Good news and a big surprise. They will take my seat pedestals back. I’ll get store credit but immediately purchase 4 plug in seat post packages. I ordered them july of 2020. Going back to the store tomorrow.
This has given me a lot to think about. Maybe i’ll keep the two seat posts i already purchased, install them, and just install two additional 12” plug ins for the back as originally planned.
It would be nice to be able to pull all seats and seat posts, especially the driver seat post in the...
I finished my restoration last year in october. Never had a chance to splash it. i ordered 2 higher end wise seats last beginning of july, and they never came until halloween day. I also purchased 2 springfield seat posts
Well it turns out, my 6’6” is a little tall for a 12” model. I need a 9”...
I’m here. Boat is done. Just didn’t splash it this year. Sitting on the trailer with winter cover on, waiting for early May. Shoulda taken better pics. Didn’t know there’d be a test at the end!
If you replace it with a stainless bow eye and use good quality stainless hardware, you will never need to think about it again.
if you have welded, wether you flip it or not, a few years from now you will be addressing this issue all over again.
Wanted to see if links from imgur finally work here. I LOVE THE NEW FORMAT! A long time needed!! Excellent work to the owners of the site!!

have been away. Since the summer of 2011 basically. Bought a house, sold my Jetstar in 2012 only a month after I bought the house. To this day I have no idea why. I think I assumed I would be overwhelmed with the house and some work it required, so I decided it was best to sell it.
I love the...
I’m about to go look at a new trailer for my supersport. The old one is up for sale on clist. A dealer has a 1200lb yachtclub trailer with bunks(preferred) for $899. Is 1200lb axle enough or do i need A 1500lb axle trailer?
i read here somewhere that the boat alone minus outboard is 700-750...
I’m back after a 9 year hiatus. Sold my 1977 Holiday i fully restored after i bought my first home in 2012. Wish i hadn’t.
picked up a 1976 SS for $850 in January! Sold the 1967 Johnson on it for $200 last week. I plan another full restoration with NEW or like new outboard.

I bought a 1976 Starcraft SS, it came with said outboard. Previous owner bought it to restore and passed after not having time. He never tried to get the engine going. It’s obvious the o/b is in great shape. Original controls and wiring harness with control panel are perfectly intact. Nothing is...
The thread with the pdf the kind user dh4winj79 posted years ago had been closed and the pdf is a dead link..
did anyone save all 6 pages of the document? If so, please post back up, thanks!
I have the above mentioned outboard. Did it have the option for power t&t back then ?
Either way, i really want power t&t so i can trim the boat out on the go. I had my marine shop check it out before i put it on my boat. They said i have an awesome little outboard. They said the compression was...

I got over eager and forgot to replace and fix three missing sold rivets on my 1977 Starcraft Holiday before i started to prime the boat this afternoon. I believe they are 1/8" solid rivets.
I know some of you guys already ordered way to many. I was hoping i could pay you via paypal, or send...
