Viking recore

[Hippie459MN]

Wonder if the Vulture would be the same seeing as all it is is a vking that was basically cut in the right behind the windshield frame mount and a few feet added. I will go snap a picture of it so you can see if mine is the same what your was. Then again, Mine has been redone at some point so no clue if its original up there anymore.

I guess it should be. I'd appereciate that! I just need an idea. I'm a big dude and may move it forward some. I'm going to keep the bulkhead in front of the seats the same. I am going to move the seats back an inch or so though. Yes I know I have to take some pic's and post them. The core is all in and laminated, very strong. I have the 2 bulkheads and floor to install and I can hang the egg beater! Between the wife, 18 year old daughter, weather, this, that, the other things including my job, it's taking for ever to get this thing done. But, it's gettin there.

Here is what my Vulture looks like. I was unable to get any measurements cause the girlfriend took off with my tape measure in my truck but i did get a few pics to kind of maybe give you an idea. Dont mind the mess either. lol

As for setting the seats back, I like the extra room plus it being a Vulture, Getting the weight to the back helps. I have both my seats and my steering set back 6 inches and I love it that way.



Of course the seats and floor rear of the seatbox is gone in this picture.

Hope that helps some.

Ok Thanks Hippie. looks like about 3'. I'm going to move that forward about 6". Cant go back to far with the front seats on mine. Gotta have room for the cooler. I can spare a couple of inches though.
Thanks again. Rick.

Ok, here's where I'm at. As you can see, the core is complete and laminated. I made a jig for a router from wood to cut the stringer height and what a pain that was. Took for ever. After work tomorrow I'm going to cut the footwell bulkheads an footwell floor. Hope to get the one up under the bow installed too. As you can see lots of sawdust from cutting stringer height. That was a pain.

Both bulkheads cut and ready to install tomorrow. Everything takes so long to do on this thing because it's all gotta be done by scratch. All the old parts (stringers,bulheads and stuff) were rotten and disinigrated. Gettin there though.
