    My Starcraft

    Hello @Alecapone ! You will have to post some pics of this old gal, pay the mob dues. Seen a few guys start the outboard conversion, but havent been around long enough to see it finished. Looking forward to seeing the project!

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    1 coat of paint down! 1 to go. I think it looks decent and is sticking!! Admiral says it looks great so thats what counts the most. Pics of each side, and my “wind block” lol. Minimal bugs and some stuff blowing around, but otherwise perfect day to paint. We have pretty bad pollen up here...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @Watermann Was definitely not relaxed lol, but feeling better today. Not pictured were 2 rechargeable bright LED dual COB lights, and they definitely provide enough light. Ill get a pic with them on once the first coat of paint is on. Would have liked to have the boat higher up but I...

    One coat of primer is on. Took more than I thought and went on thicker than I was hoping for, so next time will thin with mineral spirits per the optional directions. May do another tomorrow, may not. Looks very well covered and seems to be sticking well. See y’all tomorrow for paint!

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @SHSU Just finished the final sand, wash, vinegar spray, and now its taped. Having a beer while it dries well, then its getting primer today! First, spraying rattle can aluminum etching primer. Then instructions on the actual primer can say prime and let dry overnight. I believe the...

    Need help with boat identification!!

    Hello! Cant tell you what it is, and I forget the year they started adding HIN or plates. So it may be quite old. But just needs some love to be a great boat again! That trailer too... those are very easy to work on and modify depending on your goals with it.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Been sanding and prepping all week! Mostly ready, just picked up the last few items for painting including majic reducer. Really hoping I dont mess it up!! Today I finished the majority of the sanding, and put coat-it on all the rivets I replaced. Now every rivet is coated inside and out...

    New Journey

    🤤🤤🤤 I understand your conflict... could have bought a new spotter, rifle, and bow this year instead of my boat project lol. But man that is a beautiful rifle!!! Well worth the investment.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I cant wait either!! Haha. I didnt want nautolex mainly because its not padded, and the Admiral and I like the “teak” look. Slippery would be even worse. I am putting in a below deck gas tank and having the fill/vent on the gunnel. I was going to do hydroturf all the way down the gunnel but...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @ShoestringMariner I loved the flooring (minus the color) so much so that I am doing it again! I guess its called hydroturf. Im convinced its all made in the same factory overseas, so i got the unnamed “knock off” version from the big online jungle retailer. I made sure to get it from a place...

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

    Mine were wobbly too so i took them completely out, and put all new rivets in. Also braced them from moving side to side which helped. Made them strong enough to where i could walk on them if I wanted. As far as the bow stringer goes, mine originally looked liked the picture @Watermann...

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

    Would have loved to have a ski locker in mine, but seemed like a lot of work to make it look nice and original. As far as measurements go, it seems like it depends which shift was working that day/year. In my ‘79, the stern is 18.5” wide between the center stringers, and in the bow its 18”...

    Thanks! No pics of the support because it doesnt exist yet. The fuel tank was just resting directly on the ribs, but i have been thinking about the support system. I was just setting it up to see how it looks, and to make sure my measurements werent way off!! I do have ~3” above the...

    Starcraft boat market?

    Theres an 18’ 1956 chieftain for $3500 near mammoth lakes here in cali. Not free but looked decent. Owner said he didnt want to sell it twice in the post lol. Dont see too many starcraft out here, and the cuddys are rare. Most like the ss and cc.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Half the floors are in!!! (Covered in white sealant) The rest of the wood that the consoles sit on and gas tank sits between, foward to the bow, are just being test fitted. Really like how the gas tank sits and i have lots of room to work with. All the PO’s wood floors were too wide so...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yes sir!!! Having my Dad here was a huge help. Would have taken me all weekend to do what we did in one day. 16 man hours today... Floor will be secured with the LF rivets, not counter-sunk. Could have sunk them in but the LF heads are so low profile, and the hydroturf is 6mm thick foam. Even...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Ended the day with a lot of foam done, and half the floors prepped for install tomorrow. When we first tried to fit the floors, we found out the PO had made the floors 2” too wide. They went past the chine and rested on whatever that out-dent is after it lol. So when the floors screwed down...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Live update!! Final putty on the SW, gunnels, and consoles is drying. Will sand that down later this afternoon! While I did putty, my Dad cut a bunch of foam for under the floors! Hopefully I have enough in there. He didnt want to stuff outside the 2 center stringers with triangle pieces...
