    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Would it cause problems or is it just not required? Not sure if it was the PO or the factory but there is a sealant bead along the how seams right now.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Back from vacation yesterday, it was nice to see all my family and their little ones but I am always happy to be home. Got the last 12 rivets in on the front seat braces, and did a leak test. I strapped the hull to the trailer in the hopes that the trailer weight would get it farther under...

    New Journey

    The "Tinyboat Nation" folks with jon and flat bottom boats love using aluminum for the floor, but they must be shelling out an arm and a leg for it.

    Help! Looking for info on my boat-which model is this?

    Do you happen to have a side picture? The first pic didn't load. I don't have the 1976 one, but the 1975 brochure has a 22' I/O Holiday, does this resemble yours?

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Finally some riveting success! Got my gf's son to help me today and managed to get all 12 chine braces riveted on, and I also got all floor cross braces notched out and riveted to the ribs and stringers. Only a few more rivets in the front left seat braces and then a couple randoms and this...

    New Journey

    Looking good, that's a hefty plate on the transom! Great to see the smiles on the young ones, that's really the point of all of this :)

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I finished putting the OTF on the transom, it took 4 coats on the first side and 3 on the second side, the edges and holes got a total of 7 coats. Now I have to wait a week or two for that to dry/cure and then I can put on the 3 coats of spar varnish. I also managed to get my nephew to help and...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Continued plugging away at random items while I wait for riveting help. I did manage to rivet on the patch at the top left corner where it was split by myself, but left handed gun action meant I got a few smiley faces on the rivet heads. Not a big deal, it should be plenty strong. Once that...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I would have to remove the knee brace for this, right? Not sure if the bucking bar would fit while it's still on the hull?

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Still trying to firm up a riveting partner (my buddy might be available during my vacation time next week), but I did manage to capture my gf's daughters boyfriend into helping for an hour last night and we got one of the patches on. Went fairly seamless and I'm feeling pretty good about the...

    Do you know the length? Anyway, I think it is a mid 80s Contemporary Sport Series, here is a pic from the 1985 brochure. The top left photo has the same graphics and the windshield brace looks similar as well. I don't have the 1981-1984 or 1986 brochures, but by 1987 that series had a very...

    Was there a year on the title or capacity plate? I have a lot of the old brochures and may be able to narrow it down if we have an approximate age.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Was a bit under the weather when I woke up yesterday so I took a rebuild break and watched Season 5 of Drive to Survive while eating homemade chicken soup courtesy of my wonderful Admiral. I was feeling much better by the evening, so today I spent some time cleaning off the stringers. My...

    StarCraft kingfisher rebuild

    I don't imagine .5" will matter too much, but I'm no expert. For reference my 90hp Yamaha has only 4 motor bolts, so I imagine you would be ok with 6 and no clamp.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Poked away during the week, and I managed to get the transom skin cut down on the starboard side to match the PO hack job on the port side. After that I got the transom cut down to match, sanded, and drilled. There was a little bit of tear-out when drilling, but it should be fine with the...

    New to me 82 160 fishmaster?

    If it is a 1982 then I agree with roscoe that it is a Holiday, here are photos from the 82 brochure: FM160: HL160:

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Unfortunately my riveting partner fell through last weekend, so the search continues! In the meantime I decided to keep picking away at other items, so I fabbed up a motor pad out of 1/4" aluminum and got the transom rough cut and glued. The motor pad took a long time to cut with my cheap jig...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Did you end up with any spacing issues from the plate on the inside? That was going to be my first plan but even if I use 1/16 sheet there will be small gap between the transom wood and transom aluminum wherever the new plate doesn't cover. Given the price of aluminum I can't really justify a...
