INSTRUCTIONS 

We  are  ready  to  get  started  building  this  Vac-U-Vee  Jr.  Follow  the  photos  and  captions  to 
assemble  your  boat.  Read  through  the  instructions  before  building.  Assemble  the  necessary 
tools and adhesives on a clean workbench or table. Keep paper towels handy to catch spills. 
Don’t forget the safety glasses! 

With holding the hull upside down on the 

work surface, press a razor or hobby 

knife into the corners at the marked trim 

line.  

Rock the razor left and right until it 

cuts into the hull about this much.  

Repeat for the two corners at the 

stern. 

Removing these corners will give you 

a starting point for trimming with 

scissors.  

Cut with the boat on the right and the 

scrap on the left. Don’t cut near the 

tip of the scissors. If the tip of the 

scissors closes on the plastic it could 

cause a tiny crack.  

While holding the liner firmly in place, 

mark the edge to be trimmed with a 

pencil.  Trim the liner with scissors. 

 

Set the Hull Liner into the trimmed 

hull.  

Trim the deck starting with the bow 

and stern corners and your paint 

scraper. 

 

Pull down on the corners breaking 

them off as shown. Trying to cut the 

corners with scissors may split the 

plastic.
