    1978 SS 16 restoration

    Make sure to let the 5200 fully cure before you paint it. Guessing you will be using it on the patch. SHSU

    I wish I had the tools/experience to weld aluminum. That would make things easier for repairs. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Looking at it, it almost looks like its to bolt something on to the engine, not to hold the head to the engine. The head takes 10 bolts per Crowley. So as long as you have your 10, I would guess its for an accessory. SHSU

    1978 SS 16 restoration

    Man I see what you mean when you say "crack". Not 100% its a crack, wonder if something really sharp scraped the bottom. In your last picture it looks like the "crack" jumps which doesn't seem natural. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    As long as you have a big enough loop I don't think you should have an issue if your throttle/running cables are to long. You can test how much stiffer they are with and without the loops before install. As for measurement, I did the 2 foot rule. I didn't want to do a loop in the splashwell...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    I put my starting battery within 6 feet of the motor, but sounds like you have planned for the run length is wire size. Just remember wire will get very hot quickly if you are cranking on it for too long. As for all other accessories, I used 14 gauged which was over kill. So your 12 gauged...

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    I see you have the original end caps. Suggest you secure them with bolts and nuts. To many have lost them the rivet fails after a good strike on a dock or such. Once lost, finding replacement would be like looking for a live dinosaur... SHSU

    A metal sheer machine would be the easiest, but I have done both angle grinder and metal saw. Both work. SHSU

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Make sure you predrill your holes so they will be straight. If you try after you install, you can get slightly angled holes that may cause issues down the road. SHSU

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I added King Starboard on top of my bunks. Its very slick. One word of caution though, being so slick you have to make sure you don't change direction quick when the boat isn't tied down.... Almost dropped the boat when trying to put it into the water. lol SHSU

    New here and questions Starcraft SS 16

    Echoing what others have said, just setting expectation at doing a complete rebuild. That way, if you find one that is better, great. If not, then you were already planning for the time/money. I thought our rebuild would be done in 2 - 4 months. 6 months tops.... 2 1/2 years later we...

    1982 Starcraft Center Console 18' Rebuild

    Since you removed the knee bracket, suggest you also add an additional backing plate: Backing plate, hull, Knee bracket. It was suggested to me by @Watermann for extra material to help prevent stress on the hull. SHSU
