    Starcraft ski champ

    I had to look it up quick. 1958-1963 are the listed years of production. Also there is a company making a fitted cover for that model.

    Starcraft ski champ

    Pictures didn’t load for me before so I thought it was a glass boat. See now it’s tin. Later than ‘60 i think. I have a later version. They call it a Holiday 14 OB after a certain year. Mine is titled as an 1985 with a NYS replacement HIN but I’m pretty sure it’s a 1966

    Replacing my outdrive but can't determine the right one!

    Yes they are identical to mercruiser in bolt up and function. But if you are going to spend some dollars, going to a GM setup with an alpha gen 2 would probably be better since parts are more available

    Replacing my outdrive but can't determine the right one!

    Can’t keep a Ford with a Gen 2. I’d grab a used gen 1 1.50 drive. SEI is good but I wouldn’t put that much into it in case something happened to it. Not sure why this went bold but I’m on my phone and it is what it is.

    Starcraft ski champ

    StarCraft had a full line of fiberglass boats along with the tin boats they are known for. But many of them have ended up in landfills

    Starcraft 3.0 to diesel conversion

    I'm 90% sure your talking about the Olds diesel ( used by most of GM for a short time ). A converted Rocket 350. One of the most unreliable diesels ever produced... It will have a BOP bellhousing and you will never find manifolds for it.. It's not a good idea if it was feasable. A used 3.0L...

    Yama carburetor 15 vs Tohastu EFI 15

    Suzuki 15hp. EFI. The software is like $70 for diagnostic which also shows the hour meter. Suzuki is lighter and cheaper than Tohatsu or Yamaha. I tend to like turning the key to on,waiting for a beep and then starting it in an instant. One pull start if I were to pull start

    How does RV financing work?

    I want to just buy something and we can actually probably get a 0 down USDA loan since those programs are available here. But my fiancé doesn’t want to buy anything until we have a substantial down payment. I may or may not convince her. We are looking through. Even land to put a camper on for now

    How does RV financing work?

    My credit is between 770 and 805 across all bureaus but experian suggested I have a thin credit profile since I only have 2 credit cards with no or low balance. I had no problem finding a loan through lending tree but it was a secured personal loan and it was a 4 year loan. I’ll have to talk to...

    How does RV financing work?

    We would be looking at something 2015 or newer and in the $15-20k range but it looks like new might even fit into the price range with all the discounts if I keep my expectations low and don’t go to fancy. I was scanning camping world and the other local places. I have a pex crimper and I’m also...

How does financing a camper actually work. I have pretty good credit and when I checked rates through lending...

    1970s era Chrysler gauges…

    Your going to have to get creative. Chrysler may have never had any of those and even if they did they are going to be old. If you want a gauge to match. You can get a gauge that has the correct sweep and there are gauge rebuilders who can change the background screen. It’s done all the time for...

    Boat altenators

    Old cars often had no idler pulley with v belt systems. The alternator was the adjustment point. Many older boats use v belts. Serpentine systems use idlers and tensioners and only sometimes is the alternator an adjustment point. Most modern boats have serpentine systems
