    1978 Islander 22 I/O

    I made an unplanned visit to marketplace and saw this thing hanging out there, one hour away, listed for $650 as a 1972 Starcraft "Trlr Coach"... I quickly got the admirals permission (of course), arranged to go check it out and found a 1978 22' Islander, all the wood rotted out but a perfect...

    1968 StarCraft Holiday restoration

    I'm just now seeing this... There aren't words. That was a fantastic build and a beautiful boat. At least you got to see it complete in all of its glory. When I was close to finishing mine, I remember being so scared that something would happen to it, and I would never get to see what I had...

    I haven't really been on iBoats much in the last year or two, just getting caught up on your build. Outstanding! This is definitely one of the best builds I've seen on here!

    2022 Starcraft Splash of the Year Nomination Thread

    I was asked to post some pictures of my boat, so here's a few. The first one was taken during the interior project. It shows it on the trailer I built during the first phase of my project and the other three are the interior and exterior shots of it. I have two different threads for my build...

    I used Ford's website and built an F150 XLT and a F250 XLT. My trim is doctored up XLT, a step under the Lariat. For me the F250 ended up being cheaper. I advise anybody considering a 1/2 ton to look at the lighter duty, GAS, 3/4-ton trucks. In my case I got a 6.2L versus the 5.0L that comes in...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I ordered from our local dealership. The car salesman said something about the 23s headlights changing. He said they will basically look the same, but something about how they're made is going to make them extremely expensive (for headlights) to replace. I think he said it's basically going to...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Update: The boat ran really good this summer and the interior held up well. I finally ended up getting the truck I ordered last November and I'm really happy with it so far. For what I paid and what the used trucks are going for I have no regrets. It's a light duty F250 XLT with the gas 6.2. I...

    Thanks! I think they did a great job too. Coming along a little more today, just a few loose ends to get wrapped up. I think the trouble to have the custom throttle bezel made was worth it.

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    They're going to start on my side panels this week, so it shouldn't be too much longer, and my boat will be on the water this year. Meanwhile, they finished my custom mat and I tried that out today. It fits great! I need to widen the hole to fit around the hotrod post a little. I think it looks...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    A few months ago I decided I wanted to tinker with an oudrive a little. It's iBoats history from a few pages back in this thread. I bought the boat for $400, removed my drive, scrapped the boat and put some used tires back on the trailer. Today I sold that trailer. I was asking $650, hoping to...

    The vinyl seems to be pretty good quality, and there is a lot of padding but they are firm. They feel like new seats.

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    Thanks! My back-to-back (I think what you're calling sleeper seats) were purchased from Deck-Mate. Then I purchased the matching vinyl from Deck-Mate to have the rear bench built custom. I like my new back-to-back seats. I remember doing a little homework about the vinyl and it's a pretty...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    I reinstalled my new back bench and took it to the shop to have the side panels built. This is the first time I saw the bench installed with the newly covered transom cap. I think it looks sharp. Can't wait to see it with the sides installed. I should get it back in about a month or so. The...

    I think they matched the seams in the for the flooring with the seams for the metal. I'm pretty sure that seam is where the metal comes together too. Then they replaced the rivet as in the pictures.
