    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yep, we all have found surprise "fixes" that PO have done. With what you are showing, I would recommend taking all the flooring out and do a fresh install. The junk on the hull is leftover from the original material Starcraft put their vinyl/carpet on with. You can use a wire wheel to remove...

    1988 Starcraft Mariner MR 220 V rebuild

    Nice cooler of fish!!! Curious, why you looking to swap engines? If the 225 is working what's the need for the 250 or is performance not quite there with the 225? SHSU

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    lol, I will admit at the beginning of the project I was so wired to make everything match and show room finished. After a year, it was more of match and less show room finish. Add another year (2 years now), it was get it done right and don't worry about the cosmetics as much. Now I am glad I...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Love the photos!!! The green is starting to grow on me too. Your buddy really did a job matching everything, even down to the calipers and differential cover. The Motor: What pitch is the prop you have on her now? I think I had a 19 and dropped it to 15. Works well to handle pulling the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Howdy and welcome aboard. Here is my stab at trying to answer some of your questions. The 30 that weren't properly set, can you elaborate? I am guessing you are talking about doing these with solid rivets and a dab of 5200. For foam, a lot of guys get theirs from the orange big box store...

    1985 16ss. Sylvan

    Any progress is good progress. I have said it before and I will say it again. I am so envious of ya'll that have the outdoor building space for large workshops. One day I hope to have that option. SHSU

    I have a Garmin CV. Wondered if a side imaging unit would have been worth it. Would be interested to hear what you think about it once you get a chance to play around with it. Additional info, I do anchor and fish. No trolling for me. Plus I got the Garmin when Gander Mountain went out of...

    Center console project

    I will have to look at it. Its cheaper then 3M 5200 if you don't include shipping. One site showed it was $12.99 but shipping was $67. Would be interesting to see how it stands up overtime for your project. SHSU

    Interesting, do you have any data on how it compares to 3M 5200? I know that is the go to for most boaters. SHSU

    What did I do wrong with Transom?

    Foam: closed cell is the recommended in the form of foam boards. Don't use the liquid form. Many projects start with shoveling (litteraly) out the old liquid foam that had absorbed water. Wood for the deck: I think the standard is 1/2 inch from the factory. I went with ~3/4 as I am a bigger...

    Man, I completely missed that when I read your opening (Motor working) I envy ya'll that have room for the big barns/workshops. I can only dream about it...., but give up some things for others. SHSU

    22' Islander rebuild

    Welcome aboard!!!! Sounds like a fun project. Looks like there was plenty of growth in her before you got to clean her out. How is the motor? Does it run? SHSU
