    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU the s*******t is still coming as I figure out bracing costs. Either way I dont see it being as low as I hoped. Oh well, boat will look good, Ill be happy, family safe. That doesnt have a price. As I wait on rivets and such to arrive, Ive been polishing up the side panels inside the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Slowly moving along, but gearing up to start moving faster. Bunch of tools and rivets are on their way. Im finishing stripping and prepping the boat - still have some paint to get off. Took the rub rail off today. Nyloxed 90% of the transom. Noticed a lot of pitting but only 1 bad little...

    https://forums.iboats.com/threads/my-first-starcraft-1975-18-supersport.576017/page-18 Lol dont quote me, Im going off what I remember these guys doing. I believe they form the aluminum with a hammer to the hull. Put 5200 between the patch and the hull. Bigger patch is better. Not sure how many...

    21' Holiday Rebuild

    Welcome! Boat looks like its in really good shape! Also in the process of rebuilding mine so will watch n learn from what you do. Im a few steps behind and my boats not that nice looking haha. I thought about adding bracing like that from ribs to hull, but angles get a bit weird especially...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU What the admiral dont know wont kill her 😂. Maybe just me later lol. Nice having tools anyway and shes already talking about the next, bigger boat lmao. Yes it was the keel that was damaged, as well as the hull. Both just slightly, maybe 1/8” pushed in. Definitely have some rivets to...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @classiccat Beer isnt cheap when friends n family can hold their own!! Also keeps me moving, only thing better than an ice cold beer in freezing temps is an ice cold beer on the boat in the summertime... Thats a sigh of relief that the rivets are likely all aluminum. I dont believe anyone...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    What a long day! Ordered 500 rivets and bought an air compressor. Solid rivet gun is coming next once I narrow down the one I want tomorrow. After 5 hours on the phone for work and ordering parts for the boat, finally had a few minutes to flip the boat back over and put it back on the trailer...

    1975 Starcraft SS 16' Freshen Up

    Hahaha Im definitely still JV team lol. Working on stepping up my game though. I did get a mr buddy heater for my garage from my in-laws for xmas so that certainly helps my winter project woes! Curious as to how your transom sealant works out. Blowing my budget on tools so I could skip the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thank you guys!!! I feel much better about getting the right rivets and tools now. Looking at them was a foreign language and now im more educated. Was trying to google the answer yesterday and didnt even think to look at aircraft building as a reference! Looks like I will be needing more...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Watermann @classiccat @SHSU need your help regarding rivets too. Finally got a hold of the guys at rivetsinstock, as recommended here, and we realized I need a grip range for the 3/16” brazier solids. (Not in the rivet sticky!!). Also going to order some 1/4” brazier solids just in case i...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Watermann Whoa!!! Thats not good lol. @classiccat I can only imagine the cringe worthy responses to that thread. Thats some crazy damage right there. My boat has its dents n dings but nothing like that! Still counting my blessings for its minimal damage and overall good condition. I was...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @Watermann I will test fit the bare hull and cut to length as far out as I can sit it. New brackets and carpet come today. I also have rollers all the way to the front, as well as some bow supports I can still use. She should still be sitting pretty. As for the bracing, i found...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @classiccat hahaha the green and mustard yellow are still enshrined in parts of the coat-it. Not sure it will ever be gone. That bending brake sure is interesting! Not a bad price either... i could fab whatever I want then from sheet and probably save money vs buying all the parts. Way to poke...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @sidingguy yes it seems to be a common thing, especially in the larger boats. I can see why more weight and power end up breaking rivets, and causing cracks in some boats as well, when there is no solid structure tying it together. Starcraft seemed to do the bare minimum and leave lots to...
