Got the hull on the rolling cradle. Had to adjust the bunks a bit and got it to sit well. When it comes time to flip it over, I'll just readjust the bunks to fit accordingly. The hull is at a good working height and the cradle is heavy enough that I'll be able to rig it with the engine prior to going back on the trailer. Starting to get pumped!!

That is a killer shop you got there, the boat is looking badazz and ready to see it in the finished form.

Adjusted the bunks and came up with a great, stable working height.

There's a lot of work to do before it's straight and crisp. It's a first generation design Viper bottom

Completely rebuilt the trailer while the hull was off. Came out pretty decent for a 1979 trailer. The bunks were adjusted when the hull was ready to go back on.

The bottom is now finished. I decided to fill in the pad and straightened/sharpened all the strakes and trailing edges. The boat won't be a cruiser so a performance bottom finish was done.
