    1988 Starcraft Mariner MR 220 V rebuild

    Crazy how these archived photos so perfectly answer some of the questions that come up. It's almost like you staged that photo just to answer this specific question. I need your crystal ball:)

    1982 115hp Crank or Prop rated

    Also curious to know about this fitting that is located between #3 and #4 plugs on the '84. It's not currently connected to anything. Something to do with cooling?

    1982 115hp Crank or Prop rated

    Picked up a pair of 115hp, one a 1982 and the other a 1984, although the '82 has the '84-85 decals for some reason. My research has suggested that the '82's after serial 5829464 are actually prop rated, leveraging the 140hp block. This '82 is serial# 6007313. It still uses the older trim...

    I didn't get any pictures or videos of myself and the 72yo seller trying to load all this in the back of my minivan in 95 degree heat... quite the circus.

    Two is one, and one is none, right? Picked these two up yesterday, both 115hp, one a 1984 and the other a 1982 (although the skins/decals are the '84-'85 type). Came with three 6 gallon tanks, extra props, manuals, stands, and many extras. Looks like all the core electrical components are...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    The full length bracing is interesting, never seen one done like that before. The welding work on the knee brace and how clean the deck rivets/some of the deck appear would indicate someone has tackled this one before. Always a good feeling to have them gutted and the hull looks to be in good...

    New Journey

    Stung a bit with today’s prices, but also rationalized the use of AB Marine Fir over the ACX Pine. Holding off on templating the casting deck until I know If I’m going to modify it or not. On a side note, an empty motor stand doubles as a handy little sheet goods stand. 👍🏻 Time to make some...

    Nope, not me. Now, if I could swap out the decals for 115...

    Beginner beginning a complete restoration - Starcraft 18

    The dash, stairs, side panels, splashwell, etc. all contribute to the structural integrity of the hull. This is part of the reason they are all secured to the deck and such. If you are looking at reconfiguring any of this, you'll want to ensure you find other means to account for this. The...

    That there would be a Starcraft Holiday. WM's rivet thread/info is also a sticky/favorite that can be found at the top of the Starcraft forum.

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I wish they would have messed up my rating with a 150hp...but then again, probably better they didn't :)

    Something prop rated, with trim, and standard BIA bolting pattern. I'd love to find a 90hp or 115hp '84-87 Mercury as I am familiar with all the maintenance on them. My last two motors were both '87 Mercs, so I now know my way around the impellers, fuel pumps, carbs, switchboxes, triggers...

    New Journey

    Not much to update as other projects and kids activities are still on the front burner, but I did get the '82 70hp Mercury sold over the weekend and now have an empty motor stand awaiting it's replacement. I've missed out on two different 115hp due to logistics/distance with them both selling...

    !978 14' Seafarer restoration

    Is that the good stuff, or the "new and improved" subpar non-methylene stuff? I picked up some of both the Jasco and the Citrus stuff to see which one provides better results. Wish I would have hoarded some of the old formula away before they went all safe and green on us.

    Starcraft Holiday 18 make over

    Nice work! Looking forward to the pictures of the completed windshield after the sneak peek of the cardboard mock up.

    Post a pic of your starcraft!

    Beautiful Mariner! I think you just helped me decide the paint color for my rebuild. That white looks so clean.

    This arrived last week as well:) My toy budget is usually a conflicted balance between boats and things that go boom. I keep on thinking what a nice 115hp this could have funded... Custom M700 LH 7RM barreled and assembled by LongRifles Inc. out of SD.

    New Journey

    The MR180 is still a lady in waiting, but getting some more work done around the house for the admiral before I jump back into the obsession...she knows if I don't get things done before I start on the boat, they won't get done until after the boat :) Deck stairs completed, and plumber will be...
