After a bunch of years out of a Vbottom, and a brief stint in a tunnel... I decided i wanted a Vbottom again, and picked up a Viking project that has had the core, transom and floor replaced. The previous owner lost interest after finding an STV in his price range.

What ill be doing to this is finishing the splashwell delete, cutting the center steer boxes out and putting it back to side steer. Putting a windshield on it. Painting it (or gel). Resetting the trailer and wiring the trailer properly.

Seats will be from Buttraxx, motor is a 81 225, should go pretty good.

Maybe this year at the River Run you'll be able to drive OVER the waves:D:D

This one is a little more of a "dart" so it may go through easier!

I decided to go with center steer, and started on the dash work today. I'll be grinding out that filler on the deck and using glass instead of any fillers after talking with a few extremely knowledgeable fiberglass guys.519069519070519071

Yup, that's what they told me... so I'll grind it out and fill with fiberglass.
