    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Got the motor off and on an engine stand, as well as parked the boat outside again. Garage is half empty!! Will have room to do some work now before she has to go back in. Clocks ticking against the snow coming one day... Just need to remove the remaining wires out of the hull then pull the...

    1983 starcraft ss180 restore

    Wife and I upgraded from a 1436 lol where you literally feel like falling out constantly. So it was a huge difference in stability to us.

    Nice boat! Shop too haha. Looks like you are well on your way to getting her splashed. Good plan too, Im a few steps behind you and following a similar order so keep showing her off! I have a 16ss and it goes 30mph with a 75 johnson. Im guessing yours will do similar. Boats ride great in...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Getting excited! Got all the electrical out except for the stuff attached to the motor. But, plans are in place to pull the motor tomorrow, after fishing, meaning the gutting will be complete! PO is also coming over sunday to mill some lumber and hang out. Then I can wash her and prep for...

    1974 starcraft islander overhaul

    Will be tagging along since Im ripping apart a 16’ SS and at a similar stage. Nice boat! Wish I had walleye around here. They are by far one of my favorites to catch and eat.

    @SHSU Absolutely. I know it wont be perfect but it will be done right. Not sure how long I will live at this house or in CA so time is of the essence lol. Plus I want to be splashed by summer time at the latest. I commend you for the long rebuild but that would kill me!! Want my garage back...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU I like how you have your drain set up much lower. I have noticed I get quite a bit of water sitting in mine. Due to the lovely laws of CA, if I am inspected before launch and its found i have ANY water present in the bilge, then I will not be permitted to launch. I will keep it in mind...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yea worth discovering now than down the road. I figured there would be more surprise parts of the project so looks like she will get the full treatment. Bright side is with the motor removed the boat will fit in the garage better and allow me to take her over to my in laws where they have an...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Mikesta glad to have ya along! Looked through your build and picked up some info from you too! Thanks! My floors used to match the paint but the sun/dirt ruined them. The green vinyl is really my biggest pet peeve but its out now and gone forever. Will definitely order way more rivets...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Watermann Yes the transom on the inside has AL covering it. There is another piece of wood on the outside of the transom that is painted black. Since its in the water constantly back there, i hope its sealed lol. I should probably look at some other transoms to compare and see if mine needs...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Alright, finally got the floors out!!! All shopvac’d and ready for the next step - pressure wash. Then count rivets and order them. So far not seeing as many wrong rivets as i thought i would. Meantime look for fuel tank options. Pretty happy with how the metal hull looks - no major pits...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Consoles and front deck fully removed?? Not sure what you’re looking at. Is something not right?? Lol. Cause that wouldnt surprise me. The stringers and supports were barely or not attached for the most part. Will definitely think about adding the float switch to the bilge. PO said he...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Just took a look and its measuring pretty small. 4” on the short sides, 6” to the bottom in the middle, 18” wide - all leaving some wiggle room for padding. Will remeasure tomorrow but thats close enough. So... rds 18g belly wont work but you may have already known that lol. Length wont...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Sweet! Consoles, steering wheel, and 75% of the floors are out!!! Took a bit longer than expected due to the heinous green foam floor cover I had to rip out. Also half the square head deck screws were epoxied in. Would have finished the deck removal tonight except the admiral had a white...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks guys. Looks like careful force or a proper tool is required. Will be fiddling with it here in a little bit. Rain starts around 4 today so I still have time to get things done. The wiring in the boat was functional for the most important things, and completely dysfunctional for...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Watermann @SHSU Definitely going to add some al angle iron to the sw supports, especially since Ill be torquing it there with down riggers. Also thinking about tying in all my gunwale panels to the bow deck and all the way back to the transom. May be overkill but i know more stout is better...

    Got some more work done this weekend but got slowed down with a surprise waterfowl hunt. Went with some youth and got a few geese for them. All batteries are out and Ive disconnected/ labelled half the electrical. Cleaned up the areas I opened up and was able to get a good look at the SW...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Got a little more done and got invited to go duck hunting tomorrow so after dinner work is now on hold. Got all weekend though so not a problem. Took out the port console and disconnected the speaker wires over there, then took off the panel running along the floor/gunwales. Will have to get...
