Currently have a '79 vector that is complete and used just about every weekend. Besides it being a blast to drive, there are a lot of things I would love to change. So I decided to reach out and try and find another vector hull to do a total restoration on. After completion, my plans are to source out power, etc... and then sell my current as is.
A member, Bill, mentioned having a hull and willing to donate to someone willing to do the restore... Also living 3.5 hours away, I decided to go pick up it up that weekend.
It will be a month before I dig in physically, but my first problem to overcome is the lack of paper work with the boat. Supposedly the boat is an 83' (I believe) and has never been registered. It will be registered in NC.
I have never done glass work but want to learn (I feel it is a necessary skill to have if one is interested in the performance boat world) . I still have no idea what material to use, the more I read, the more I flip-flop between wood and composite. The only reason I have been leaning more towards composite is due to resale value and the skill with working with composite with future boats as well.
Here are some photos of the new project boat and the problem areas.
