    The story of two motors - 75 Johnsons

    Pics of the UD. Oh yea, i forgot the PO2 was a duck hunter and hit a submerged log with the boat in the sloughs. Ran it over and it hit the skegs/prop of the UD. Broke fins, prop, and did other damage im sure too. The friend I got it from, PO, had our other friend weld up the skegs so they...

    The story of two motors - 75 Johnsons

    Hello everyone! Been hanging out in the starcraft rebuild forum with the mob for most of the last year. Not sure if I put the cart before the horse, but the boats looking good and my motor is having issues…. Link to boat rebuild here...

    Took a few days but finally got the gunnel wood boards installed!! Really happy with how they turned out despite being a pita to install. Onto the consoles, which are happening now while the admiral makes us halibut for dinner… yum!! Also spray painted the engine cowl (1st coat), and a SW...

    1980 Holiday 181

    Man, $500 was a steal for a “clean” dirty boat. Looks great minus that layer of dirt. And it runs! If OMC does it have the WLOD? (Learned that here). What are your plans for her after dusting her off?

    Thanks! They are still not in but the brackets are cut now. Just need to drill and rivet everything into place. Got the warped wood floor to sit almost level with 300 lbs of plates, so im hoping that the gunnel wood holds it down with rivets…. If not theres nothing i can do now. I did notice...

    All the flotation foam is officially in!! Ended up using a little over 2.5x sheets of 2” foam. Added hydroturf to the inside of the gunnel shelf too and added scraps of it under the SW to finish the floor. Now Im test fitting the gunnel wood board panels. Still need to create brackets so...

    I was definitely planning on sealing it like everything else in the boat. I have a half gallon of spar left for the bow and bench seats. Really dont want to buy more plywood lol. Budgets blown, but i have enough 1/4” ply wood lying around to where i could double up with some glue…. Ill weigh...

    More coming…. Heat is slowing me down. Once the gunnel panels are in I can do the consoles, wires, and fuel system. Need em in to mount stuff like the fuse panel and water separator.

    @SHSU we absolutely are. If I ever change it in the future, at least i have a much better of how/what to do. I wanted to do the whole front deck in the hydroturf but i dont have enough. I do, however, have all the material for bow cushions…. Which would cover the additional hydroturf...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Oh yea…. You can see where i tried putting the hydroturf under the rivets so that it was held down. Bad idea. Didnt like it and decided to glue the rest over the riveted hinges. Hinges are all backed by AL on the opposite side. Very stout. One day ill redo the front deck how I originally...

    Back in the saddle!! Ready to ride this horse across the finish line. Slow going today amidst the heat and i still didnt get all my lines cut right. Good learning curve though. Part of the issue of the front casting deck was I reused the PO’s plywood since I didnt want to buy new expensive...

    1978 starcraft 16 ft just had her repowered with a 2020 60 hp Mercury 4 stroke. Can't wait to see what she'll do now

    Can always drop a video on youtube and link it to here. Thats the extent of my technological knowledge.

    Thanks. I agree, and Im hoping dirt blends into it without severe staining. But im stuck with it now for a while lol. On bare feet its extremely comfortable and being closed cell foam should still be great for fishing. Its big on duck boats from what ive noticed now and those get pretty...
