    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    As of now, my plan is to tuck the cap under the rub rails and then use the threaded inserts to bolt it down across the transom wood and forward support framing. My engine should be pretty accessible to do maintenance on, but for the occasions that more access is needed I'll have to unbolt it...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I was thinking about framing it with aluminum too. The only option to do that might be to weld it on though, because it needs to be able to lay flush.

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I took the old transom cap in to a sheet metal shop yesterday. They're going to re-cut me a new one so I'll have fresh metal with no holes. I'm going wider. it's ~15" now and I'm going to go to ~30". Then, after I build a new support structure, lay out the new cap, and double check it, I'm going...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    A while ago I read somewhere not to fill my boat too much when I do the leak test, too much weight. Instead use a few inches of water, dye it red with food coloring so you can see it leaking, slosh it around, and circle the leaky rivets with a grease pen. Is that still the method people are...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Out with the old. I spent a few hours today unloading the boat, taking out the seats, engine cover, and I removed my transom cap. My first order of business is the transom cap. It has holes, some pretty good dents in it, and I think I've talked myself into going a little wider with it. It's...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I'm going to add a stereo to the boat. I don't want anything that's super loud. Basically a good quality stereo with sound equivalent to a factory car stereo would be great. The speakers are going to be mounted in the side panels when they are re-built. Any recommendations are appreciated.

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Hi, I'm back, and I'm ready to finish up on a lot of the cosmetic work that's left on my boat. If everything goes well I'd like to spend the next couple of months getting it ready to go to the shop and have the side panels, engine cover, jump seats, and some of the other cosmetics rebuilt/fixed...

    Help Identifying Trailer (see pictures)

    Hi, I just recently purchased a trailer and I'm trying to identify it. It is tube framing and it has long steps in front of, and behind the fenders. Other than that, I see a lot of VIP boats on them. I don't know if VIP made their own trailers though. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Engine Repower

    Hi, I'm a new Starcraft owner, and I am new to iboats.com. I went through and read a lot of the forums here when I was researching my boat. I bought a 1966 Holiday I/O, 18 foot model. I like the boat and bought it with the intention of keeping it for at least 15 years. It had the original 110...
