    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @SHSU Brackets are crudely drawn below lol. Red are the ones I just finished which support and tie in the gunnel shelf. Also in red is a bracket for behind the bow seats/ in front of the console. Will continue to the gunnel shelf under the consoles too for more storage. Yellow will...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @benfish909 Got a few more pieces cut and bent today, after I got bigger clamps. Needed more pressure to hold the plates in the brake. Takes longer than I figured but some of the harder cuts are done. Will keep cutting and bending until I have the majority done, hopefully by weeks...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU Yessir!! He wants to be in the garage with me tomorrow too. We will be cutting metal again! Had fun experimenting with what works and what doesnt when it comes to bending/cutting aluminum. Cold bending .125 5052 did not work or budge in the cheap HF bending brake. Ended up annealing...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Slowly moving along... just about done with epoxy and glass on the transom. Got one more side to glass on friday after the side I did today cures, but ive been trying to be thorough. I was able to get some cardboard templates cut for my braces I need to build. While the transom finishes...

    New to me 16ft Starcraft!

    Looks good! I would definitely put a floor in for structure and ease of use. Do you know if it leaks at all? Having no floor is a good time to test. Also look for foam, and strongly consider adding some below the floor. Wood covered in epoxy or spar or OTF n carpet or vinyl are cheapest...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Paint stripping finally complete - all the trim, gunnel trim, consoles, SW, end caps and nose piece are clean!! A few difficult spots will just get sanded. Took longer than I thought but had a good method going. Transom is ready for glass now too. Holes are all filled and she is looking...

    Opinions on seating arrangement on my newly restored 1976 16’ SS

    I was going to do a drop away bench seat for the back of my boat, but that idea doesnt help you with access. But I like your idea of putting the seat on removable posts now! Thanks for the idea. For your situation, what @MNhunter1 did would probably work best for you.

    New to me 16ft Starcraft!

    Welcome! Throw up some more pics and a vin if possible. Im redoing the transom in my 16 currently but looks like our boats are slightly different. Yours will be a good little fishin boat when done!

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @SHSU I saved the original screws and bolts, but will probably replace with all new SS hardware. Found a bunch of old rusty pop rivets under the gunnel paint too that were missing heads. At least I have all the trim and caps, and despite my cracked nose piece, its all in good shape...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    You will have to settle for coat-it! Coming up kinda soon hopefully lol. Here’s another shot of epoxy drying lol. This time filling holes. All in all they filled pretty well, learned I should have gone overkill on the tape. Little leaks were annoying. Glass will be next!!

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Only the trim and consoles left to strip!! Boats finally as done as its going to get with me. After stripping the painted splash guard trim, i almost feel bad painting it! What a pain. Got another coat of epoxy on the transom too, so now its covered on both sides. Next will be adding...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU All good now. If you hadnt said something it wouldnt have fit. It didnt take long for me to shave it to fit. Left 1/8”+ on all edges and the faces now. Only got one coat of epoxy done on one side, it was very slow drying. Also had a heck of a time trying to remove my gunnel paint. I...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Live update: I know y’all like looking at pictures of stuff dry, so here ya go! Figured out the transom and cap, made room for glass everywhere. First coat of epoxy down. Second coat later today, and glass tomorrow. Using the sun to keep it hot enough to set properly. Also going to strip...
