    New Journey

    Just checking in. Slow movement on the MR180 w/ other distractions and obligations, but I started to tear into the old Tower of Power. Fuel pump, carbs, water pump getting some love.

    Interested in the brand/model of the 12 gallon tank as I'm looking to replace my dual 6 gallons as well.

    I did replace the uprights with stainless bar, and the side mounts/supports with HDPE. Happy to send my originals your way as I have no use for them. Just shoot me a PM and we can discuss.

    1982 MR 180

    I would personally stick with aluminum rivets. Stainless for screws, aluminum for rivets. Solids preferred for anything structural, but if you don't have access to the tail end, then you're stuck with closed end blinds. Aluminum will avoid dissimilar metals and assumedly fill the hole better...

    1984 starcraft islander

    I've only left mine docked for a few days while on vacation. Bilge pump with float switch wired direct to battery as a minimum, but I'd invest in a boat lift if I planned to do it regularly. Otherwise, I'd plan to keep it on the trailer when not in use. I've also seen some pretty significant...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I set my circular saw at an angle using the old deck angle to set my blade for the long runs. Angled my jig saw in the same manner for the notches around the ribs in the bow.

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I've used the wood joiners on all three of my builds, and the same process of doubling the deck with an extra piece of 3/4" ply wherever seat pedestals get mounted. Glued and screwed, and sealed with spar. Make sure to account for the stringer placement if you go this route. Depending on how...

    I'm looking at replacing the wooden uprights for my flip flop seat with some aluminum flat bar as shown in the attached pictures. The current wood pieces measures 2" wide and 7/8" thick, assuming teak? If I were to use a 6061 aluminum flat bar, would 2" x 1/2" of similar length be sufficient...

    New Journey

    I sent them an email on Monday, but haven't heard anything back. What I discovered through multiple phone calls to different companies/suppliers, was that most don't typically hold any physical inventory and the product ships direct from the manufacturer. Looks like I'm changing from green to...

    You asked for feedback. I provided it. I apologize if it wasn't to your liking.

    1978 SS 16 restoration

    The factory consoles are tied into the gunnels and deck. I think you will find that they do provide a lot of structural integrity when combined with the wood panels on the console fronts and windshield. This is why it is always recommended to ensure your are engineering some additional support...

    1978 SS 16 restoration

    I'd stay with the existing console layout and not adjust any of the fundamental design. Much if it ties into the overall structural integrity of the hull. Any modifications starts messing with windshield alignment and has a tendency to domino into issues that might need to be addressed. All a...

    Still checking the forums every day, but haven't been the best at posting, nor made much for progress on the MR180. Kids, life, hunting season...excuses, excuses:) Anyway, digging back in and starting to give her some more attention. Unfortunately, after several emails back and forth with the...

    New-To- Me 1972 Starcraft 18' Mariner-V... Thoughts?

    Not to hijack the thread, but figured the OP might be interested in the information as well: With the 115HP, what size fuel tank are you running under the console and what kind of run time are you getting out of it? I have a 115hp tower of power and currently looking at running a 12gallon tank...

    1982 MR 180

    Never ran it with the 70hp. Sold it before stripping it down and have a 115hp Mercury inline 6 waiting to be mounted.
