    1987 Starcraft islander 190v?

    Im late to this party, but just in time for the best part - a splash!! Haha. Nice work. Wish I had access to free aluminum during my build.

    Starcraft console to Gunnel joint?

    On a trailer queen the thought never crossed my mind, but I fully understand your issue with it on a mooring. You are already aware of the windshield issue it would cause, and i cant see any problems beyond that. Another 3/4” or whatever it is higher shouldnt be an issue at all. Just be...

    New Journey

    Yes the coat-it would look horrid on an unpainted hull. A small bit of 5200 couldnt hurt then, I just wouldnt expect it to be permanent. On the seams inside, a few I hit more than once where I could see it had seeped in. Id just keep hitting it with gluvit inside until you feel comfortable...

    New Journey

    I would assume hammering rivets would not be good for the existing coatit. Not sure if covering up 5200 with gluvit would work, but seems redundant. A good coat of gluvit or coatit should stop the leak, especially if you can target exactly where it leaks inside. Id much rather hit the...

    The story of two motors - 75 Johnsons

    Man, reading that last post reminded me of the trip after it. UD started up great, was warming up as we got to the next arm of the lake, then boom, faceplant!! She started surging, died, and wouldnt get back up. Finally I was able to get her going and we crawled back to the dock at maybe...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Good weekend so far! Got most of my current honey do list done, and tore down the dirt bike as much as I needed to so I can take its shocks and carb into a pro shop for rebuilding. Which brings me to the boat…. Right now im on page 130/675 of the new motor manual, looking at carb cleaning...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yea I wouldnt worry about sharing them, especially if company's are selling photocopies anyway lol. I got a dirt bike manual for free off of a member of another forum. Worked out great. Glad you got your manuals! Well worth being the guinea pig haha.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Oh yea, I should mention that the service manual is definitely a copy of an original, complete with aged yellowish hue pages and ring holes. But the copy is outstanding. Crisp, clear, and complete.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I think it looks better in red than green!!! And @ShoestringMariner I took the chance and spent the $20 to buy the manual. It worked!!! I now own the factory service manual to my 1983 motor. For $20 I may buy the one for my 1978 motor too, but they are so similar I may not need to. I should...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Foam looks good! For leak testing, I fixed rivets first, then tested, then fixed remaining, then coat-it (gluvit). Opt A as you stated. Rivets you should replace are ones that are loose, missing (obviously), corroded, or tails are missing or low. Some can be re-bucked. Those splashwell...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Router would be much better than my method if you can, but I didnt own one at the time. Just dont forget to seal that wood from every angle and hole. I put spar down every bolt hole. On my transom I oversized the holes, epoxied, then drilled through the epoxy so no wood was ever exposed where...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Man Im glad I redid my boat before plywood doubled its already high price. 3/4” ply will do just fine for transoms and floor. Pretty sure mine was bcx, but PO installed it, I reused it. Whatever you do, put an aluminum backing plate on those bases under the floor, dont just screw or rivet...

    Supersports with tops?

    Thanks. Im not exactly sure, but when I looked online, a very common size is what they call 54” in height. To measure, they say measure from your mounting point to the desired height. So my 160ss has a 22” depth from the floor to the mounting point. Add 54” to 22” and thats 76”, divided by...

    Supersports with tops?

    See below! My only complaint is how tall it is, but i inherited it from the PO. Im average height so I could get away with a few inches shorter. Purely a cosmetic complaint. Protection from the sun is essential. They do have biminis that have the rear fixed support so I suppose you could...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Awesome! Glad you had a good time out there. Thanks for the idea about bypassing the fuel/water separator, was having issues with surging as well. Why didnt i think (of that)???

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I dont see why you cant add more wire onto the charger so long as its the same gauge. It cant be putting out so much energy to affect it. For battery placement, I like the areas around the consoles. Its where mine were prior to resto and adds balance nicely. When I put the fuel tank up...

    Supersports with tops?

    I bet there would plenty of room to step over the top when its down if you have a swim ladder and step platform. Plus if its hot enough for a dip, my bimini would be up. Thanks! Dash is mahogany, lightly stained and finished with 3 coats of spar. Floor is a faux teak hydroturf knock-off...

    Supersports with tops?

    These pics are when I was test fitting it. Close to where it ended up though - lays just beyond my fishing pole holders on the splashwell in the back. I can also flip it all the way forward if needed for some reason. I never found it to be an annoyance while not in use because if Im in the...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Yea something just like that! I want to say it was maybe @SHSU that had the removable casting deck piece. Its nice having the full casting deck level with your seat. I got a flush base so when the seats gone, theres nothing to trip on. But i cant remove my center section. Still have bow...
