    Working on the starcraft

    Well today I got the vhf radio wiring done, the old cassette radio out, and finished cleaning. I am lucky enough to have it inside the pole barn so it was not bad out today. Any one else getting the itch to work on and get the boats ready? What did you do today?

    how fast do you think it will go?

    I will be getting the 135hp on her soon. Still a long way off from liquid water here yet. So it is a 19' superfisherman 1991 with a 135 going on her. I believe the boat weighs 1100 pounds plus motor of 365lbs? I was just wondering what kind of speed it will do.

I want to add an additional battery to my boat and one will be an optima car battery that I bought for a vehicle last year and never installed it, so is there any difference? Also I have heard that...

    Bought different one

    I read about the 125 hp on another site(I feel dirty now):eek: The reviews were not good. It has a 4 x 2 design I understand and it has a lot of problems. I ended up with a 135 hp black max 1986 vintage that was completely rebuilt by a guy that works in Appleton at the Merc plant. New...

    Darn near 50 tomorrow so...

    I think I may wash and wax my new to me tinny. I think I will change over the fish finder off the old fiberglass boat, and the ship to shore radio and antenna. What is the best to use to seal up unused holes in the fiberglass one and the starcraft tinny? On the dash top should I just use some...

    100hp merc question

    so I finally got the cover and tested the compression on the 1991 motor. No compression on the top cylinder. I would like to take the cylinder head cover off and take a look. I was told that there is no conventional head but it looks like one to me. spark plugs come out and I believe if I...

    Weight difference between 2 motors

    Does anyone know off hand the weight difference of a 91 100hp merc and a 88 150 hp black max merc? I can pick one up pretty cheap and might go for the upgrade. My tinny is only rated for a 135 max, but is 15hp really that much more?

    This might be a repost cause I cannot find the other one!

    I thought I asked earlier about trolling motors. I have a 19' Starcraft superfisherman and will be using it mainly in Canada. I like the idea of the Engine mounted trolling motor on the cavitation plate. I just use it to go backwards or forwards to keep in place mainly. $600.00 is about the...
