    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @benfish909 😍 Battleship mentality lol. I dont remember reading that in your thread, may have just forgotten already. Was already thinking about putting extra plate behind it, but thats next level haha. Never even considered bolting. @SHSU Good to know you had the same issue basically...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Spent some time today cleaning up the remaining support brackets, knee brace, and other metal with the old nylox brush. Almost got it all. Ran into two issues - had a rusted self tapping screw stuck in one of the knee brace holes. Then from my hammering, grinding, and drilling that out, I...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU haha thanks! Bunch of good thoughts right there from all your experience. I considered wood paneling and its still on the table as an option. Plan to stop at the orange box tomorrow for a few little things for riveting, and to get a better idea on wood plans. At least I measured tonight...

    Been wasting time looking at pics of boats, boat parts, motors, lol you get the point. Then UPS man came unexpectedly... rivet gun is here!!! Time to unbox my air compressor now that I know it is powerful enough to run a 4x gun. Read the rivet gun instructions and looks like I need to keep...

    Was reading the original part and thought bummer, no boat. Then scroll down and im late to the party lol. Glad I saw just as you got her!! Congrats! Will look forward to the rebuild, especially since she looks to be in excellent condition.

    @SHSU yes she is! Thanks, lots of elbow grease. You have a sharp eye. Yes I left under there alone as I plan on covering it with wood, and putting foam between that and the hull. Going to have brackets and braces that allow me to run wood panels from the transom to the front of the consoles...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @classiccat lmao damn wood once it got to CA it identified as a different species. Mahogany it is. Looks nice and is plenty tough. Put my full weight on it and it didnt flex at all. Boat is hand washed and back in the garage!! Washed my truck and Admirals car too while i was at it...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Live update during my lunch break. Nyloxing the old glue is done, all thats left it the few bits of rust/corrosion on the floor. Then its time for a bath!!! Also got the bow wood pieces sanded, and the visible wood piece has now been stained (red oak color). Admiral’s orders. She also...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU not sure why they put the drain hole up so high either. Im not too keen on drilling another hole though. Will take a closer look, but i dont want to have to use 2 plugs. No live well or reason to use another hole. Got a ton done today. Spent some time nylox wheeling everything, and...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Almost to riveting!! Guns still in the mail, but my rivets are here. Also ended up just nylox wheeling the glue/paint off since I had already started. Wasnt that bad once I got going, just took a few beers. Those beers also included getting my knee brace and transom shelf off, as well as...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Decker83 Really.... and I thought I was all done with kleen strip lol. Going to have to give that consideration. It would take probably 2 more hours to polish that glue off with the drill. @SHSU Now why didnt I think of that?! At this point Ive deconstructed so much of the boat, whats a...

    I like the battleship mentality. She will be ready for WWIII!! Crazy how much pitting that has there. Need to pull out my knee brace and see if theres any gremlins under mine.

    1978 18ft Mariner Floor Rip Out: I have some questions..?

    Im putting a 17g fuel tank in the bow of my 16’ boat, with a 75 johnson in the back. Im sure it would balance with your longer boat even better. My stern always sat low in the water compared to the bow, even with 2 people at the consoles.

    1978 18ft Mariner: I won this "Pig in a Poke" on Ebay..!

    @BigMega I see the floors were pretty much mulch. Still plenty of potential! Are you planning on rebuilding a new center console?

    Very nice! She looks to be in good shape. No floors either so seeing if rivets are bad will be easy. What are you planning on powering her with?

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU I take it you left the old glue then to cover it with vinyl. I was just going to paint it, cause thats cheap, but the old glue is so bumpy it would look horrible. So had to remove the old glue to smooth it to paint, then I figured why even paint?! It took me around 45 min to do half the...

    @classiccat Awesome! Thanks. Then thats on the list to get and do. At least all my cuts of AL will be covered up so no one can see how bad they were hahaha.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Found 1/8” 5052 AL 4x8’ sheet for $180. 1/16” for $120. @classiccat I believe I read you cut your own sheets with a jigsaw? Also is the HF bending brake able to bend that 1/8” sheet? Id rather go big with the bracing than small. I want to do the braces under the gunwale shelf, and the L...
