    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU Glad you like it! I will still have front seats, just no walkway - slightly awkward. Admiral insists on sitting up front, and I want a casting deck. We will see how it turns out down the road lol. Ill plan on gluing the neoprene in then too. Doesnt seem like a big issue if you have...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    All right! Soft start again... baby steps... put the last coat of spar on the front bow wood and got the AL pieces almost ready to punch in. Im replacing the old foam under the bow cover with some neoprene. Will that be an issue? Was just going to glue it to the wood, pretty sure that will...

    22' Islander rebuild

    Really awesome you got to give your other boat to your grandson. I know what that will mean to him. On a funny note, give a kid a boat and they will be too broke to get into any trouble!!

    21' Holiday Rebuild

    Looking at the differences, doesnt seem to be an issue for the side panels you are using it for. Cant wait to see how it looks all riveted in! I like the hosing out the boat idea - nothing better than an easy cleanup. Making me consider other options for my sides now. If money were no object...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @crankbait cowboy The list changed a little bit and will probably change again. As the boat comes together it will start making more sense! Only thing I cant control is the weather. My garage has a big buddy heater, but its uninsulated. In CA, March will generally be the start of...

    21' Holiday Rebuild

    There have been people who have done AL floors. No reason why not for a side panel. Would cost more but certainly is indestructible. I remember hearing about the “skillet” effect from when the sun heats up a surface, but that seems to be for where you walk more. For the battleship, more metal...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @benfish909 Thanks for the advice. Ill give her plugs n muffs, and ill use plugs. My hearings already pretty shot from hunting haha. At least my neighbors have been watching the slow resto and are aware of whats about to come. They are all for it! It may be an HOA but it pays to know your...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I will definitely do that. One thing that will require some finesse will be getting the Admiral to help me rivet in a cold garage at night lol. Kinda scary to know that when I look up from under the boat, she will have a 4lb bucking bar in her hand... lol. Mainly waiting on a vise so I have...

    21' Holiday Rebuild

    Yea you are a few steps out haha. Im planning on a hydroturf floor, but my friends who build custom jet boats bed-lined their floors. I dont see why doing your floors like that wouldnt work and would help keep it very clean. I also like that once its on, it wont peel up ever like the other...

    1st boat - 1981 Starcraft SS 160

    @MNhunter1 That open deck underneath is pretty sweet for easy access. Clean too with the AL bracing. One thought on floor material as an alternative to vinyl is the jetski material hydroturf. Had an ugly green one in my boat that faded, but feels awesome barefoot. I plan on having it again...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @MNhunter1 !! I read your build thread recently too and you made one fine, clean looking boat! Ill check out US composites too. Looking for the cheapest quality I can find lol. Most of my deck was epoxied by the PO so Im lucky there, I just need to fill in the screw holes that he put...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Would putting spar over the epoxy help prevent cracking? Heard of people doing that. I know I have glass in my shed from way back when I wanted to shape surfboards. Pretty sure its not enough but could always get more.

    1st boat - 1981 Starcraft SS 160

    Understand the need for bow seats for the ladies (and kids in my case). My boat came with a front deck / casting seat, and my idea right now is removable cushions that velcro in place- wife wants bow seating. All seating including a rear bench will be homemade (not fancy just useable). I dont...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks, I will have to look up the other systems. West system looks nice but made me choke a little at the price lol. My budget is not unlimited!!! I dont think Im going to do glass cloth if I have that extra piece of AL. The wood will literally be sandwiched. Still happy with how the...

    Sounds like you got a good plan going for your boat! Thanks for doing the homework on the epoxy for me haha. Just bookmarked the post - helps me keep track of all the info in here I need. I like the aggressive time table, its along the lines of mine. What kind of fish you after? Will your...
