    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I dunno…. I think I just like punishing myself, or throwing money down holes in the water, and now on land lol. So this happened… I know what you’re thinking…. That could be a new boat motor right there!! But its not…. Admiral and I got this instead of renting one from other people for our...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Lucky the admiral isnt on this thread. She might crucify you for that idea!! Haha. The boys (12, 16, & bigger than me lol) and I have become friends after they bought the boat which was purchased with their own hard earned money. Started hunting with them and they fish/boat more than I do...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Keep reading about everyone else’s projects and Im getting the itch!! Been cranking out projects left and right around the house on the honey-do list, but havent gotten to my boat! The boys I sold my old boat to, which let me buy the starcraft, called me up cause they were having issues with...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Id just leave it, or add some epoxy to make up that 1/4” difference. Epoxy adds more than you’d expect to the overall size. Want to say my 2 coats with glass added 1/8” all around, so 1/4” maybe between 2 sides. Being slightly undercut isnt a bad thing if you are yet to epoxy. I may have...

    Keeping the Rain Out! SS16

    Yea…. Water along my gunnel would flow directly into the corner cap then down the transom wood into the bilge. Only saving grace is she is a fair weather trailer queen for now. Will keep all this in mind if she ever needs this issue fixed. Those channels in the corner caps look like a great idea!

    Keeping the Rain Out! SS16

    If I were doing my boat again AND planned on it being on a mooring with cover, I would definitely seal that inner splash guard trim piece. As far as the rear caps go, Id just seal is all up as best as possible and attempt to get the water to not flow into the boat. A design issue you have...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks CC. Yup plan is to consult the manual since I have it now. If I need to do a link/sync, thats fine. The butterflies are very well sync’d together, but not sure if it matches the timing/cam. Probably best to do it regardless. Ill rebuild the whole damn thing if I have to lol, just...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I didnt see any gear oil bubbling up like I did last time I had a leak. Also had a darker color to it. But only one way to find out…

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yea that was my other thought too. Really hoping thats not another issue since every seal in the lower gear case is less than 2 years old. Ill check the gear oil next time I work on her.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Will have to check in to my motor thread again soon, cause I was able to do a little tinkering today. Started off by finally doing my ole girl some justice and put some much deserved decals on. Then I tinkered with the motor and found a few issues. First, fired her up as she was and had...

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    Looks nice!! A two tone transom sitting on the water may look normal. On the trailer, a little weird maybe. My transom matches my bottom hull, so the color did not continue around the sides to the transom. The polished bottom looks so sharp! Wish I had that option.

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    Thats lucky then! And will look sharp being straight AL under that. I never had that option unfortunately cause my PO covered every square inch of the hull bottom with coat-it. If its sitting on the trailer, it will be fine curing over time. Winching it on the trailer, travelling to the...

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    Yup lots of steps to remember. But once I started painting, it really wasnt that bad to do. Mine dried normal, but dry is not cured!! After its dry, Id wait a bit before moving it to the trailer too. After 3 days, mine wasnt cured and took a little damage getting back on the trailer which I...

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    Man, not sure why my notifications on this thread were off since february! Keep up the good work, shes lookin nice. Cant wait to see the paint on her! Definitely the most nerve wracking part of my build.

    1987 Starcraft islander 190v?

    When you get it down to the bare hull, patch holes, replace the transom - thats basically the start of the full rebuild. Once your decks are solid and back in, the rest can be rebuilt as your money and time see fit. But you are setting the stage for a solid boat for many years. I still have...
