Hey John good to see you with another project, you must have been suffering from withdrawl, what its been almost two months since you finished the last one:facepalm::bounce:

 

[classiccat]

Dang John! Cant tell if you're comin' or goin' :lol:

Whatever the plan, I'm sure it'll be top-shelf when you are done with her! :thumb:

Thanks guys, and yes Glen I was really suffering from withdrawal, but this was the first winter I've been able to park my vehicle in my garage so that was a nice treat not having to clean 6 inches of snow off in the morning or having to use my command start twice to get into a warm vehicle, any way we got the inside gutted we are going to move the consoles and windshield ahead by 1 foot prefer to have more space in the rear portion, the bow will still have a lot of space, and going to put a live well in the bow section.

So what do you all think about my new engine, got that pic off a guys add who was looking buy a Mercury engine on Winnipeg kijiji, got a laugh thought I might share.

 

[TruckDrivingFool]

There was an engine in that last pic?

Don't think that is in :canada:

 

[TruckDrivingFool]

Post that pic all you want but I still don't see a motor. :lol:

 

[Woodonglass]

Is that a "Package" Deal???

Given the average age of the Starcraft crowd, and the medical conditions we might have or are recovering from, that is a dangerous post, and just plain mean ;>)

I sure hope they come together, makes a much better sales pitch.

Got a bit more done, removed the first 2 pieces of plywood actually they were both in really good condition, and the blown in flotation looks good so far as well, I know the 2 rear pieces of ply flooring definitely need replacing not sure about the foam there either, we'll see tomorrow.

 

[sprintst]

So at this pace can we safely assume you will be done by April 1st ?

Another nice SS hits the Budski hangar! I'll be interested to see the conversion into a fishing boat and the livewell install especially. I've been shopping for a complete livewell kit online and had no luck finding one.

Look forward to another great build. Thanks

Here's pretty simple way to install a live well, I've purchased a couple of live wells from great lakes skipper, they have many styles and sizes and parts.

 

[budski]

The sea nymph we rebuilt had 2 live wells in the bow we only reinstalled 1 of them going to use the other for this project,

 

[Watermann]

That would be a great set up for sure. It looks easy alright like the 2 in my SN but I can't find anything similar to that livewell with a top / hatch to seal it. All the ones I see are replacement livewells for other boats and it's just the tub.
