I currently have a 2002 Mercury 90hp four stroke outboard. When I purchased the boat, motor, and trailer the oil level was good. After hauling the boat over 300 miles home I planned to take the boat out on a test run the next day so I checked the oil again and it was way over full with the...
Re: I have the small classic boat itch. Talk me in or out of it
Wrenching on Jeeps and wanting a Starcraft Jupiter?
Why does this sound very familiar to me.
Maybe because I have both?
Go for it, you will never regret it.
Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild
All this concern over the paint and it looks better than mine.
I went the super cheap and easy route.
I used the Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Protective Enamel (Oil-Based) and cut in the corners with a bush then applied three coats with a...
Re: V4 Johnson & Evinrude engine cowl. What years are interchangeable?
You were right. I purchased a cowl from a 1996 Johnson 88hp SPL and it fit my 1985 Johnson 115 perfectly. Now I just have to paint it and put the '97-'98 Johnson 115 SPL decals on it. I may wait until this winter to do...
I have a 1985 Johnson 115 V4 and after spending several days restoring and repainting the engine cowl (cover/hood) I managed to knock it over and it fell to the concrete driveway and cracked it down the corner. I decided not to fix it and to get another one. Luckily I hadn't put the new decals...
Re: Anyone know the weight of a 1966 Evinrude 60-HP SportFour?
Thank you for the info.
It is the 20" shaft.
As for the gearcase, I am assuming that it is just the standard one.
Now to just figure out if it would be better to sell it complete, or part it out?
I don't see many classic...
I am going to put my 1966 Evinrude 60-HP SportFour up for sale and have been trying to find specs on this motor but have not had any luck. I know its heavy compared to newer 60-HP outboards but I would like to know the exact weight. I had considered trying to weigh it on my small package scale...
Re: 1964 Starcraft Jet - Rebuild
You need this 1966 Evinrude SportFour 60 HP that was the original motor from my '66 Jupiter. It was winterized 5 or 6 years ago in Michigan and the original owner died shortly after. The motor has never seen saltwater and hopefully never will. I replaced it...
Re: 1976 14ft Starcraft Falcon restoration
Thats a nice looking Falcon. Congrats on the great find. I almost bought a '68 Falcon at a consignment auction last year but had too many projects underway at that time. I should have bought it anyway. I could have had the boat, motor, & trailer for...
Re: 1960's Falcon Rebuild
Re: 1960's Falcon Rebuild
Does this mean I have to buy a Falcon and a Jet to go with my Jupiter?
I thought about buying this '69 Starcraft Falcon back in April. It sold for $125.
Re: What's everyone using as a boarding ladder or swim platform on their old Starcraf
It was removed from a Tidewater center console. It looks like it will work good on my Starcraft Jupiter.
Re: What's everyone using as a boarding ladder or swim platform on their old Starcraf
The ladder does telescope to 24".
I also plan on installing a grab rail on the gunwale (gunnel) just forward of the cleat to help with boarding the boat. I have 4 grab rails on one of my parts boats ('93...
I am almost finished parting out a 1982 Johnson 150 V6. I still have the carburetors and wanted to find out if they would work on a 1985 Johnson 115 V4 (I know I would only use two)? If so, would there be any performance loss or gain? The carburetors are clean and in great shape. They were...
Just curious what different boarding ladders or swim platforms everyone is using on their old Starcrafts? (post your pics)
I am about to install a new/used swim platform on my 1966 Starcraft Jupiter. It was removed from a brand new boat since the buyer wanted something better. I bought it from...
