    Starcraft's on the Water

    We didnt catch a fish, but enjoying a 70* day with the Admiral's father and my first mate, at 4000' in the mountains in the middle of winter, is a rare treat.

    1976 Starcraft Mariner 21' Layout Changes? (v2)

    Luckily your hull is in good shape. Take the time to check and seal the rivets/seams. Replace the foam, floors, transom, console, and motor. With the right tools and time you could get it done pretty quick. You would have a brand new boat basically for 1/4 of the price of that musky pro v...

    1976 Starcraft Mariner 21' Layout Changes? (v2)

    In your drawing you pretty much penciled out a bass boat design. It should make no difference structurally if you moved the console to the side imo. Pour foam or sheet foam, wood or aluminum built, biggest question is a new motor if your old one is dead. New boats are $$$, new motors $$...

    1976 Montego 16- The "Free" Puppy

    For a glasser Starcraft, thats probably the coolest one to own! Yours is very clean and still shines. Will be a fun project!

    Hunting - tips for old beat up guys like me ;)

    Side by side for travel and hauling gear. Walk a little ways from where you park, sit down, and shut up. Thats how every old guy I know hunts and it works on everything from deer to elk. Grandpa shot his first (spike) elk with a crossbow on public land at 53 yards, 400 feet from the sxs, at...

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    My bow pedestal used nuts n bolts so no t-nuts. The captains chairs used t-nuts though. Both will work with either wood or AL backing it. I was going to velcro the bow seating down on top of the deck but surprisingly did not need to. Has stayed in place even at freeway speeds! Im in the...

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    Great time to do some winter work on pieces of the boat that can be installed later. I got lucky the year of my resto and worked through the winter outside!! Only 6" of snow that year vs 20 FEET last year haha. I did the 3/4" ply with a casting deck, with a 1/8" AL backing plate for the...

    You're welcome Joe. Was fun just now looking back through my build for that info. Page 13, post #254 of my thread is where I started the wipe down and painting process it looks like. Plastic spray bottle, 50/50 vinegar water mix is what I used. Just spray and wipe clean with a dry cloth...

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    I painted the interior of my boat where metal was visible. Topside paint, primer, cleaned the aluminum with a vinegar mix if I remember correctly. Paint adhered very well using mainly a roller and brush. It would look even better with a spray gun, but only my FIL who is a professional...

    Are All Boats Repairable?

    If the few holes are the only corrosion, then it's fixable. I would wager that theres a lot of corrosion that is unseen, and its probably hiding underneath the bed liner/ribs. Just the work to remove the bed liner to find out would make me walk. Id try the flashlight at night, or put a little...

    Are All Boats Repairable?

    If theres a bed liner inside the hull, it can trap salt water. Keep that in mind, the corrosion could be worse as you peel that up. They put it there to stop leaks and made their problem worse in the end. Finding a hull that isnt full of holes can be done for minimal cost and effort. Id be...
