    1996 Princecraft 16' Project

    Re: 1996 Princecraft 16' Project A year almost to the day since the last update. It's either too cold outside, too hot outside, or other things take priority over working on a boat. Still, some progress has been made in that year. All of the foam pieces have been cut and placed in the bow. I...

    1996 Princecraft 16' Project

    Re: 1996 Princecraft 16' Project Fishing was good. Limited out on stripers in a little over an hour. Decided to leave the mass of folks fishing for stripers and look for something fun. We settled into a spot, put a few lines in the water, and set about making some sushi for lunch. Here's my...

    Re: 1996 Princecraft 16' Project Gluvit is in hand, now trying to snag the pressure washer to clean out the rest of the hull before sealing. In the mean time, I decided last night to take the lid off of one of the benches at the stern. Knew there would be foam inside. Turned out to be two...

    Re: 1996 Princecraft 16' Project More deck ripping out today. I removed the casting deck, and found another one beneath it. Two more rod holders and one more seat mount to add to the inventory of bits to keep. Trash comes tomorrow, then I can refill the can again, and maybe take the kitchen...

    1996 Princecraft 16' Project

    Re: 1996 Princecraft 16' Project I'm leaning towards the side console right now, mostly because I like the way it looks better. I've removed the console and the boat looks much smaller, to me. Tiller is probably better for duck boating. I'm definitely planning to try to get that engine running...

    1996 Princecraft 16' Project

    Picked up a 1996 16' Princecraft at the end of last year. The previous previous owner had started making it into a side console, but never finished. They also seem to have loaded the thing up with non-marine plywood and 2x4's. 1974 Evinrude 40 tiller, don't know if it runs, I bought it assuming...
