    1974 Starcraft 21’ Holiday

    JB water weld works good, or JB weld with a backing plate for the holes. As for Fiberglass on the transom, usually 2 or three is all you need. Just make sure to account for the extra thickness of the fiberglass build up when cutting your transom. SHSU

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Use whatever you can get locally/easily. When it gets scratched, will be easy to repaint with the same color/paint. Just my 2 cents SHSU

    1987 Starcraft islander 190v?

    If you are taking bow out of the front cover, make sure the windows won't be impacted. I found my windows were designed for a curve, so going flat wouldn't have worked with the original windows. SHSU

    Second MNHunter1's concern on the solids vs blind. If your worried about strength, just add more blinds in between. SHSU

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Use Gluvit or coat it for your seams. That is what it is made for. 5200 probably wont do as well if used in that way. SHSU

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    Is that the flooring? I don't think they used gelcoat, but could be wrong. Most of us replace the floor since we are doing all the other work anyways. Plenty of guys have used some form of non slip on their decks to seal/cover. SHSU

    I vote for painting with a little brown paint and calling it good. If we tried to hide every imperfection we would never finish our boats. SHSU

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Yep, depending on how much room/slack you want in your system. Shouldn't affect steering, just aesthetics/space. I initially tried marine grease to lube mine, but found it was what was gunking up my system. I have since switched to WD40 to clean out and lube. Maybe a lighter grease would be...

    That will make replacing them easier if it is ever needed. Any worries about the sun warping them, or thought that heat will help make it flatter over time? SHSU

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    We went from a rack and pinion to rotary too. As for any tips, just get the measurement right. We went with Sea Star and only issue has been it getting stiff at the motor. The steering tube gets junked up and makes it hard to turn. Don't think that is on Sea Star but more on the old motor...
