    vinyl deck material ??

    I removed the rear deck no my Crestliner Sportfish 1750 (raised portion = rear casting deck) to replace one rotted section. At this point, I don't want to go with carpeting as it came from the factory. The boat is used mostly for tubing w/ the kids + a little fishing. In searching through old...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration Even going with poured blocks, couldn't you stuff them into plastic bags to gain some protection from becoming waterlogged?

    115 Johnson Fast Strike Motor question

    Ok, there's a boat I am interested in (17' Crestliner) that has a non-running 115 Johnson Fast Strike. Is this an engine with known issues or one worth considering fixing up? I don't have any details yet but will follow up with the seller unless the verdict is to stay away. Thanks!

    1990 a bad year?

    Ok, I have been searching for a 16 - 18 foot O/B aluminum boat (most likely Starcraft) for (mostly) fun and fishing. Two questions come to mind in looking at a 16 foot bow rider from 1990 (not sure what model) First, given the financial problems with the company back then did boats of that era...
