Re: 77Vulture Rebuild
It don't really matter just as long as everything is supported good. No core, no transom=noodle. If your going to do braces, I'd do the transom first. It's pretty easy to check though. Grind the inside layer of glass off and get a good look. poke at it, even drill into it with a 1/8 drill. There's been a few of us that were lucky. Mine was a little stained at the bottom but solid. Keep at it! Solid hull, ton of setback and a big motor means fun!

Re: 77Vulture Rebuild
Need to upload the pictures for us to be able to see them as we dont have access to your computer. Just click the upload attachment tab then select your file then hit add the file.
As for then foam, I am guessing your talking about the foam boxes the run the entire length of the boat on each side. I dont know that the 77 model year had the foam boxes from the factory as mine did not but they could have also been removed. They just help aid in flotation if the boat were to capsize, flip, etc... so it doesnt sink or sink as fast.
VultureNo2, Did your vulture have the foam boxes in it?

Re: 77Vulture Rebuild
Yep, that's flotation foam from the factory. It's up to you if it stays or not, it's usually dry and doesn't weigh much. I took it out of my vking and ended up with 5 large bags of foam.

Re: 77Vulture Rebuild
This site is neat, I think we all are doing a service to preserve a the works of a iconic boat company, that designed and built hulls that were on the cutting edge of looks and performance.
With that said I would like to ask you all a quick poll question:
What do you use?,,, Epoxy resin?,,, Polyester resin?,,, or vinyl ester resin?,,,, And the why you used it?
Hope to read some real world input on this subject. Thanks
