Hello,

I am a new boat owner of a 1972 Starcraft Holiday. The boat deck is rough and needs to be replaced. I also want to redo the transom as it seems weak and is flexing. The boat sat out side in the AZ sun for a number of years.

I am looking for tips on resoring the deck and transom. I also recently restored the 1971 Mercury Outboard 650 4cyl to the point I could run it out on the lake for the weekend. I would be interested in any tips on a full overhaul of this engine type.

Regards,

Tom Martin

Welcome! Best bet is to start reading. There's more Starcraft aluminum restores here than anywhere else.

Day 1 of Restoration. Tore out the carpet for find vinyl under it and rotten floor boards. Day 2 i gutted the rest of the boat down to the hull and took the engine off to remove the rotted transom. In the middle of cleaning it and getting ready to pop the rivets back in on the flooring.

Welcome to the Starmada :wave:

Yeah the first hurdle here is to figure out the forum pic uploads. :lol:
