    60hp vs 75hp for 160ss

    Thanks @DLNorth thats my thinking as well. Currently have a 75hp omc (powerhead rated). It has always been a bit slow to get out of the hole when we are loaded up. Top speed was decent. Pulling a tube was hard on her with a bunch of people. Id like to be able to pull an adult skier up with...

    1968 StarCraft Holiday restoration

    That is heart breaking. Let your mind clear before digging in. If the hull isnt punctured or folded she may be salvageable, but that looks like a hard hit. Sorry to see that happen. Cant imagine how you’re feeling. Will pray for the best.

    60hp vs 75hp for 160ss

    Hey Starmada! The lakes n rivers are full out here and winter is still coming! Currently in a blizzard and expecting 3-7’ of snow!! Thank the Lord I didnt try to restore my boat this year - the winter I chose never saw a foot of snow. We have feet on the ground already and its cold!! Its...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Glad you’re having decent weather to work this winter! I rebuilt my boat during a mild winter and glad I did cause this years bad! But that means water in the lakes…. All caught up, keep up the good work!

    I remember being in your shoes, feeling a bit burnt out. But seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, thats when you double down and just hammer it out!! 6 months is pretty quick and shes looking good. The home stretch will be here before you know it.

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    You can fill it but it can be hard on the hull when sitting on the trailer. A lot of weight with minimal distribution compared to it sitting on a lake as intended. Another option is just put a little water in it and move it around, side to side, front to back. Less stress then, same goal...

    Since it sounds like you are rebuilding the metal consoles, you could tilt the steering mount and gauges panel up even move than 45*. The steering wheel does sit quite low and seeing as Im average height, its very low for a tall person! Raising up the windshield would be a huge undertaking...

    68 Offshore restoration

    Id love to see it work using stainless blinds. Thats some deep thinking and diving into uncharted territory, hence the skepticism here. You’ve definitey given it some good thought. I briefly glanced back through your thread, thought someone mentioned using dissimilar metals. I know we all...

    68 Offshore restoration

    I will say a new rivet, even closed blind, will probably be stronger than a lot of the 50 year old solid rivets. Before I tore my boat down, it spent a summer on the water with around 30 open blind rivets. I lost a rivet completely one day and that hole almost sank the boat in 3 hours, had...

    68 Offshore restoration

    Good Morning Sharpie! Glad to have you here sharing your build with us. My first thought is replacing solid rivets with closed end blind rivets. They may be waterproof for a while, but they arent as strong as a solid rivet. Eventually I would think they will leak, especially in any position...

    Great progress! Transom is a major milestone. Passenger side fuel tank will be interesting, would like to see some pics of that set up in place. Should balance decent especially with it balancing your own weight out. My boat likes to lean towards me when Im solo and Im not that big of a guy!

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    I think a 4hp kicker would probably be minimal and would be over-worked in the long run, especially in currents. Interesting half-open bow idea! Curious to see how it turns out. Definitely makes the space more useable and the anchor accessible.

    Each of these boat’s build thread definitely deserves a full read through. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays with family and friends!!

    1978 SS 16 restoration

    A fill in the center of the splash well would look nice. Part of the reason I went with a permanent tank was not wanting to crawl into my boat to fill her up. Believe the one I remember seeing on a build was on the port side but the gentlemen did not have a big fuel tank so he could fit it on...
