would like some opinions
Ok guys I am going to buy a vector from one of the guys on here and Scream&Fly he goes by mrconcrete. He is holding the vector for me till I can make it to Georgia in a few weeks. Its 4-sale on S&F in hulls under 20ft as 78vector it already has all the itchy work done to it and has some of the materials to put it back together. What I would like to get yall's opinions on is. The materials he has for the boat seeing I don't know alot about some of the materials and from what I have been reading and looking at on here for sometime now on here I trust yall's judgements and opinions. I hope im not asking to much if y'all wouldn't mind looking over the boat and the materials on scream and fly I would really appreciate it bc I want to rebuild the boat and do it right the best I can but I have never rebuilt a stream but I have worked on some other boats putting in a transom and floors and all the other fun stuff that goes into rebuilding classic boats. I will try and get some of the info off of scream and fly and put it on here
Thanks ahead of time for any and all the info and advice I get Eric

Re: would like some opinions
The carbon on my viper is not structural and only cosmetic. Before you start using it do some research first, carbon and kevlar do not act like fiberglass so there are different methods of using them. I can't say what the differences are but I know the layup will be different. You will need more epoxy than that, I would guess about 5 gallons. Overall I would say it's a good deal I thought about it for a bit but it's just too far for me to drive.

Re: would like some opinions
Yeah im not so sure about the carbon and Kevlar yet thinking about maybe just getting the other materials and just buy whatever else I would need to complete since I am more comfortable working with them that's why I am asking to see what y'all think thanks again for the advice

Re: would like some opinions
Thanks for the kind words I have talked to the guy about the boat more since I last posted about it and I am going to get it if all goes as planned just still not sure if I will be getting the carbon and Kevlar with the boat guess I will make my mind up on that when I can look at the boat and materials in person and see what all is there.
And since I am getting this boat without a windshield and I am still not really sure if my plan of getting a windshield from (GAstream) in burford Georgia is still on schedule or if he is still making them seeing i have only been in contact with him by email does anybody on here know of or have a windshield for sale anywhere between say Arkansas and Atlanta GA?

Stock windshields are HARD to come by. They crack easy when they are new let alone lasting 20-30 years.
