    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Was able to wash and paint the new old trailer today! I think it turned out pretty good and really didnt try to make it “perfect”. It will do. The admiral showed her approval so thats what counts the most! Even my first mate was happy to help paint it haha. Heres the before/after shots...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Absolutely!! Ive seen what exposed bolts do to the bottoms of these poor tin boats. The new old trailer had screws into unsealed wood, and they were so rusted i cut half off with the grinder. But other than where the bunks attach, she had very little rust and its mainly a surface rust -...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Had a busy weekend with family n friends so not a whole lot of progress unfortunately. Coated the new bunk boards with some spar and prepped the trailer for paint. Brushed a bunch of rust spots off, took off all the lights, and scraped old stickers off. Just needs a pressure washer bath, then...

    1972 Starcraft Nova

    The more experienced guys will be along shortly to tell you whats factory and whats probably not, as well as how to fix that crack. Not a big deal and id double up on the gluvit after your repairs. Very cool family history that youre keeping alive. No better way to do it.

    1972 Starcraft Nova

    I like the classic lines and windshield on the novas! Cant wait to see how this big one turns out. Didnt know they made em that long.

    1973 ISLANDER REFIT

    Those old islanders are pretty cool! Sounds like you have a good plan of attack.

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    There ya go! I was thinking sell the one that needs more work with all the unwanted pieces, and build the nice one with the best of both of their pieces. But you could keep the other to use n abuse if you really want to. You can turn the better of the two into a pretty ski/fish boat easily...

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    For $600 Id pick that other one up regardless lol. Thats just me though. Then Id take the best of both and put it in the good one, throw all the pieces leftover in the other, and list it for $500 or $1000... The original hull is fixable from what ive seen here but thats a lot of work. For...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @classiccat Ill scoot it down the list! Thought it may be good for structure when i flip for paint but that can wait. Will be easier to do electrical, floors, n fuel lines with it not there too. Got new lights and carpet ordered for the new trailer today. I think ill be able to use...

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Ouch! I live at 4,000’ in Ca and its an early spring here. Very mild winter. Looks like my yard a month ago though! Hope it warms up for you soon.

    Questions about my hull

    My starcraft had holes sealed by the PO in the front and water was trapped inside. Being in a freezing climate i not only drilled through the epoxy he sealed the holes with, but i also added a drainage hole in the rear of the stringer. There was a bunch of water inside that came out of the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Update to my “to do” list. Keeps my head in the game to look it over and update it. Was hoping for a birthday splash but that ship sailed. So, absolute deadline is when my niece comes to visit mid June. Its funny, the fixing section over winter took a while and was only a few items on the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @BWR1953 That would have been easier than a chainsaw!! But close enough to the point 😂. Ive seen enough rotten glassers to know to stay away from em.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    The glasser met its maker today, and i kinda had fun trashing it lol. It was rotten all the way through, so not even a chance for anyone saving it. Chainsaw and recip saw went through most of it pretty quick. My buddy loaded it into a dump trailer with his bobcat, which was very handy, and we...

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    @ShoestringMariner haha nope wasnt me that hit it. It was POx2. Then PO “fixed” it with blinds and ran it while leaking 10 gal/hr with a bilge constantly on. Again, surprisingly resilient, and when fixed right should be a very reliable, safe boat!

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    Doesnt look too bad. Transom will be the final judgement but patch her up and she will be solid! My boat hit a log hard enough to dent the hull near the bow, break 100+ rivets, and break the motor skeg/fin off. They are surprisingly resilient.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks guys. Once the lines come in I will fool around with it and decide which way to go. I will have a hatch that opens up for full access to my fuel tank and fittings so that leaves me options. Going to put the fill/vent up on the gunnel near the passenger window. Makes sense to me with...

    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

    😍 Yes! Let us know how that turns out. Id love to have a new motor on mine even though the old 2 strokes are fun.
