Also, the floor is the least of your worries with these. The CORE is what you should find out about. Some reason I think it was a solid boat but DO NOT hold me to that. The core is under the floor and the only way to get to it, is to pull the floor out. Also, the transoms are another attention spot on these. Remember, these boats are 30+ years old. Even Howard has said, when he built them, they were making them as fast as they could and he never once thought that they would still be around 30+ years later. My Vulture will be 40 years old this year and has all new Core, stringers, floor, and transom and now that is is done right, it will last another 40 years. Plus, even 30+ years later, still some of the coolest looking boats on the water.
