    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    Removing the paint was definitely not my favorite part but in the end all worth while. Wish I had tried the citrus-strip - the jasco stuff is pretty harsh and I did not have great results. I understand the snow issues, i got lucky last winter to be able to work on mine all year. This year Im...

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    Just caught up on your thread here piperjoe! Glad to see the boat back in your hands and moving along. Reading it reminded me how much fun (hard work) tearing down my 160ss was and how rewarding it was to (almost) complete it. Not sure we ever quit working on these projects haha. Keep up the...

    Yes it definitely is white here! Still have some snow removal to do. Enjoy your warm weather, shorts and golf, im jealous lol. Im just glad Im not in Canada - that place is frigid!! Its kind of quiet if you dont mind the hum of everyone’s generators running haha. We may get power (and...

    Thanks CC! Very happy with the lean-to and just in time. It would have been a nightmare with this much snow burying the boat. A tarp and wood in an A-frame, or a cheap metal carport wouldn't have survived this storm. Last year Im pretty sure I had the boat turtled just about now and there...

    We are on propane and have a great little propane fireplace - that needs electricity to run its fan lol. Generator is up to the task so far. Its 11kw so lots of juice, i still took a hot shower. Usually run it 10 hours on, 2 hours off. Change its oil every 50 hrs per the manual’s rec - they...

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Received the new head cover a few weeks back but Ive been swamped with xmas chores. Garage is cleaned and organized though, should make boat work much more efficient. Happy to say that the lean-to boat cover just held up to over 4’ of snow in 3 days. I...

    Ive driven all 3 newer full size ford, ram, and chevys, in diesel though. Ram was the best bang for the buck but rode rough. Chevy was much more refined than the ram but fell short of a ford. IF you can afford it, Ford was the best truck I drove. Im sure it will meet your needs and exceed...

    Slowly but surely, getting the gears winding up again. This just happened… New to me cylinder head/cover for the ugly duckling sitting on the boat! Hoping it gives me the parts to have 2 complete motors. Still need to order the manuals to go along with it. First boat part I ordered in...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Ive owned a few rams and know many family/friends that have them. If its mechanically sound at the time, I would hold onto it after having it gone over by a good mechanic. My BIL has a ‘08 Ram with 250k+ and it sounds ridiculously good when running. Sure a 3/4T would be better but its not...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I was able to get the truck under it completely with an inch or so to spare!! Plenty of clearance is right lol. No winching required. Found my manuals through ken cook for around the same price as ebay - roughly $140 per motor. Its on the list and Ill pull the trigger fairly soon. Put a...

    Happy Thanksgiving!! Haha thanks guys! So far the neighbors love it so no worries on the hoa. It is painted and blends in great. All done, and my truck even fit!! Used the front receiver hitch to pull ithe boat up into place. I have about a foot on each side of the trailer, but with my...

    Roof is on and the lean-to has been primed!! Paint sprayer sure came in handy, wish I had that for my boat before lol. Once everything else is done on the boat, interior in and motors running, I think ill sand down her sides and give her another coat with the spray gun. Thats a ways off but...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Haha thats true I could air them down a little. I live in the forest so no need for a lawn tractor. An atv for hunting, with a snow pIow?? Absolutely!! I actually would have to go in head first with my truck if it fits lol. Cant back in due to the antenna being on the drivers side. But i...

    Measured for the truck again…. It **may** just barely fit. Either way, main structure is up! Just need to reinforce before prime/paint. Then roof it and paint that too - a plain metal roof wont blend in well. You can see my steep driveway and sharp turn in the background.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yes it will! I cant wait. Part of the project will be to widen my driveway too, and put in a low, rock retaining wall to manage debris from the hillside. Then add a little more gravel too. I wish the truck would fit under the lean-to but its just barely too short on that one side. We shall...

    I think that TJ just needs some 60s under it, a stretched wheel base, and airbags for that 15 min tow… 😅. Then go nuts on a boat too.

    Haha no such toys. But the in-laws have that stuff. Just as easy to throw a chain on it and winch it back under - truck has a 9k warn on it. Need to borrow a paint sprayer and find the right color paint tomorrow. Frame is 75% done and the rest will go up quick now. Should have its roof on...
