Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
The transom was never broken, and the splashwell areas in decent shape. I decided not to cut the top skin off the transom because the skin on the back was very thin. Pictures speak...

Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
And here is where im at now. Grinding out a million blisters and gonna try to straighten out the bottom the best i can. The "hook" in the pad is not as bad as before re coring. I suspended the shell on three points while working inside.
The rest of the bottom, besides blisters and nics is pretty straight.

Re: 1978 Vandal full restoration
I decided to grind em out. Its gonna be awhile! I dont have access to a gelciat peeler, or i would remove all the running surface gel.
After filling i think i will lay a 4 oz over it all before adding for fairing/straightening.

Pandemic progress! It’s on year 4 of being in the shop as a side project. It will be getting wet next summer. Very nice to see the end in sight.
