    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I will definitely do that. One thing that will require some finesse will be getting the Admiral to help me rivet in a cold garage at night lol. Kinda scary to know that when I look up from under the boat, she will have a 4lb bucking bar in her hand... lol. Mainly waiting on a vise so I have...

    21' Holiday Rebuild

    Yea you are a few steps out haha. Im planning on a hydroturf floor, but my friends who build custom jet boats bed-lined their floors. I dont see why doing your floors like that wouldnt work and would help keep it very clean. I also like that once its on, it wont peel up ever like the other...

    1st boat - 1981 Starcraft SS 160

    @MNhunter1 That open deck underneath is pretty sweet for easy access. Clean too with the AL bracing. One thought on floor material as an alternative to vinyl is the jetski material hydroturf. Had an ugly green one in my boat that faded, but feels awesome barefoot. I plan on having it again...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Would putting spar over the epoxy help prevent cracking? Heard of people doing that. I know I have glass in my shed from way back when I wanted to shape surfboards. Pretty sure its not enough but could always get more.

    1st boat - 1981 Starcraft SS 160

    Understand the need for bow seats for the ladies (and kids in my case). My boat came with a front deck / casting seat, and my idea right now is removable cushions that velcro in place- wife wants bow seating. All seating including a rear bench will be homemade (not fancy just useable). I dont...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks, I will have to look up the other systems. West system looks nice but made me choke a little at the price lol. My budget is not unlimited!!! I dont think Im going to do glass cloth if I have that extra piece of AL. The wood will literally be sandwiched. Still happy with how the...

    Sounds like you got a good plan going for your boat! Thanks for doing the homework on the epoxy for me haha. Just bookmarked the post - helps me keep track of all the info in here I need. I like the aggressive time table, its along the lines of mine. What kind of fish you after? Will your...

    1st boat - 1981 Starcraft SS 160

    @Dacranks If you’re replacing the floor and its open, foam will be easy to inspect. If water logged, then replace it. Also while in there, it would be worth properly replacing the rivets with solids. Blinds dont have the structural strength like solids from what I understand (learning a lot...
