    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration By Steve

    Thanks! Ive checked there site but had trouble viewing inventory. Finally got it to work. They still have 70's in stock, and actually list prices vrs call for details. Tacoma isn't far for me. Thought I was going to have to drive to Portland! ;) Mid Columbia says they just got a bunch in...

    Great job! Beautiful area to boat in. Did you have to bring your boat to Seattle for the install? Which dealer, if you don't mind me asking?

    Moving along nicely! I like those seats. I was looking at power plants yesterday. Pickings are kind of slim. 3 rivers only has a used version of the yammy 70 with a tiller. Thats pretty much the model I'm shooting for. Might need to get on a waiting list...

    They had at least a half dozen salesmen busy at their desks. He said 90% of their sales are to manufacturers and reoccurring orders. The internet sales don't even come close. Fortunately I had a list I made from your rivet thread, so I didn't seem too ignorant. They seemed genuinely interested...

    I made the pilgrimage! Currently sitting in jay-cee, aka rivetsinstock, aka rivets online, waiting for them to count out my order. Tip. Call rivets in stock to order. Rivetsonline is almost 50% more. 15$ for 100 solids online, 7.50 in person or on the phone. My 300$ tab was slashed down to $150.

    adding access hatches to Islander (tracking down a leak)

    2 years. You are going to make an access hole then find out your foam is saturated. Next thing you know, your boat is gutted. ;)

    That boat and location are both gorgeous! Ive watched your video of cruising the chief around. Other then astetics ,one of the reasons I'm leaning bare on the bottum is I'd be less concerned when beaching. I've been looking at power options. Finding used motor in the right range is proving...

    Did you get your rivets yet? I keep forgetting to call during midwest business hours. At this point, it might be easier for me to stop in and get them in person. I'll be in that area in like 3 weeks. Where are you located?(roughly) ill be driving from detroit to hale in a few weeks. Since you...

    It better not take me 2 and a half years! But then again, I did pick up the chief several years ago and have barely touched it. That polished hull does look pretty sweet.

    I really like the look of your chief with the bare bottum. Im leaning towards new paint on the inside of the hull, polishing the keel, and leaving the patina on the rest. Bonus would be not scratching the paint when beaching. I picked up a new rotating nozel for my pressure washer yesterday...

    Work has slowed a bit. Mother in law drove out from Michigan in her new van. I got my self involved in building a camper. Also doing a custom green house for the Admiral. Price to pay. Overly optimistic, she came home yesterday with a new life jacket and shirt for herself to wear on the boat...

    If you could make the trip, jc's is down in Farmington hills. I believe you can also call you're order in and pay over the phone, then have them delivered. I have my list, but I keep getting home late. I think it will be easier talking to a human then searching for each on their website. They...

    I like that cover. I don't have indoor space right now. Regular tarp don't cut it. Does it shed puddles when it rains hard?
