    1978 18ft Mariner Floor Rip Out: I have some questions..?

    Im putting a 17g fuel tank in the bow of my 16’ boat, with a 75 johnson in the back. Im sure it would balance with your longer boat even better. My stern always sat low in the water compared to the bow, even with 2 people at the consoles.

    1978 18ft Mariner: I won this "Pig in a Poke" on Ebay..!

    @BigMega I see the floors were pretty much mulch. Still plenty of potential! Are you planning on rebuilding a new center console?

    Very nice! She looks to be in good shape. No floors either so seeing if rivets are bad will be easy. What are you planning on powering her with?

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU I take it you left the old glue then to cover it with vinyl. I was just going to paint it, cause thats cheap, but the old glue is so bumpy it would look horrible. So had to remove the old glue to smooth it to paint, then I figured why even paint?! It took me around 45 min to do half the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Found 1/8” 5052 AL 4x8’ sheet for $180. 1/16” for $120. @classiccat I believe I read you cut your own sheets with a jigsaw? Also is the HF bending brake able to bend that 1/8” sheet? Id rather go big with the bracing than small. I want to do the braces under the gunwale shelf, and the L...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU the s*******t is still coming as I figure out bracing costs. Either way I dont see it being as low as I hoped. Oh well, boat will look good, Ill be happy, family safe. That doesnt have a price. As I wait on rivets and such to arrive, Ive been polishing up the side panels inside the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Slowly moving along, but gearing up to start moving faster. Bunch of tools and rivets are on their way. Im finishing stripping and prepping the boat - still have some paint to get off. Took the rub rail off today. Nyloxed 90% of the transom. Noticed a lot of pitting but only 1 bad little...

    https://forums.iboats.com/threads/my-first-starcraft-1975-18-supersport.576017/page-18 Lol dont quote me, Im going off what I remember these guys doing. I believe they form the aluminum with a hammer to the hull. Put 5200 between the patch and the hull. Bigger patch is better. Not sure how many...

    Welcome! Boat looks like its in really good shape! Also in the process of rebuilding mine so will watch n learn from what you do. Im a few steps behind and my boats not that nice looking haha. I thought about adding bracing like that from ribs to hull, but angles get a bit weird especially...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @SHSU What the admiral dont know wont kill her 😂. Maybe just me later lol. Nice having tools anyway and shes already talking about the next, bigger boat lmao. Yes it was the keel that was damaged, as well as the hull. Both just slightly, maybe 1/8” pushed in. Definitely have some rivets to...

    @classiccat Beer isnt cheap when friends n family can hold their own!! Also keeps me moving, only thing better than an ice cold beer in freezing temps is an ice cold beer on the boat in the summertime... Thats a sigh of relief that the rivets are likely all aluminum. I dont believe anyone...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    What a long day! Ordered 500 rivets and bought an air compressor. Solid rivet gun is coming next once I narrow down the one I want tomorrow. After 5 hours on the phone for work and ordering parts for the boat, finally had a few minutes to flip the boat back over and put it back on the trailer...
