    71' Offshore-V 18 - Prize Catch

    Experimented with the extruded polystyrene and found a way to put it down so it's nice and solid. Plywood decking went in to make sure it fits and sure enough it felt like a boat again !

    71' Offshore-V 18 - Prize Catch

    Painted the seams and rivets with gobs of gluvit. I did as much as I could then I did my aluminum canoe because why not. Then put what I had left all around the transom and keel. I still had a bit left but was getting hard

    Hey Gents ! I'm still lurking around haha. Haven't posted any progress for a while so I thought I'd bump my thread. Busy with family and a new position at work this year but still keen on making this happen. So I was cleaning the hull in prep for the gluvit and noticed the one area I never...

    1963 Starcraft dart

    Alas, when I acquired my 66 Dart it was already gutted and the original pieces were long gone. It was just a shell of its former glory. But it had good bones and all I really needed was a sturdy fishing boat for the many small lakes nearby.

    Bowrider ID

    I believe the Supersport 16 was introduced in 1968 and came in green. This brochure pic is from 1969. The other attached pic is one for sale in my area right now for $2000. Notice the shape of the side window it has a curve to it and the shape of the bow rail.

    71' Offshore-V 18 - Prize Catch

    Thanks gents ! I kept my rollers in case this didn't work out and wanted to switch back. Also considered rollers on the fore and bunks on the aft. I don't think the rollers are all that bad but I saw a boat roll off a trailer once at the top of a ramp.

    Bunks are done. Used two 10 ft 2x4 pressure treated lengths. Carpet I found at H-Depot, got a returned piece or roll end half price with plenty to spare. Thanks for the tips ! A buddy of mine made me some stickers for the project.

    71' Offshore-V 18 - Prize Catch

    Ran new wire for my trailer lights and found the cover was cracked on one side. Looking to upgrade to LED but I wanted to keep the retro look, and all the LED kits were kinda pricey. Bought cheapo basic round lights and made my own LED retro fit replacement. I did this exact thing for my...

    71' Offshore-V 18 - Prize Catch

    The rubber in the rub rails shrank a bit it seems, or it was just stretched out when installed. Having a hard time getting the screws to line up for the caps. But the paint is on the hull ! When I tried spraying the final coats with the hardener I chose the worst possible time of day and caught...

    71' Offshore-V 18 - Prize Catch

    Sanded and scuffed, lightly primed the bare areas. I've been cleaning and rinsing the hull well. This isn't a pic of the finished primer job. I rigged up a dolly so I can move the boat in and out of the garage easy.

    I have a new wiring kit for the trailer even though this one still works the wires are brittle. The rollers are all in perfect shape and everything moves freely. I pulled the boat off the trailer with one hand. Also put on a new winch strap

    71' Offshore-V 18 - Prize Catch

    That's no glasser ! that's a welded aluminum hull. It has some resale value, I hope to sell it to recoup some cash for a bimini. I'm only using it because it's water ready and a pretty cool old boat.

    71' Offshore-V 18 - Prize Catch

    I've been using the Crestliner as my "practice boat". I've never owned a boat this big and it's a bit different than what I am used to. For a 17 foot boat it's very big, maybe deeper than the Offshore. Taken it out a few times now, catching some walleyes ! Not much progress to report on the...

    125 evinrude electric shift - save or sell

    I have a 125hp evinrude with electric shift that came with a boat I picked up last year. It sat in a field for 9 years before I brought it home. The PO assured me that it was running fine when he parked it. I've never even tried to start it up. I took it off the boat right away so I could strip...
