    Post a pic of your starcraft!

    My Starcraft experience from earlier this spring went a little sideways. and now boats and boat parts are multiplying like rabbits. I got the Seafarer I purchased In February on the lake and outfitted to perform some inventory surveys. It took some effort, I tried a couple 9.8s and wasn’t...

    Mercury 9.8 No spark after being in storage for the winter

    my patience ran out with my 2 9.8s they both blow to much oil and probably need seals throughout. I found a year old 25 4 stroke and bought it yesterday. I’m hoping to figure out how to rebuild after boating season.

    Mercury 9.8 No spark after being in storage for the winter

    I wish I paid 300 for my 9.8. Check for corroded grounds, and broken wires. especially the stop switch.

    1992 Malibu Sunsetter Euro F3 rebuild seeking advice

    Don’t be afraid of filling holes in the exterior gel, it’s really simple, my friend drilled a 1” hole for a tower in a mastercraft that was 3 inches off. We ordered a small gel repair kit and you can barely tell where the hole was. That was in 2012. I think drilling and bolting it down while...

    1992 Malibu Sunsetter Euro F3 rebuild seeking advice

    Yikes that’s a lot of work, I like the old Malibu’s, I want a mid 90s response as a project someday. Couple thoughts on the transom bond. Could you inflate a ballast bag against it to push it in? I would consider through boltping the thing down, until it cures then remove hardware and cover...

    New to me 16ft Starcraft!

    Here's the engine, if I go by SN I come up with a 1984 build date, If I use the cowl graphics then its a 1980. I have to order a carb kit rebuild kit I think this boat has been sitting awhile. so I think it should be disassembled and cleaned. I'm hoping this is as straightforward as a...

    Ski pole for tube attachment

    a few ski boat towers have been damaged by a submarining tube, the main pole/pylon in the middle of a Mastercraft can take the hit, the rear tow hook is also supposed to. Ultimately it's the boat owners/drivers responsibility to always watch the rider through a mirror. I inform anyone that...

    New to me 16ft Starcraft!

    Thanks, especially for the terminology google is a bit finicky these days. I came up with this after talking to a friend that explained how he does counters on the phone. I have one sheet cut and it worked well. I cut a coroplast signboard into strips and just taped them together to make a line...

    New to me 16ft Starcraft!

    No leaks as far as I can tell, I let it fill with rainwater and the trailer is dry so at least the keel area is tight. I currently have the motor off and am building a template to cut the flooring with. I busted out the aerial photography apparatus and wanted a good overview shot to play with...
