    1987 Starcraft Islander 220V Rebuild

    Huge milestone today. Counsel's are finally properly fit and the windshield fits. I'll remove, coat and paint the plywood and then do final installation. Everything is being fastened with aluminum brackets repurposed from the Islander tear down. I'm looking for ideas on how to finish the bow...

    1987 Starcraft Islander 220V Rebuild

    Ya, only because I already have 5/8 cut and fitted and it turned out to be too spongy in my opinion. I should have just gone with 3/4 from the start. So, now I have 5/8 and 3/4 both fit and treated. I did dry fit both layers and kind of like the idea (since I have the material already). I...

    1987 Starcraft Islander 220V Rebuild

    Thanks for the information! I saw Waterman's advice below too (although a little late). So, I had brackets welded and am going to use vibration isolators (https://www.mcmaster.com/5823K5/) between the 90 degree tab and boats structure. I have the neoprene (from XCEL) and permatex too so pretty...

    1987 Starcraft Islander 220V Rebuild

    I just picked this up for $4K. It was a little more than I wanted to pay but with the outboard transom I thought $4K is at least close. I've been looking for the outboard transom on an islander for some time a while and they are rare to come up for sale. Its a mess inside but the hull looks real...

    1990 9.9hp Evinrude Prop for Kicker on 18 ft Aluminum Starcraft

    Someone stole my prop and I did not make note of what pitch. I use this motor for trolling mainly but also would use it in an emergency if I lost power on main motor. I read up a little on prop selection. Can someone give me a guess as to where I should start? 9, 10?
