    Could have been worse! Too bad it ruined work plans but glad you're alright.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I used coat-it inside the hull and my PO used it outside on the whole bottom of the hull. I dont leak a drop. It seeped into a few spots on the seams noticeably, and otherwise made a nice covering on each rivet inside. Where it seeped in I hit it again and it didnt seep in anymore. No...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Id put the gluvit right over the factory goop and thats it. If anything, apply a second layer of gluvit if needed. No 5200 on top of it. Paint not necessary but you could. I noticed where I painted over some 5200 on my transom, paint started to crack as the 5200 shrunk.

    1970’s StarCraft 21’ Cuddy Cabin

    Welcome @AlamoJack !! Lots of pictures are always appreciated, especially when you have a big puzzle to finish. Cool thing about these old aluminum boats is that they can be customized to whatever suits your needs. Its all fairly simple once you figure out what goes where, and you came to the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thank you. It turns a lot of heads and only I notice all its imperfections lol. When you know every square inch its hard not to, but all that work is worth it when she gets compliments. Best part it is how these boats ride, just cut through the water and keep going. 44 years n counting.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Just a little fun on the Sacramento river over the weekend. I had never boated a river before. She handled everything flawlessly, including dodging debris and submerged trees. Took a few friends for a ride down to a charity club event, probably 20 miles. Burnt more fuel than I ever have...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I believe watermann gave the advice of running a magnet along each rib to help clean them out. Cant tell you how much ferrous metal I found that was lodged in there. After that they flushed out quite well.

    Flex Seal on a Leaky Aluminum Boat?

    A previous owner covered the outside hull below waterline with coat-it. Its extremely durable and already UV resistant. I covered it with paint cause it looked ugly. Also sealed my rivets with it inside. I couldnt remove the stuff with paint remover and sand paper on an orbital is the only...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    That all sounds like a good plan. Seal the rivets inside the hull, below waterline, with gluvit or coat-it. Other than that you will never see under the floor boards so painting down there is just unnecessary.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Front section is the bow. Start by getting your new foam and floors in first. To keep the floor from bowing you have to use a backer between the floor sheets, either AL or wood. AL is lighter and stronger. The AL starcraft used though is too thin and will let the floor bow. Then use some LF...

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    One of my favorite parts of the resto - a super clean, bright bare hull. Best way to get a clean, no mess foam cut is a hot wire. I used a jigsaw and made a mess..

    Looks great but man that deck is tall. Not worried about falling overboard? Putting a railing around it or something?
