    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Here's a few pictures of my boat. The first one was taken during the interior project, and it shows it on the trailer I built during the first phase of my build, and the other three are interior and exterior shots of it. This is the link to the first phase of my boat build...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I used Ford's website and built an F150 XLT and a F250 XLT. My trim is doctored up XLT, a step under the Lariat. For me the F250 ended up being cheaper. I advise anybody considering a 1/2 ton to look at the lighter duty, GAS, 3/4-ton trucks. In my case I got a 6.2L versus the 5.0L that comes in...

    I ordered from our local dealership. The car salesman said something about the 23s headlights changing. He said they will basically look the same, but something about how they're made is going to make them extremely expensive (for headlights) to replace. I think he said it's basically going to...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Update: The boat ran really good this summer and the interior held up well. I finally ended up getting the truck I ordered last November and I'm really happy with it so far. For what I paid and what the used trucks are going for I have no regrets. It's a light duty F250 XLT with the gas 6.2. I...

    Thanks! I think they did a great job too. Coming along a little more today, just a few loose ends to get wrapped up. I think the trouble to have the custom throttle bezel made was worth it.

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    They're going to start on my side panels this week, so it shouldn't be too much longer, and my boat will be on the water this year. Meanwhile, they finished my custom mat and I tried that out today. It fits great! I need to widen the hole to fit around the hotrod post a little. I think it looks...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    A few months ago I decided I wanted to tinker with an oudrive a little. It's iBoats history from a few pages back in this thread. I bought the boat for $400, removed my drive, scrapped the boat and put some used tires back on the trailer. Today I sold that trailer. I was asking $650, hoping to...

    The vinyl seems to be pretty good quality, and there is a lot of padding but they are firm. They feel like new seats.

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Thanks! My back-to-back (I think what you're calling sleeper seats) were purchased from Deck-Mate. Then I purchased the matching vinyl from Deck-Mate to have the rear bench built custom. I like my new back-to-back seats. I remember doing a little homework about the vinyl and it's a pretty...

    I reinstalled my new back bench and took it to the shop to have the side panels built. This is the first time I saw the bench installed with the newly covered transom cap. I think it looks sharp. Can't wait to see it with the sides installed. I should get it back in about a month or so. The...

    I think they matched the seams in the for the flooring with the seams for the metal. I'm pretty sure that seam is where the metal comes together too. Then they replaced the rivet as in the pictures.

    Thanks Shoestring! I used marideck vinyl flooring, which I believe is basically the same thing as Nautolex. I chose the marideck because I wanted it done in white, and I couldn't find where Nautolex is made in white. I can't take credit for the work. I bought a roll of the flooring I wanted on...

    No problem at all. That's what we're all here for, discuss and help each other with our project boats.

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I've been waiting on a couple new trim pieces (should be in later this week). In the meantime, I've been getting some of that new 316 SS hardware installed. I cut some 3/4 marine ply and backed my forward cleats with it. I've been wanting to do that, but the side panels were in the way. They...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I wanted to share this picture that shows what I've been talking about. The metal shop cut the new transom cap such that the corner doesn't hold it down anymore. Instead, my transom cap will be held down by the cleat screws and the hot rod pins. This change means that my corners don't have to be...

    They finished up installing my marideck vinyl flooring today. I think they did a great job. That really cleaned the boat up a lot. Next up: Side Panels

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I picked my boat up from having the corners cleaned up. Sorry no pictures right now, but I'll get some later. What they did, they trimmed the corners of the new transom cap I had built, to match the curvature of my corner trim pieces, so now my transom cap is no longer held down by my corner...
