    Supersports with tops?

    Thanks. Im not exactly sure, but when I looked online, a very common size is what they call 54” in height. To measure, they say measure from your mounting point to the desired height. So my 160ss has a 22” depth from the floor to the mounting point. Add 54” to 22” and thats 76”, divided by...

    Supersports with tops?

    See below! My only complaint is how tall it is, but i inherited it from the PO. Im average height so I could get away with a few inches shorter. Purely a cosmetic complaint. Protection from the sun is essential. They do have biminis that have the rear fixed support so I suppose you could...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Awesome! Glad you had a good time out there. Thanks for the idea about bypassing the fuel/water separator, was having issues with surging as well. Why didnt i think (of that)???

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I dont see why you cant add more wire onto the charger so long as its the same gauge. It cant be putting out so much energy to affect it. For battery placement, I like the areas around the consoles. Its where mine were prior to resto and adds balance nicely. When I put the fuel tank up...

    Supersports with tops?

    I bet there would plenty of room to step over the top when its down if you have a swim ladder and step platform. Plus if its hot enough for a dip, my bimini would be up. Thanks! Dash is mahogany, lightly stained and finished with 3 coats of spar. Floor is a faux teak hydroturf knock-off...

    Supersports with tops?

    These pics are when I was test fitting it. Close to where it ended up though - lays just beyond my fishing pole holders on the splashwell in the back. I can also flip it all the way forward if needed for some reason. I never found it to be an annoyance while not in use because if Im in the...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Yea something just like that! I want to say it was maybe @SHSU that had the removable casting deck piece. Its nice having the full casting deck level with your seat. I got a flush base so when the seats gone, theres nothing to trip on. But i cant remove my center section. Still have bow...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I forgot who, but someone built a removable base that sits at the cushion level in the bow. That way you are up higher while fishing, and the post is average height. Although I have bow seating, I have a spot for a swivel chair up front as well on my “casting deck”. Either way I think you...

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    Welcome! Good looking old holiday. Nautolex vinyl is probably the most widely used floor covering around here. I chose hydroturf, a closed cell foam that adds cushion, doesnt absorb water so dries instantly, and is cool to the touch in summer. Theres 2 options vs carpet which would be my...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I added lateral members to mine, and starcraft originally supplied “floorboard connecting strips” of AL. At least use the original. B Redoing the dash with new stained and sealed mahogany wood took me one day. Once you get those nails out of the trim, you wont want to do it again...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    As @ShoestringMariner and @SHSU said, 5/8” or 3/4” is fine. Never use treated wood on aluminum. I believe Starcraft used 1/2” and it was untreated AND unsealed. Mine came with pretty new 3/4” bcx already sealed from my friend so I reused it. I would go 5/8” if I had to buy it, guessing its...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Aluminum floors would be pricey and even .125 would bow as you walk on it. Its doable but not really worth it vs wood. Plenty of ways to seal wood too and it will last quite a while, maybe 20 years?, especially if you cover with vinyl on top of the seal. Camo pattern looks good! Great part...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yup @ShoestringMariner supposedly they are in fact factory shop service/maintenance manuals. For $20, may be worth the risk to find out!

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Anyone ever use watercraftmanuals.com? They have pdf’s of original service manuals for my motors for $20 each. I can easily print it and put it in a binder, or throw it up on the garage TV for reference too. But for that price I can order it now!! Was waiting cause the other place...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    https://forums.iboats.com/threads/rivets-rivets-and-more-rivets-repaired.741809/ Rivet sticky at the top of the forum, courtesy of watermann. Love that kayak blind! May have to look into that. Boats looking good. Definitely worth replacing that transom, looks like its seen better days.

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Anything is better than the handful of rotten styrofoam I found in my boat. Thank god it wasnt sprayed in at least. Almost sank her before the resto when I lost a rivet, and she took water up to the floorboards. The 1000 gph bilge ran for 5 minutes to drain her… I like your idea of 2 bilges...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Oh no! The stinger was put in that spot deliberately when I rearranged my garage. Easy to roll out, set up a table, and have my tools right there for her up front and center. Even got a TV with internet in the garage now too along with a heater. Admiral says Im moving in and is getting me a...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Between the belly and under the gunnel shelf, Id guess you could fit 2-3 2x48x96” sheets like I did. I lost some belly foam to my fuel tank sitting below the front raised deck, so that subtracted 3’ of foam down the middle. You could easily attach a large piece under the bow cap, and my...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    The boat is looking great! Just caught up on the thread again. I remember when my floors went in, it started getting a lot more fun fast! I know starcraft made boats with rod lockers from pics Ive seen, so I would keep it. I wanted one in mine too. They also didnt use near the quality foam...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    When I was dreaming of building a duck boat, I figured I would put moveable pedestal seats in with it setup to be able to have 3-4 guys lined up down the middle. Be able to swivel to see both sides, and a fold down blind, holders to rest your gun along the sides in fro t of each seat. Then...
