    anyone ever do this on chieftain 18?

    Anything is possible depending on money and skill level. My only issue is an 18' Chief doesn't have a whole lot of deck space to begin with and most the weight is towards the stern so losing space and adding weight to the stern.

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Yeah the intricacies of electrical work is as much an art form as it is an exercise in OCD destruction. :LOL: I put everything inside loom and used a bunch of zip ties. Once done and tested to work I made sure everything was tied up, hidden and called it good. The main thing is fused primary...

    Welcome aboard, yeah you'll just have to power her up and start flipping switches to see what they do and then label them.

    1965 star craft

    It's always about your location for boat prices but that would be a good deal for that package.

    1975 Starcraft Capri 15 - Rubrail Cap

    That's going to be a tough one seeing it's the splashwell caps, there's a place online that sells salvaged boat parts but can't promote them here, Great Lakes is part of it.

    1973 16' Starcraft Super Sport new to me

    That wood pile should keep you warm for a while during the STHF.

    1984 starcraft islander

    Oh man that one's got twins. Nice SC projects that have all their parts is very rare now days. Lots of hard work ahead starting with the total gut and on to hull repairs.

    68 Offshore restoration

    Never have used 1/4" rivets only 3/16". Machine screws and nuts will work, I'd use nyloc nuts so you don't have to worry about them loosening up.

    1968 StarCraft Holiday restoration

    Talk about a crying shame, makes me feel a bit sick to my stomach to see the pics and knowing how much hard work as well as heart that went into your holly. 😢

    What year hulls are the same as the 1968 Holiday 18'?

    Far as I know hulls for the holiday and Chief have been the same from 1965 until late 70s, 1978 for sure from what I've seen.

    68 Offshore restoration

    Am I seeing that right, it looks to me like the spray rail split out and someone beat the heck out of it with a hammer to close it up and then put some chicken scratch welds on it? Be sure to inspect the bottom closely for any rib end cracks as well.

    1978 SS 16 restoration

    Looking super nice! Just about there. My rebuilds took over a year and that was working on them every free minute. When I started getting a bit burned out, I took off some time from work and did a resto blitz week rather than stopping progress and that put me over the hump for just finishing...

    1987 Starcraft Islander 220V Rebuild

    Looking great! 👀 Won't be long now, the tough part is behind you on this one. On the foam, nothing dams and then soaks up water like expanding foam as it does conform as well as bond to the Al while the foam board just sits on it allowing water to pass underneath to the center low point.

    Searching for a Starcraft transom cap.

    Those type caps are rare as hens teeth, mainly because they have that handle and guys use them as tie downs which will break the cast Al.
