Re: 1980 Hydrostream Vector
Nice looking boat, I always liked the vector.
I would get rid of the rollers on the trailer and make a good bunk set up. The rollers put too much pressure in a small area and will distort the hull. Other than that it's looking good.
Are you planing on replacing the core?

Re: 1980 Hydrostream Vector
Bunks are a must. I have personally seen what rollers and a bad core can due to a hull over time and its not pretty. Looks like you have a great project there and look forward to seeing the progress.77viper wrote:I would get rid of the rollers on the trailer and make a good bunk set up.

I replied to your PM as well.

Re: 1980 Hydrostream Vector
1/2" bulsa is standard.
You definatly need to get rid of the rollers before recoring. If not the bottom will be a mess.

Re: 1980 Hydrostream Vector
Good morning Herbie, did you get into s&f? There are other forums with good info also as in Iboats. Just takes alot of time to read all this stuff but think it is time well spent. Lets see those new camera pics.
