    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    One of my favorite parts of the resto - a super clean, bright bare hull. Best way to get a clean, no mess foam cut is a hot wire. I used a jigsaw and made a mess..

    1974 Chieftain 25 "Adventurer" Restoration

    Looks great but man that deck is tall. Not worried about falling overboard? Putting a railing around it or something?

    Leaking at a rivet

    No boat is free and sometimes they are the most expensive. If the floors and transom are good, you could probably fix those leaks pretty quick by taking her apart minimally. Id keep trying to find the leak if you want to use it for the summer before an overhaul. Not great to put water in the...

    Leaking at a rivet

    Thats a lot of water to be taking on. Definitely more than just one or two rivets leaking. Prior to my resto and temporarily taking out bad solids for blinds, I was taking on that amount of water with 40+ bad rivets. My boat had hit a log and one side basically broke half of its rivets due to...

    Bet that cut woke you up quick! Anything into the nail bed does not feel good. Glad that was all.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I fully understand! Before I bought my starcraft I had a 1436 jon boat too! One kid, Admiral, and 2 big dogs - it was way too small and tippy. Your family will enjoy this boat much more when you finish it! Definitely carries a sense of pride cruising in a boat you built vs one that someone...

    Center console project

    I thought about what Id do if I put an offshore bracket on my boat. Answer was a bigger trailer. Then a support for either the bracket and motor or motor alone. Someone who has done this before you will have the answer. But rolling down a bumpy road for a long distance with that hanging way...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Welcome junkman! Nice save from someones junk pile. Im no expert but the console, transom, and those side hatch doors all look like PO work to me. Nice boat you have though. Turning it back into a fishing boat? 1/2” ply was what starcraft originally used, nothing wrong with that. Just dont...

    Rear casting deck builds

    If I put a rear casting deck in, I would design it like the modern boats do. It would require modifying your splash well. Make the SW smaller and centered, drop its height to the lowest point of the transom. Then build the deck around the SW and out as far as you want. See pic below and note...

    Leaking at a rivet

    Watching the bilge pump run for minutes at full blast was something to see. But I put a blind rivet with sealant in that hole and used it a few more times that summer. Im on a medium sized lake though, never more than a minute from any shoreline. If I had an automatic bilge installed I would...
