    Good to know about the sprayer. Ive considered that for mine now since i have a compressor. Did you add a hardener or anything else to the paint? It looks shiny and glossy, could just be the fresh paint.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU Well I checked the bow and sure enough, forgot to retighten the screws before putting the cover on. Sometimes I need to stop and think! Lol. Ordered more blind rivets with my correct solids so Ill redo the bow quick n tighten it all down. I think 5200 is better for the screws too, which...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Glad I re-read my thread. I had ordered 1100 pure AL rivets, which is what Ive used so far, and got to @Watermann ’s advice about only using above waterline... good thing I havent started hammering below! Placed an order for 2117T4’s so I should be well covered now. Will have lots of extras...

    @SHSU I reused the original screws from starcraft, and the wood glue is tite bond 3. 5200 would probably be better? I need to check to see if i left the supports loose - loosened them to try to get the cover to fit the bow, hope i retightened!! So far Ive left the number of blinds in the trim...

    Starcraft 16' Bahama Fiberglass vs. Starcraft 16' Starmist Aluminum

    Buy both, swap motors to the 55 on the AL assuming they both are running equally well. Sell the glasser, keep the AL. With that work already done to the AL, it sounds like a sweet deal.

    Finished blind riveting the rails today. Then spent some time prepping the transom too. When I imagine the wood sandwiched to my hull, Im wondering if a thin aluminum backer plate would be an issue? Also looking at 2-part jb weld AL as the filler. Whats the best recommended material for...

    Got all the original supports riveted back in. Used solids again for a more solid build. Also replaced 1/4 of the blinds on the inner gunnel trim, will do another 1/4 after dinner. Then its just the blinds under the RR trim left to do. The rest of the week I will spend prepping/ building...

    Looking real nice! I like the idea where floors are removable and the sides are AL. Thats solid.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @Watermann I believe it was one of your threads I was actually reading that on. I found one of those rust looking spots on my boat and all the blinds are rusty inside... I could take an hour and replace em quick. Did any of you add more than the original? Live update, just cleaned up...

    @SHSU yes top is blinds, except for 1 solid on each side where it meets the other gunnel tops. Then the 5 wood screws across the top. Coated all the wood screws in glue before setting - figured it couldnt hurt. There were a few extra holes already and everything was pretty close, except for...

    Bow is riveted! Just the rub-rail and nose piece left, so will finish that when i get my rails. May be a few, havent ordered yet. And some pics of my less than stellar riveting lol. Considering they were blinds before, Im not worried. Pretty happy with it so far even though my work isnt...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU Hahaha of course there are pictures... it just wasnt done yet. My practice AL piece was 3/16” thick and i just did the smaller length rivet of the 2 solids I got. I forget what size, but meant to go through 2 pieces of AL on the boat. Ill take some pics of the ones that were not so nice...

    @classiccat Thanks! The practice ones turned out great. The boat ones, most were good lol. But the bow area is awkward to work on in my defense as a FNG. I forgot to turn down the pressure after doing my first few! Thanks for the reminder. Here are a few more pics of the front! Going to...

    I fully understand not putting too much money into the boat. Im already past what I paid for my boat and 2 motors lol, but some of that is in tools so thats a wash. Will you be able to remove the floor without removing the side panels with it being AL?? Cause that would make a lot of sense.
