    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    Was it coosa 20 or 26? 26 claims to be a direct (and better) replacement. Also thought about upping to 3/4" since it is purportedly 30% lighter.

    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    OK, kill my question on CCA. Found coosa in Nashville just an hour away at 200 a sheet MDO local 7 minutes away for 100 a sheet. $300 difference but is the coosa worth it? It seems like a lifetime product versus 20 year so I'll be dead either way. I'll paint either but save time with no old...

    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    I've seen pontoon decking but it also says CCA. Is CCA still a no go? Even tho I believe it rests on aluminum frame?

    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    No menards for me in tn. Be a 12 hour day for me to do that to closest one in ky. Going to call our local builders supply and see and there is an 84 lumber about 30 miles away I'll see if they can order in for me. Found a couple online but 200 plus for delivery.

    Boat budget question

    ok well good news is thus far i'm in for only $1200, including the extra motor. I think i'll need more old timers and the plywood of course so even before the boat math being implemented i'm looking good.

It also starts ahead of where the bow keel guard thingie starts so what appears to be happening is the water is being forced into the drain holes for the keel guard then back up to the bow seam So all my sealing form the outside at the bow was...

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    mystery solved. Got the bow deck off and all the gunk right there. I assume it was holding back water from dripping out when on the trailer. When underway it allowed to push thru.

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    All that, but what I still can't wrap my head around is why it won't leak out when on the trailer. When I got home I dropped the tongue to the ground and filled up until it reached over halfway to the stern. Sat for an hour and only a couple drips from the keel drip hole. The water would...

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    Well, I jumped the gun and hit the ramp this morning. Beautiful, 60 degrees and sunny, only four boats at the ramp. I love my lake. Didn't have all the foam out I wanted but could resist. A beer an a tuna sandwich with ruffles. So, it appears the leak is under bow floor. I was not...
