82' vector rebuild PICS
THESE PICS HAVE ALREADY BEEN POSTED ON THE POWERTOUR THREAD .......THOUGHT I'D GET EM ALL IN ONE PLACE
well the project is coming to the end.....almost ready for the water (hopefully this month!!)
this is an 82' vector i talked a buddy into building last year. got it for free from a family member and gave it a compete over haul!!
we used my vector as the guinea pig and figured out all the "well that didn't work" 's. we're not professionals by any means but this one came out bada$$ im jealous
its built the same as mine as far as core and structure.....built not concerned about weight but longevity. tried a few different things on the hull (cosmetics) and modified bottom in an experiment to "MINIMIZE" the hop that most vector have......we'll see(might need some fine tuning)
enjoy
as it sat untouched for 10yrs
rotten core
core coming out
foam ....foam ........and more foam
