    1982 Starcraft Center Console 18' Rebuild

    The modified brazier heads are the more narrow of the brazier heads. Modified brazier in 3/16 dia has a head dia of .390 while the brazier is .469. @Hodgey4489 It's only going to possibly matter which you use brazier or mod brazier when working on replacing close together rivets in the seams...

    Unable to login at website to order

    I see there's currently an issue with processing cards in a banner but I'm not able to login to my account at the shopping side to place an order. Says my username or password is incorrect when it is. Guess I will try to order as a guest and see if that gets it done for me. Thanks. (Edit: that...

    1965 Starcraft Holiday Restomod

    The easiest part of the job is dropping the motor back in place. Then comes the alignment which isn't that tough if you center the gimbal bearing first in the transom assembly by inserting the bar until it engages the coupler and tapping on all 4 sides of the bar.

    Anyone own a big hardtop Chief?

    In my little Chief cabin I found room to make a porta-potty work and look good as well.

    My First StarCraft; 1975 18' SuperSport

    That wasn't too bad of a smoke screen, I laid one a quarter mile long on my Merc's first run back in March. Fogging oil and too much hammering on the enricher made for quite the cloud when I took off from the dock. :D

    1989 Starcraft Islander 221V repair and repower

    Welcome to the fray, nice to see a hard top Islander come around for some love. Personally I really like the 4.3L over a 3.0 4 banger especially in a 22'r.

    Which 'aluminum acid wash' to use inside hull - restoration

    He has a thread on his boat I just remembered with pics of the corrosion and has been getting repair advice in the SC section. He seemed to be doing a good job too and getting advice from classiccat. :unsure...

    Which 'aluminum acid wash' to use inside hull - restoration

    Removing corrosion from pitting is extremely difficult and the home DIY guys in the Starcraft forum have used a number of products depending on the severity of the corrosion. Some pics of what you're dealing with would help with what advice to give. Minor surface corrosion with shallow pitting...

    1988 Starcraft Mariner MR 220 V rebuild

    No way to cover all the various models with exacting information for each item attached to the boat. So I simplified this in the sticky and just gave a ball park for solids 2 AL layers 3/8" L and 3 layers 7/16" L which will accommodate all of the variations to include the never totally flush...

    Newbie with 76 holiday

    Welcome aboard, good on you for taking on the challenge of a 45 year old tin boat. It's a good deal that they they upgraded to the 3.0L 4 banger over the old original 2.5L. In a light Holly/SS that 140 MC will move pretty good.

    19?? Starcraft Jetstar

    Yeah for sure, this year in cold March I got my SS out for walleye and the normally reliable Merc wasn't fired up at home first. The cylinders were full of fogging oil and she coughed and sputtered for some time before coming to life.

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    I really like this trailer set up, that's what I look for in my new ones too low slung bunk with side steps by the fenders. (y) Large full size wheels and tires are nice to have too. :)

    19?? Starcraft Jetstar

    Looks gray and choppy but a good splash none the less is what it's all about. (y)

    1973 ISLANDER REFIT

    Yeah 😂 I added a Merc God raised gel decal to my 115 and liked the look. :cool:

    1973 ISLANDER REFIT

    I can only give advice based on my experience my IO Starcraft. Although I can say that older models prior to late 70's have no spray rail chine or rib end braces, IOs 18' and over are very susceptible to cracking in those areas due to the weight of cast iron. In other words check those areas...

    1973 ISLANDER REFIT

    The major leaks are probably due to the rotten transom the IO transom assembly needs to have a solid transom or it will leak and sink your boat. Plywood if sealed and the boat taken care of properly will last many decades and most likely a lifetime. Anything left for the elements to ravage...

    Starcraft Arrow does anyone have original pictures

    Not many of us here are very familiar with or have materials for the glass models myself included. It is a cute little runabout though. :)
