    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Ive driven all 3 newer full size ford, ram, and chevys, in diesel though. Ram was the best bang for the buck but rode rough. Chevy was much more refined than the ram but fell short of a ford. IF you can afford it, Ford was the best truck I drove. Im sure it will meet your needs and exceed...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Slowly but surely, getting the gears winding up again. This just happened… New to me cylinder head/cover for the ugly duckling sitting on the boat! Hoping it gives me the parts to have 2 complete motors. Still need to order the manuals to go along with it. First boat part I ordered in...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Ive owned a few rams and know many family/friends that have them. If its mechanically sound at the time, I would hold onto it after having it gone over by a good mechanic. My BIL has a ‘08 Ram with 250k+ and it sounds ridiculously good when running. Sure a 3/4T would be better but its not...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I was able to get the truck under it completely with an inch or so to spare!! Plenty of clearance is right lol. No winching required. Found my manuals through ken cook for around the same price as ebay - roughly $140 per motor. Its on the list and Ill pull the trigger fairly soon. Put a...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Happy Thanksgiving!! Haha thanks guys! So far the neighbors love it so no worries on the hoa. It is painted and blends in great. All done, and my truck even fit!! Used the front receiver hitch to pull ithe boat up into place. I have about a foot on each side of the trailer, but with my...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Roof is on and the lean-to has been primed!! Paint sprayer sure came in handy, wish I had that for my boat before lol. Once everything else is done on the boat, interior in and motors running, I think ill sand down her sides and give her another coat with the spray gun. Thats a ways off but...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Haha thats true I could air them down a little. I live in the forest so no need for a lawn tractor. An atv for hunting, with a snow pIow?? Absolutely!! I actually would have to go in head first with my truck if it fits lol. Cant back in due to the antenna being on the drivers side. But i...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Measured for the truck again…. It **may** just barely fit. Either way, main structure is up! Just need to reinforce before prime/paint. Then roof it and paint that too - a plain metal roof wont blend in well. You can see my steep driveway and sharp turn in the background.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yes it will! I cant wait. Part of the project will be to widen my driveway too, and put in a low, rock retaining wall to manage debris from the hillside. Then add a little more gravel too. I wish the truck would fit under the lean-to but its just barely too short on that one side. We shall...

    I think that TJ just needs some 60s under it, a stretched wheel base, and airbags for that 15 min tow… 😅. Then go nuts on a boat too.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Haha no such toys. But the in-laws have that stuff. Just as easy to throw a chain on it and winch it back under - truck has a 9k warn on it. Need to borrow a paint sprayer and find the right color paint tomorrow. Frame is 75% done and the rest will go up quick now. Should have its roof on...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Im back!!! Well…. Its been an interesting year. Ive been MIA due to hunting season, which has gone well so far. I didnt get a big buck, or an elk, but I passed on some young deer, caught some nice fish (from shore lol), and helped some young men get their first deer. The forest fires and...

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

    Gluvit and coat-it are basically the same thing. I dont think many guys put it on the outside of the hull, but it shouldnt affect performance. It just doesnt look great on the outer hull - in some spots it made it look like I had horrible paint drips. Where I taped it off, it looks much cleaner.

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

    My hull had coat-it on the outside of the hull put on by my friend i bought it from. He only did below the water line but it sure does show through paint. The hull had dents n dings so looks didnt matter all that much to me. I ended up putting coat-it above the waterline on the bow rivets on...
