Well, I know I have to recore it. The know how, I'm hoping is going to come from doing it slow reading threads and asking questions on the board. One step at a time. I have to convert the trailer into a bunk before I even touch the boat. Any threads on that out there? Money is not an issue as I am doing it real slow ...this is a project for me and not resale. I've wanted one of these boats for years and am looking forward to learning how to restore it the right way.!

I have a list in my 79 Vulture Recore thread. I hope it helps you guys. I did end up getting 2 more 5 gallons of resin to complete. Some due to re-do mistakes and some to extra heavy layup for skiing not flying. If you have any questions, just ask. Also, I did balsa between the stringers instead of 5 layers of mat. Bill

Read my article on the IHR. I list all the materials used and a very detailed write-up. I took the time to photograph every step and explain what's going on.
