    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Starting at the very bottom, was actually thinking of using the original small center stringer as the center fuel tank support. I would just cut it way down, bend the top back to a Z, and rivet it to the AL bottom plate. The bottom plate would cover the whole base of the fuel tank and tie into...

    My First StarCraft; 1975 18' SuperSport

    Not condescending at all!! My experience level is definitely beginner... obvious by how I started my motor all last year lol. Good to know that the starter fluid is not good for the motor... which brings me to motor plans since we are on the subject. I have two as you may remember from my...

    My First StarCraft; 1975 18' SuperSport

    Appreciate the advice!! Considering I was using my warm up lever as a choke along with a healthy amount of starter fluid, I have reason to believe starting will be much easier this year lol. I still have a carb rebuild kit but not sure which path I will take since I have 2 motors. That will...

    My First StarCraft; 1975 18' SuperSport

    Hahaha I just mute the stock music when its on. After watching it again and being at a halfway point with my build, seeing all your work definitely puts all that effort into perspective. Hundreds of hours of hard work at a minimum. Im still a FNG - whats MMO?? Thats a good video and I like...

    @SHSU Thanks! Just got the transom completely drilled out today and cleaned out the boat for its bath tomorrow. For the fuel tank, I need to keep it as low as possible since I only have a few inches of clearance on top. All the supports and base plate will be made from the same 1/8” AL sheet...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Watermann Absolutely! The low slung wide trailer is where its at. Overkill for the boat but looks good and holds her so nice. Should ride well too. New lights came in and look good so thats on the list again this week. Another day in the shop working yielded some decent results! Put in my...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    One day, 3 items on the list down. Outside bunks are on the trailer and that was the big ticket. Also moved the winch post and boat back 8” so it sits on the trailer right. Last, added the jack (yesterday) so I can move the trailer easier. Been racing weather all day so happy to have...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Put a bit of work in today, leap-frogging the boat onto the new trailer. Have to say I am stoked how it turned out so far!! One major issue was the welded outside bunk brackets - they would have scraped the hull if I didnt remove them... so a few batteries on the angle grinder later, no more...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Did a little HW regarding the wheel possibly being slightly bent inwards. If it doesnt sit flat with weight on it, as sometime axles are manufactured to do that, then its bent. Not worried if i have to take a BFH or saw/welder to it, but we will see how it goes. If tire wear is excessive...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU Good info on the carriage bolts! Just 6 hours too late for one bunk lol. Bought some for the other. As far as the wheels go, the pics definitely make it look off. The left tire in the pics (passenger) is perfectly straight. The right tire in the pics (driver) is just slightly off it...

    1973 ISLANDER REFIT

    My boat looked like that a few times this winter but she was stripped bare. One more storm coming this weekend and that should be it here. Hopefully your spring comes soon too!

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Was able to wash and paint the new old trailer today! I think it turned out pretty good and really didnt try to make it “perfect”. It will do. The admiral showed her approval so thats what counts the most! Even my first mate was happy to help paint it haha. Heres the before/after shots...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Absolutely!! Ive seen what exposed bolts do to the bottoms of these poor tin boats. The new old trailer had screws into unsealed wood, and they were so rusted i cut half off with the grinder. But other than where the bunks attach, she had very little rust and its mainly a surface rust -...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Had a busy weekend with family n friends so not a whole lot of progress unfortunately. Coated the new bunk boards with some spar and prepped the trailer for paint. Brushed a bunch of rust spots off, took off all the lights, and scraped old stickers off. Just needs a pressure washer bath, then...

    1972 Starcraft Nova

    The more experienced guys will be along shortly to tell you whats factory and whats probably not, as well as how to fix that crack. Not a big deal and id double up on the gluvit after your repairs. Very cool family history that youre keeping alive. No better way to do it.
