Lats 2 places I was going to work on mine at fell through so its no go for me right now. I was planning on having all the core and transom out by the end of the year but not gonna happen unless I can find some work space before then.

Good luck and keep them pictures coming. :D
If I had all that land you have, I think I would have a pole barn with about 5 projects in it. Have ya thought about it? LOL I'm sure you have

Trust me, I would love to but being a truck driver and the economy not being so hot work has been super slow and then add a 4 1/2 month old kid into it and money is more than tight. :(

Looks like the airplane hanger place to work on the boat fell threw. :? Suprise. :o Oh well. I'll keep looking while I get as much done w/o removing the stringers as possible. If I get that far, I'll get it off the trailer and work in the garage. :D I'd like to buy another boat if I can get a place to work on VNo2. Them I could prep another boat. Rick, if you had a pull barn you'd have more friends then you need. :pound:

I'll be knocking out more core today. It's slow and the holidays are cutting into the progress. Might get a few of the jasckplate bolts loose today if I feel up to it.

When in doubt, cut em out! I hope mine come loose fairly easily. How much set back is on your jackplate? I have a 10" set back on mine and hear that is about ideal for a vulture to get more of the weight to the real of the bow to get more bow lift out of them. But thats just what I have read. I have seen a vulture with 12" setback that ran great and one with 6" set back that ran great too but never know, they could each have run better with more or less. I just dont know but I am sticking with my 10". :)
