vector restoration
I bought this from one of the members..worked a little on it and been kicking around how to "do it" while its been in storage for a year. Most of the old rotten waterlogged core peeled out easily by hand

some of the core was a bitch to get out..I now have two small holes where the chisel went through up under the bow.

thanks..I am still itching everytime I think about it. I am going to attack the dash next.... remove the wood,fill all the holes ect. I decided to crawl under the bow like you did yours (for the demo) instead of remove the top cap....

When I ground mine, I used a Tyvek top and pants. It breathes and keeps the dust off your open sweaty pores!!!

Nice job!! igot an 84 vector not in real bad shape it has been kept under a shelter so iam not in that bad of shape in fixing it iwas wondering if anyone has reinforced the bow deck.it seems a little thin some of the girls that ride with me want to get up there and tan (we have a spot about three miles long in between where we launch to the other side where everyone hangs out 15mph enforced) just wondering.
