    1973 ISLANDER REFIT

    Those old islanders are pretty cool! Sounds like you have a good plan of attack.

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    There ya go! I was thinking sell the one that needs more work with all the unwanted pieces, and build the nice one with the best of both of their pieces. But you could keep the other to use n abuse if you really want to. You can turn the better of the two into a pretty ski/fish boat easily...

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    For $600 Id pick that other one up regardless lol. Thats just me though. Then Id take the best of both and put it in the good one, throw all the pieces leftover in the other, and list it for $500 or $1000... The original hull is fixable from what ive seen here but thats a lot of work. For...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @classiccat Ill scoot it down the list! Thought it may be good for structure when i flip for paint but that can wait. Will be easier to do electrical, floors, n fuel lines with it not there too. Got new lights and carpet ordered for the new trailer today. I think ill be able to use...

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Ouch! I live at 4,000’ in Ca and its an early spring here. Very mild winter. Looks like my yard a month ago though! Hope it warms up for you soon.

    Questions about my hull

    My starcraft had holes sealed by the PO in the front and water was trapped inside. Being in a freezing climate i not only drilled through the epoxy he sealed the holes with, but i also added a drainage hole in the rear of the stringer. There was a bunch of water inside that came out of the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Update to my “to do” list. Keeps my head in the game to look it over and update it. Was hoping for a birthday splash but that ship sailed. So, absolute deadline is when my niece comes to visit mid June. Its funny, the fixing section over winter took a while and was only a few items on the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @BWR1953 That would have been easier than a chainsaw!! But close enough to the point 😂. Ive seen enough rotten glassers to know to stay away from em.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    The glasser met its maker today, and i kinda had fun trashing it lol. It was rotten all the way through, so not even a chance for anyone saving it. Chainsaw and recip saw went through most of it pretty quick. My buddy loaded it into a dump trailer with his bobcat, which was very handy, and we...

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    @ShoestringMariner haha nope wasnt me that hit it. It was POx2. Then PO “fixed” it with blinds and ran it while leaking 10 gal/hr with a bilge constantly on. Again, surprisingly resilient, and when fixed right should be a very reliable, safe boat!

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    Doesnt look too bad. Transom will be the final judgement but patch her up and she will be solid! My boat hit a log hard enough to dent the hull near the bow, break 100+ rivets, and break the motor skeg/fin off. They are surprisingly resilient.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks guys. Once the lines come in I will fool around with it and decide which way to go. I will have a hatch that opens up for full access to my fuel tank and fittings so that leaves me options. Going to put the fill/vent up on the gunnel near the passenger window. Makes sense to me with...

    1978 starcraft 16 ft just had her repowered with a 2020 60 hp Mercury 4 stroke. Can't wait to see what she'll do now

    😍 Yes! Let us know how that turns out. Id love to have a new motor on mine even though the old 2 strokes are fun.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    So I do have a few questions regarding the fuel system. My fuel tank is going to be in the bow, and Im wondering where is the best place to run the fuel line. Under the floor, maybe through a pvc pipe? Along the bottom of the gunnels above the floor?? Under the gunnels where wires are run...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Moving along! Got most the pieces cut for bracing/brackets, minus my gas tank cradle. Washed the sap off the boat so I can apply coat-it tomorrow. Sanded the transom hull down since it had a lot of coat-it from the PO, and was all kinds of bumpy with runs. Then I marked all the holes to be...

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    Its the worst when you not only find that bad of corrosion, but also poor repair jobs on top of it. With some solid rivet holes double drilled and blinds halfway on top, they will all be coming out. If you’re lucky you can combine holes to 1/4” rivets which is what i was able to do. But my...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Behind in my schedule that was in my head, and over budget - so im on track for a proper build right?! Nothing done since last weekend except a leak test today!! I was able to go to the lake 5 min down the road, and convinced a very friendly park ranger to let me in for free 😁. Took just a...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    It definitely feels good to start getting her back together @SHSU As far as the salvaged gas tank goes, just going to try to sell it to offset the cost of buying the new trailer and taking the old glasser to the dump. I could put it in the starcraft, but I have the new moeller plastic tank...
