V King restoration specialists

Post: # 23316Post Chesternj2000 »

Hello- I have a 1981 V King- Have owned this fun boat since 1990 and last ran it 2 summers ago. While still a complete boat I feel ai need to have it completely torn apart and restored . I live in New Jersey and wondered if anyone could recommend someone who specializes in restoration of these awesome boats. I also would appreciate it if anyone knows if anyone who is good at rigging- I have a jack plate but I want a lower water pickup and proper motor adjustment. Many thanks!!!!!

John Norton is in North Carolina and does phenomenal work restoring these things and he has a TON of experience with Hydrostreams so he knows his way around them very well. He has done a number of full restos for members here and they have all come out great! All new core, stringers, transom, floor, everything.

Here is a VKing he did a full resto on, including all new metal flake gel...
