    1984 Starcraft 16ft Glutton for Punishment [Splashed July 2019]

    Well after ya'lls comments on the mounts, I decided that was the best way to go. I created some and added them along the gunwales (5 in total). 5200 and solid rivets through them to keep them in place

    Howdy All, Been awhile since I posted anything. Been a busy last couple of months. Got the splashwell from my welder and dry fitted into the boat. Took a couple times for my welder and I to get it to fit right. Didn't account for some slant in the floor or the transom. Nothing is ever...

    Still working slowly but surely. This is a combination of two weekends to cut everything out and dry fit. Did a lot of measuring and remeasuring to get everything as close as possible. Made a template out of cardboard for the front of the consoles. I was happy with how they came out. I...

    BWR1953 Mine is similar; however, I don't remember it running the full length of the gunwales. It stopped at the console and then continued again on the other side. I don't know if this was a previous mod by original owner during a restore or if factory. I will have to go back and look at...

    I haven't had a chance to work on the boat in the last couple weeks. Finally got some time to sneak out and finally posting progress. Read that people have issues taking the seat mounts out after some time. Below is a before shot and after shot of buffing. Before After Added some...

    Thanks Guys, moving a long and really happy with the progress. oscarvan Its standard CDX that I covered with Blue Fasco Epoxy. Decided to give it a try and document its use for future rebuilds. Thus far it hasn't been bad for the price point. You can find some more information on the...

    Thanks guys, following the recommendation and spent time making the joiners. Also, made a change to the seating arrangements. Decided to use one of the joiners as a seat pedestal near the aft. So we will seat 3 in the back vs the 4 originally planned. Will also be used as an adjustable...

    Got some work done over the last couple days. After a lot of debating with myself, I decided not to go with the self contained ratchets that others have used. I really liked the idea of having them, but couldn't figure out a good way to properly mount them on this trailer. My next build will...

    Other plans got postponed so got to do some work this weekend. Installed all the bolts (except one). Squirted 5200 into the hole before liberally adding it to each screw to make sure I got it all over the interior of the transom to protect it. I would not want to be the person that tries...

    Well guys, it has been a while since I had any updates. Been a little slow moving recently. Other projects/family taking up time. Followed WM's suggestion and used JB Water Weld to fill where the epoxy I used didn't fill to the top. It will prevent water from sitting in the holes and...

    Tell me about it. All in all it wasn't to bad, but will see how it holds up over time. See if my prep was good enough or if the SE was needed. On another note, got the boat back on her trailer!!!! Then my dad noticed that a couple sections were tacky...

    So with the new epoxy mixed with 6oz of pigment vs 4 oz and two coats later you can see the difference. Washed with vinegar, then sanded with 220, and a wipe down of acetone (Not shown) before painting new coats as it had been a week since my last coat You can see the difference between...

    As promised, here are the pictures I took of the boat. You can definitely see the difference between coat 4 and coat 8. Been using a foam roller which applies the epoxy much thinner than if I had used a nap hence why I am able to have so many layers without fear of to much build up. 4 coats...

    I am having some issues with the color as you said. I have reached out to Fasco to see if I double the amount of pigment in the epoxy, if it will give me the coverage/color I want. Here in Houston, Holiday parties have snow brought in for the kids to play in!!!! Picture from Tomball (N...
