    IslandExplorer, if I had 1/8th of your motivation and drive, who knows what I'd get done around me house. Lol.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I have been a little lazy with the boat lately. It has been floating around 100 degrees the last few weeks here and our humidity stays around 50% or above so, it's hot. One of these days I will clean my garage out and have some work space. I am currently scavenging Facebook for scrap aluminum...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Thanks for the welcome Moserkr! The console is definitely home brew. It is ugly up close. Same for the transom, but it is in pretty good shape so I will probably leave it alone. As much as I want to go with an aluminum floor, I think I am going to install some more floor bracing and lay 1/2"...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Watermann, I was wondering the same thing. The vertical frames seem a little rough cut to be factory, but I really don't know. On one of the shelves inside has some more hinges in a package. Looks like a homemade job.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I got the floor removed and the waterlogged foam out. I need to finish some clean up, remove those runners, and start planning and framing the new floor. I really want to lay aluminum back in, but my budget says 1/2 exterior grade plywood with some sealer.

    Boat is slow

    I think it is a motor or trim issue. My 1989 Johnson Tracker 40hp takes a 12x17p.

    Boat is slow

    I think an 11 x 13p would be just fine.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Then, the cleaning started. I scraped all of the leaves and moss out with a rake, then let what was left dry for a day or 2. Then, I removed the seats, pedestals, and mounts. I power washed the inside in order to see what shape it was in. After that, I started pulling out the...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Well, thanks to some help in a Starcraft Facebook group, we have confirmed that this is a Mariner. It is titled as a 1966, but it doesn't look like they made a Mariner that year. Anywho, it had been parked in a field, nose down, slightly downhill, for a few years. It was about 1/3 full of water...

    Ndheep, what year is that motor? Is there an ID tag or number on it?

    I would look your motor up online and see what the recommended prop is instead of guessing at it and ordering props. I would think, even at only 40hp, you should get low 20s on speed once you get the right prop.

    Post a pic of your starcraft!

    Maybe a 1967 then? What is the SS?

    Post a pic of your starcraft!

    Well, I suppose it could be. I cannot seem to find any real good info on either or any kind of tag on this boat.
