    ...you know, looking at old Starcraft's online for sale. I am sure it is better for all of our marriages that it's gone though. Farewell old friend!

    Keel rollers or bunks?

    So I am getting ready to start working on my old junker trailer and make it look and function like new again. I have been debating whether to replace everything that I have there with the same set up (two bunks and keel rollers) or switching over to four bunks. If I did four bunks the two...

    Congrats!!!

    Ya know, I just realized something... I clicked over to the "Completed Boat Projects" thread and am realizing what a very exclusive club that is! Looks like only about 20ish boats total! I am certain there are many more out there that just haven't made their way to that thread (Bret comes to...

    Interesting random sighting...

    So I was headed into town this afternoon to do a few things and just down the road I notice a fella prepping his boat (Freeland Walleye Festival opens tomorrow) in his driveway. Yup, it's a Starcraft, looks like a Superfisherman. And, in big letters "TEAM STARCRAFT" along with a pretty fancy...

    Alpha off, whaduya think, u-joint corrosion...

    So i took a few minutes to pull the outdrive off of the donor boat and here is what I found... I need to spend some time in the manual and searching the threads but my initial thoughts are... Build a nice outdrive stand. Replace the u-joints. Bellows would be replaced when everything...

    Gauges??

    Hey Fellas! Couple of quick questions for ya... I am transplanting a Merc 4.3 Alpha set up into my old tin can (lots more on that in due time). What would I need for gauges? I'm sort of a simple fella so I'm thinking more on the minimal side of things. First off would this even work with my...

    Optimax Thoughts?

    I've been looking for a nice OB in the 150 HP range and came across this: http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/boa/1593272122.html I talked to the fella and he says that he picked this up from a marina. They apparently needed that oil pump so pilfered it off this Opti. What do you guys think...

    Hey fellas! It is supposed to get up to 40 today here in the middle of MI (I don't think it will make it though) so I thought I'd take a shot at pulling this outdrive off... What is the easiest method of attack? What might the sequence be? I thought I'd ask you guys and hopefully get it...

    Re-Power Suggestions....

    Howdy! So I just picked up this 22' Islander and have been doing a bunch of reading/researching and thinking about how I'd like to power it. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=369247 While I am still weighing out the I/O option... Lets just say, for the sake of argument, that I did...

    If you are looking for a Chieftain....

    The fella I bought my Islander from had a Cheiftain there too. The yard is in the Battle Creek area. It needs a ton of work, lots and lots of work. Yah a lot of work, but the price might be right on it. Shoot me a PM if you'd like some details on it.
