    1965 Starcraft Holiday Restomod

    Sorry to say but that original 1965 Mercruiser is pretty much obsolete. I suggest finding a complete Alpha series donor boat. The MC section here had some very knowledgeable people.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Having some small leaks in my boats that never kick on the bilge pump over an entire day on the water I call success but there's always some that gets in just not much. Here's my SS bilge pump set up, I strongly suggest a separate float switch.

    1979 Starcraft 22' v5 center console rebuild

    The mystery machine V5 :) I have to go with a conversion after seeing that cap plate and there were no livewells in SC boats of the 70's until the Super Fisherman. It would be the first 70's V5 Mariner I've ever seen. The SS was rated at 240 before having it's guts torn out, consoles and side...

    For the wheel apply pulling force while using a hammer tapping the shaft with the nut on a few turns.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Not too many guys have got a fuel tank under deck on a 16'r, most I've seen here have given up on the hope and gone above deck. I'm rooting for you! Just be sure to give the details for those who follow. :) That sort of SW damage can be just from heavyweights walking or standing in and on the...

    Welcome aboard, Well now that is a different take, I see now why nobody else had the same idea, a chopped rat rod steam punk hard top? :unsure:

    Replace Starcraft 191 main deck

    The quickest way to remove deck rivet heads and screws is with a cut off wheel on an angle grinder to zip them off. Yeah pour in foam removal is a pain, most guys just start digging it our with a small shovel the same way you eat an elephant, one bite at a time.

    1988 Starcraft Mariner MR 220 V rebuild

    Welcome to the fray, hope you catch some nice ones. Those spots on the transom look like they have been sanded on to get a better look, unless you zoom in on them it looks really bad. Are there pinholes on the outside is why the sanding?

    Wow that is a great AC set up, here all I worry about is heating my garage especially this time of year.

    1970 starchief

    That hose coming from the transom is what supplies raw water to cool the motor, the obstruction is the water pump in the lower unit.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Welcome aboard Moserkr, I've seen some good things happen to old bad boats but oh man that boat you got there isn't one of them :rolleyes: that color combo 😂 Don't mess with leaky fuel tanks, just get rid of them. I'm sure that SHSU has eyed every prefab fuel tank out there last year looking...

    What did I do wrong with Transom?

    And installed the SW too, must have partially filled with water and sat submerged for years then. :unsure:
