    21' Holiday Rebuild

    Been looking at a bunch of stuff like the hydro turf. All off brand but never heard of that stuff. Trying to do my boat with the fake teak look including the floors, gunwales and bow. You can seriously climb in and stand on your splash well??? Thats impressive. Havent beefed mine up but id...

    1974 Starcraft Jetstream

    When I couldnt find a rivet or screw that was hiding Id pull from an edge gently and if it didnt give a bit then theres one within a foot or so of that spot. If you cant find it use a flashlight to shine into the crevice and see where its hiding. If they can build it, then you can take it...

    @benfish909 lol the whole bottom of my boat on the outside hull is covered in coat-it (same thing). I think its just a waste of material more than anything.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU that is a good point! The holes on the bottom of the hull have a few double drilled as well. Hoping an external plate helps too. What i end up doing depends on if i can get to a metal shop before he works on it. Lots of work to do and im leaving town!! Will try to hit up the metal...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @benfish909 I like that idea! At the same time upgrade the thickness too. I was reading another forum that said any flex in aluminum causes cracking (eventually). I originally thought maybe a tiny bit of flex was good to save rivets. Now Im thinking zero flex, and knowing how boats hit...

    @benfish909 😍 Battleship mentality lol. I dont remember reading that in your thread, may have just forgotten already. Was already thinking about putting extra plate behind it, but thats next level haha. Never even considered bolting. @SHSU Good to know you had the same issue basically...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Spent some time today cleaning up the remaining support brackets, knee brace, and other metal with the old nylox brush. Almost got it all. Ran into two issues - had a rusted self tapping screw stuck in one of the knee brace holes. Then from my hammering, grinding, and drilling that out, I...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU haha thanks! Bunch of good thoughts right there from all your experience. I considered wood paneling and its still on the table as an option. Plan to stop at the orange box tomorrow for a few little things for riveting, and to get a better idea on wood plans. At least I measured tonight...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Been wasting time looking at pics of boats, boat parts, motors, lol you get the point. Then UPS man came unexpectedly... rivet gun is here!!! Time to unbox my air compressor now that I know it is powerful enough to run a 4x gun. Read the rivet gun instructions and looks like I need to keep...

    New Journey

    Was reading the original part and thought bummer, no boat. Then scroll down and im late to the party lol. Glad I saw just as you got her!! Congrats! Will look forward to the rebuild, especially since she looks to be in excellent condition.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU yes she is! Thanks, lots of elbow grease. You have a sharp eye. Yes I left under there alone as I plan on covering it with wood, and putting foam between that and the hull. Going to have brackets and braces that allow me to run wood panels from the transom to the front of the consoles...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @classiccat lmao damn wood once it got to CA it identified as a different species. Mahogany it is. Looks nice and is plenty tough. Put my full weight on it and it didnt flex at all. Boat is hand washed and back in the garage!! Washed my truck and Admirals car too while i was at it...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Live update during my lunch break. Nyloxing the old glue is done, all thats left it the few bits of rust/corrosion on the floor. Then its time for a bath!!! Also got the bow wood pieces sanded, and the visible wood piece has now been stained (red oak color). Admiral’s orders. She also...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU not sure why they put the drain hole up so high either. Im not too keen on drilling another hole though. Will take a closer look, but i dont want to have to use 2 plugs. No live well or reason to use another hole. Got a ton done today. Spent some time nylox wheeling everything, and...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Almost to riveting!! Guns still in the mail, but my rivets are here. Also ended up just nylox wheeling the glue/paint off since I had already started. Wasnt that bad once I got going, just took a few beers. Those beers also included getting my knee brace and transom shelf off, as well as...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Decker83 Really.... and I thought I was all done with kleen strip lol. Going to have to give that consideration. It would take probably 2 more hours to polish that glue off with the drill. @SHSU Now why didnt I think of that?! At this point Ive deconstructed so much of the boat, whats a...

    I like the battleship mentality. She will be ready for WWIII!! Crazy how much pitting that has there. Need to pull out my knee brace and see if theres any gremlins under mine.
