    A little History

    I know the toy twin pod cloud car from Star Wars you're talking about but never have seen a boat made into it.

    1982 MR 180

    Music Folder Player Free is what I use, plays and plays all the music on my data card, also not too bad for ads.

    1982 MR 180

    I have a new system still in the box I haven't used because it was much easier to just take a Bluetooth speaker and play from my phone.

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    I'd venture a guess at around 1800 - 2000 lbs tops with your trailer.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Merry Christmas, hope everyone has a great holiday.

    So far around 40" here in the past month.

    1982 Starcraft Center Console 18' Rebuild

    How large are the corrosion holes and areas that are weakened? A closer pic showing the corrosion would help. Assuming this is the keel strake and only where the 2 red dots are but I also see you have removed the other 2 strakes as well.

    Looking at this Chieftain 21ft, what questions should I ask?

    I get that, all the boats I've bought were pretty much a basket case so I knew what I was getting. They've done some serious work on their old Chief, any insight into why they want to sell? Chief looks great in the pics, only thing I can see that you may look at closer are the trailer bunks...

    1985 22' MR220V Mariner

    Yeap that's what I've seen guys use and then use the split corrugated stuff once above deck.

    1985 22' MR220V Mariner

    Nice Mariner, what's the motor? Looks like a V6 Johnson.

    Looking at this Chieftain 21ft, what questions should I ask?

    Did you get the Chief? I'd like to see some pics if you did. :) A 115HP OB would be fine for that boat and get you around 35MPH but you would want a smaller kicker for trolling and another way to port if the main had an issue.

    1985 22' MR220V Mariner

    That's a standard mess we see and yeah it needs rewired to avoid fire hazards, I see a bunch of sketchy connections. Most Mariner guys will run the wiring in conduit up to the center console. Us side console guys have all the mess inside the starboard gunnel hanging down in a rats nest.

    1972 Starcraft Nova

    You 72 would have limber holes bent into the rib for water passage to the bilge but they get clogged up pretty easy. Some guys clean them out with a hacksaw blade. You can start by using a pressure washer or whatever you have and spray water at the rib end openings. The later 70's they quit even...

    Model of early 80s IO StarCraft?

    Yeap, exactly what mine looks like too, a 78 model year made in 77 according to the HIN.

    1968 StarCraft Holiday restoration

    I was thinking you may have had an older dog eared prop that came on the 4cyl motors of the era but that one does have some cupping but the rake is pretty tame. The pic is of a Turning Point Hustler, a good priced AL prop that has all the SS features, substantial cupping, aggressive rake and...

    1968 StarCraft Holiday restoration

    What is the prop make and model? Some have little to no cupping and more of a tame rake. The cupping gives the prop more bite and will lower RPMs a couple hundred just by that feature alone. Diameter won't help much as you're pretty close to the max there. You can always increase the pitch...
