    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks guys! Will definitely look at the trim tab. Didnt even think of that! She would go right into a circle if i went over, and keep circling unless I wore that kill switch lanyard. Usually never wear that but did yesterday. Two questions for you guys. Heres how the trim tab is set now...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    The highs… Got the boat filled up with the necessities for a trip to the lake. Topped off the gas tank. Double, triple checked everything. Only thing I forgot was my fishing license. A friend was kind enough to come with me to help break in the motor, on the condition we fish and have a few...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Highs and lows… First, the lows. Yesterday, while wiring my battery shutoff switch, I misinterpreted the little picture on the front of switch as “instructions”. A picture of a battery with a + and - . For some reason I thought it disconnected both the positive AND negative connections...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Knocked a few things out today. Added a spare tire carrier for the spare. Installed new longer safety chains for towing. Redid the winch post position, greased the winch, new strap, safety chain. Position still isnt perfect but works. Pics of the new RPM gauge and controls. Cut the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yes she is. Crazy how big the motor is compared to the last one. Really curious how she is going to handle it now, especially the transom. Will be watching that closely. Should hold up its “SuperSport” name haha. Absolutely adding a safety chain. When I switched winch posts, the new one...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Its bigger than I thought 😳. She made it home though, and almost had a major issue backing down my steep driveway. Front winch strap failed…. Luckily all is well and I have a spare.

    Lifting plastic trailer fenders?

    Replacing my fenders with larger metal ones for $100 from the online jungle as we speak. Just weld, paint, and go. Costs more but the solution is solid.

    1985 Seafarer 16 SS rebuild

    Nice! Putting the kid to work is the best and they love being a part of it. The seat layout is ideal for moving around in there. Are you just restoring it back to original? Are you going to add foam under the floor? Looks like you could pack enough down there to not need much under the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Dropped her off this morning. Shes in God’s hands (at bass-pro) now. Glad the mounting holes line up, hoping for zero issues and a smooth install. New fenders just came in too, surprisingly fast at less than 24 hrs since I ordered them. Will have full tire coverage and an inner panel now to...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Checked the bearings, all good, just added grease. Cleared off a ton of old rust and painted it, also replacing rusty axle u-bolts and wheel bolts. Everything was nearly seized up from rust. Pulled the old wheels n tires off, replacing them and going up two sizes, new tires and spare. Was...
