epoxy paint and the top is carbon fiber with clear gel and a automotive clear over it. My vking will be auto paint top and bottom. Neither of these boats are in the water for more than a couple hours. If you plan on keeping the boat in the water more than a day or two at a tile gel is the way to go on the bottom.
