    F70 boggin

    Guess I should rephrase that from just boat to boat and loadout. All decked out for fishing it would be heavy for a 70 with his boats loadout. Specs... https://starcraftmarine.com/model/166-dc/

    Transom Reinforcement

    I have a 115 Merc 4 cyl on my 18' SS and it weights in around 400 lbs. Although the V5 variant does have double knee braces with a very robust splashwell.

    1982 starcraft v220 mariner v5 potential rebuild

    1100F which is pure soft aluminum and 2117T4 which is a strong alloy. The hull AL material is 5052 alloy. I would not recommend using 1100F pure soft AL on structural components such as the ribs.

    StarCraft Splash of the Year 2025 - Nominations

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    The Terrova was probably the least expensive 24v 80# motor would be my guess, didn't need all the fancy fobs and such for my fishing style.

    1994 Starcraft Super Fisherman 170 Rebuild Help

    Welcome aboard, lots of projects here where our SCs have been stripped down to bare hull with repairs to the Al as well as deck and transom replacement. With motivation it takes at least a year to accomplish for the average person. We always enjoy seeing pics :cool:

    Repainting a 1989 221V Starcraft Islander

    I started leaving the bottom bare aluminum, no earthly reason to paint it when used in fresh water.
