If you look at my resto thread you will see my core was replaced by someone with plywood at one time and looks like the just poured the stuff in and made a huge mess but if you look you can kind of see up under the bow how it would look if it was the factory stuff. I thin layer on top of the core and not 10 gallons poured in.

i'm in beaumont tx, southeast corner on louisiana border.
my vulture someone has done a nasty patch job, bonded 2 sheets of ply wood over the core. really not easy coming off!!

this vector ill be getting has a ton of resin in it, was the resin in yours poured over the core? what was the best way u found to get it out?

im hoping the core is completely rotten where i can scrape most of it out pretty easily. the way it looks in the pics i think theres a good chance. lol

ill find out this weekend the guy is supposed to head this way to do the swap. cant wait!! ready to get started!

Vulture... where? Haha!

Yeah, someone went a little resin happy on my boat. I will get it out though. :D

yeah bill, thats my vulture! lol really love it, think the bus makes a unique boat. tons of room!! a lil more than the garage.

viper, me born and raised in texas, dont know how yall handle the cold weather. I THINK MY BRAIN WOULD FREEZE! and the whiskey already slows it up enough.
my hopes are to get the boat soon and get prepped for grinding as the cooler weather comes in. not gonna kill myself on a unrealistic deadline. hopefully get every thing cleaned up this winter to put the new material in this spring.

Mine don't go in the garage and cars still don't fit! lol

Then you won't be needing the link to your Vulture then. :lol: Fitting in the garage is critical. My Vulture fits. No room for cars in my garage.

My renter has been trying to get his new truck in the garage for 2 years, but between the stream projects and parts there isn't any room.

At least down there you should have plenty of worm weather to work on it, although grinding is a lot better once the temp drops and the layers of cloths get added.

I've read yalls thread and hippie will prolly get mad about this but I'm trading the owner straight up for a vulture in the same condition I purchased a few months ago. I also recently bought a house and the vulture won't fit in the garage, so I've had my eye out to find a vector or viking, a model that I can have and keep at my house to work on. The few feet will make things easier. killing two birds w one stone!
Yeah that's right! Keeping the rotting junked up stream in the garage, the new
truck can stay outside!

I have to agree the more rot the easier it is to remove, however you stated someone added resin. I wouldn't think it's a big deal until I helped Hippie with his. Someone poured resin over 1" think on the outside of the stringers that is going to be a major pain to get off.

I would say if you can get it cheap enough go for it.

done deal! Just gotta figure how to get the boat here. Can't wait to start cleaning it up. Bear w me on the time it takes me and questions to come.
