    Let's Talk Big Twin/SpeediTwin

    I need some advice. I'm looking for a motor for my 14' rowboat. It's a pretty wide one at 62". Deep too, the transom is 16'' I believe. Short shaft anyway. I'm guessing the Sea Nymph is rated for a max of 25 hp. I'm on a tight budget as usual. I keep finding these boats (old glassers) with good...

    Re: 1967 Sea Nymph, 14' Here's another i have been eying. 52 Johnson? Looks like a 14' or 15', that trailer would be a good fit for the Sea Nymph. Hmmm what year is this?

    1967 Sea Nymph, 14'

    Well guys, I traded in the 67' Starcraft Sea Scamp for a little bigger boat. It's not a Starcraft:mad:, but it's aluminum. This sucker is wide, 62 inches! The Scamp was a cartopper so it was a little guy. This boat is more suited for the St. Clair River and the Bays of Lake St. Clair. Here she...

    Heat and humiduty vs Apint and Gluvit

    Hey Guys, It's been really hot here in the Lower Mitt. Nearly 100 degrees with 60% humidity. Can I still paint? How about Gluvit? I'm looking at brush or maybe roller. Should I wait, I really want to get the Scamp done so I can go to the Offshore though. Plus I removed the registration...

    Checking in with the Nation

    Hi to all my Starcraft buddies here. I've been side tracked this past winter and spring and I'm finally getting back to the boats. I just pulled the Sea Scamp out of the garage and we'll take her out in the morning. I have plans to finish the Offshore this summer and finally start using it. I...

    Restoring a Johnson CD-12, 1955 5-1/2

    I just bought a 1955 5-1/2 horse Johnson outboard. I plan on using it on my 12' Starcraft rowboat. I had planned on using a QD-16 (55' 10 horse) but opted for the lighter 5.5 horse. The $60 price helped sway me. It came with a 58', 5-1/2 that is a parts motor. I plan on tearing this one down...
