I need to order some solid rivets for the v220 mariner! Who has the experience of what i should order and where to get them...also the most effective tool to use to hammer them in place?
It had pour in foam...but that is all removed..it is actually pretty clean inside..I haven't pressure washed yet! Pretty soon..want it really clean..Again comlete rivet check and replacement then gluvit i suppose..I am questioning on a really good way to put flotation foam back in...is there a...
Well!! Finally I've made some progress and have decided to go all in! lol..I've pulled floor,removed all foam..soon to pressure wash..looks pretty good over all..checked all rivet heads on bottom that had heads flaking off...hit them ALL pretty firmly..Will have to redo like 50 !!! I need to...
I just went off the registration..stating 82...but trolling this site I understand this boat can handle pretty big waters..sure has a ton of fishing room to drift fish halibut,lings,and rockfish..am I to also understand it a little beefier as far as ribs,etc.? Has 240 max. Hp rating
Adding to post now...I guess my fear is that is it actually possible for seams to pop open? Also..does anyone have input on what flotation my 1982 starcraft should have..and could I do a very effective flotation add on..after I do rivets and gluvit?
Hi all..have had this boat for a while now..looking to take off floor and redo it..transom seems very solid..it's an outboard..never been messed with...I've got an issue where some of the rivet heads on bottom fall off when tapped...not too many but enough to give me concern..would this be scary...
Thinking about taking up floor and doing rivets..then adding foam again...I've got 150 honda v-tec ready to bolt on..starcraft guys..think it's worth it? Good boat for west coast ocean?...not to far out and mostly good days!!
