    Leaking at a rivet

    No boat is free and sometimes they are the most expensive. If the floors and transom are good, you could probably fix those leaks pretty quick by taking her apart minimally. Id keep trying to find the leak if you want to use it for the summer before an overhaul. Not great to put water in the...

    Leaking at a rivet

    Thats a lot of water to be taking on. Definitely more than just one or two rivets leaking. Prior to my resto and temporarily taking out bad solids for blinds, I was taking on that amount of water with 40+ bad rivets. My boat had hit a log and one side basically broke half of its rivets due to...

    Bet that cut woke you up quick! Anything into the nail bed does not feel good. Glad that was all.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I fully understand! Before I bought my starcraft I had a 1436 jon boat too! One kid, Admiral, and 2 big dogs - it was way too small and tippy. Your family will enjoy this boat much more when you finish it! Definitely carries a sense of pride cruising in a boat you built vs one that someone...

    Center console project

    I thought about what Id do if I put an offshore bracket on my boat. Answer was a bigger trailer. Then a support for either the bracket and motor or motor alone. Someone who has done this before you will have the answer. But rolling down a bumpy road for a long distance with that hanging way...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Welcome junkman! Nice save from someones junk pile. Im no expert but the console, transom, and those side hatch doors all look like PO work to me. Nice boat you have though. Turning it back into a fishing boat? 1/2” ply was what starcraft originally used, nothing wrong with that. Just dont...

    Rear casting deck builds

    If I put a rear casting deck in, I would design it like the modern boats do. It would require modifying your splash well. Make the SW smaller and centered, drop its height to the lowest point of the transom. Then build the deck around the SW and out as far as you want. See pic below and note...

    Leaking at a rivet

    Watching the bilge pump run for minutes at full blast was something to see. But I put a blind rivet with sealant in that hole and used it a few more times that summer. Im on a medium sized lake though, never more than a minute from any shoreline. If I had an automatic bilge installed I would...

    Leaking at a rivet

    I wouldnt use flexseal, bedliner, or a 2-part epoxy for a temporary blind rivet fix. 5200 is your best bet and you will need it anyway in the future for a proper fix. Goop works but comes off easier and is a one-part sealant. Just remember that solid rivets are structural, so using a blind...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    A day full of smiles is all you can ask for!! Lake was beautiful today. Stayed calm and glassed until late afternoon. Not very crowded either as most the out-of-towners head home on Sundays. Next lake we go to will be a new one way up high where there is stunning scenery and lots of big...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Went on a blitz today in the heat so I am not only done working on the boat for the lake tomorrow, but done working on it for the summer! I cut around 4” off the bimini cause I always thought it looked too tall. Found out my bimini mounting brackets were off by around 2” from the PO, and...

    Center console project

    The foam doesnt hold much heat from what Ive noticed. Great to walk on barefoot, stuff is damn near indestructible. Just doesnt like gasoline (will bubble) or oil (stains). Im sure theres a way to get the potato chip oil stains from the kids out of mine lol. I was anti-carpet so my floor is...
