    1972 Starcraft Nova

    All the retainer springs I used were just cut by me to size. Believe thats all ya got to do.

    1978 16 kingfisher

    For mine, they were mainly caused by an impact with a log by a previous owner, and poor bunks on the trailer. If the lost rivets are aligned, I would wager it has to do with an external force. All of my bad rivets followed a pattern due to those 2 factors. Could also be cause by running it...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Not back at it 100% yet, but had a little time today with my niece in town to put the main hydroturf sections in! Theres a reason it was so cheap - factory seconds…. Each piece had minor issues I worked around. But a good portion is now in!! Used gorilla spray adhesive to hold it down. After...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    List is getting so short I can remember it off the top of my head!! Haha. Of course each thing on this list has at least 5 sub steps… Casting deck and gas tank are in!!! Woohoo!!!! Still have to hook all the fuel lines up, and put in the deck hatches, but everything is ready. Minus that...

    1975 Starcraft SS 16' Freshen Up

    Thanks @Michigan Lakes !! That would definitely do it. I usually boat at 5000 feet!! Appreciate even more intel. My motor, as bad as she may look and seem, runs really well so its not her issues, its my elevation! What you’re really saying is I need a 90 hp… 😆😆

    1975 Starcraft SS 16' Freshen Up

    Good intel. Glad mine is mounted right! I get exactly 30 mph on the gps loaded or unloaded. Wondering if you improve dropping it down. Ive read other guys with our setup get 35 mph. Believe Im slower due to my motor’s internal issues.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Haha @SHSU you have no idea!! The trailer hitch was way lower in my driveway than the back in those 2 pics and it still could touch!! I will keep it fully up until shes in the water and then still will be careful. Worked on the consoles a bit today and installed pieces for the fuel system...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I bent some sheet AL into C’s, but only a few to brace the stringers beneath the deck. I remember seeing another post with substantially more bracing that you may be referencing. One helpful tip - when reading threads, use the bookmark option. Mark it for later and you can access it in your...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yes sir!! Still working on it... sneak peak 😏 Borrowed the engine hoist for a few hours today. Moved the running motor onto the boat, and the non-running motor onto the motor stand. Much nicer than the big wood one and so much garage space cleaned up!! Barely got the motor on the boat...

    1978 Holiday 18

    Just a thought - take it to a professional welder and have them inspect the welds. If poor, then remove. Add plate AL to reinforce everything that needs it, new rivets where necessary, and gluvit everything. Seems like the standard fix procedure from what ive read. Paint looks good from...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    In my last post I failed to mention that the gas tank is fully removable as well!! I didnt know if it would be but as long as I take off the vertical wood cover between the consoles, which Ill make removable, then can be maneuvered out. Also has the regular hatch above the fittings to keep an...

    Starting an armada! The holiday will be good practice until you get to the even bigger v5.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Lunch live update! Got the front deck fitted but ran short of rivets! Luckily i foresaw this coming, and ordered some to be here on monday. Hoping 100 is enough lol, cause that would be +\- 300 LF blinds for the complete deck/gunnels. Will install the casting deck as soon as those rivets get...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Tired, didnt get as much done as I was hoping to today. Will hit it hard again tomorrow. Front deck is ready to go in though, and the support piece that encases the fuel tank is in. Cut 2 hatches that will go in whenever the hydroturf goes on. One thing I really wanted was a recessed...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @SHSU I will keep that in mind. I realized that hole is where the glass would be as well... so will have to just keep an eye out for options. Riveting a patch wont work. Plug may not work either then. May need to have it welded shut or just leave it. Not sure. Also found a rusty...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Full paint no tape!! Gunnel woods done. And a little test fit of the windshield. Skeeters chased me out tonight but im halfway there. One of the PO’s drilled a nickel sized hole in the port side window frame, and that window is also missing. I can get new glass, but not sure how to fix that...
