79 viper build
Hello i just wanted to share and document my viper build. I bought the boat in april of 2019 and started cutting on it that winter knowing it needed a core, transom and floor. I have never owned a hydrostream and wanted the full experience from restore to scaring myself. I did not split the boat because it had a near prefect rub rail. The gel is pretty sun baked and the individual i bought it from refured to it as a non skid finish. Here are the pics from the beginning of the project

AWESOME! Another person to share in the misery, I mean joy, of rebuilding a Hydrostream.
You're off to a h*ll of a start. Looking forward to progress updates.

Actually im really not minding it. Was kinda a good way to not think about the every day BS and drama. Lint roller or masking tape worked great to get the glass out of the skin

Yeah, my garage has been my "safe space" as they would call it these days haha. Great way to stay distracted. I've throughly enjoyed my build. Looks like you're wearing a tyvek suit in your picture, thats a great first step to prevent itch. I've also found a pair of ladies nylons as a washcloth in the shower helps to pull the glass out after a day of grinding too. Steal an old pair from the wife.
