Re: Project Hydrostream Vulture
Ok, so the video is gonna take me a bit (and it turned out like poop) so here is todays progress... Get ready to be amazed!!!!
These are just a few pictures after grinding for a bit. The midway point of the day maybe.
And this is the end of the day of grinding... I seems kinda weird to see it like this considering what I started with.
You know what these pictures mean, Its officially time to start going the other way!!!!
Its about 95% done in the grinding department. Just have one small spot up in the bow yet and the transom is about 90% done. Just ahve to trim it and put down a layer of mat then its stringers and core!!!
Getting excited.
Oh yeah, 75% of the holes/cracks/tares you see were discovered once it got down further. The other 25% was me getting carried away with the grinder. lol All I have to say is this poor boat sure had a rough life and someone masked a lot of the problems. Im sure glad I never hung a motor on it when I got it home or it would be on the bottom of a lake for sure.

Re: Project Hydrostream Vulture
You have no idea... Oh wait, Im sure you know all to well. I have wanted this thing on the water for 2 years now and its getting to the point that all I do is think about that boat day in and day out. I just want to be able to be on the water once this year. Thats all I ask. LoLVultureNo2 wrote:Keep up the good work Hippie. Looks great. All looks so familiar. Patience is hard isn't it? Bill

Re: Project Hydrostream Vulture
I'm expecting to be on the water tomorrow. 2 years to the week from when I bought it. As long as you keep moving in the right direction, you will get there. Don't stop thinking about it daily. That's the only way to keep on track. Bill
