    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I believe watermann gave the advice of running a magnet along each rib to help clean them out. Cant tell you how much ferrous metal I found that was lodged in there. After that they flushed out quite well.

    Flex Seal on a Leaky Aluminum Boat?

    A previous owner covered the outside hull below waterline with coat-it. Its extremely durable and already UV resistant. I covered it with paint cause it looked ugly. Also sealed my rivets with it inside. I couldnt remove the stuff with paint remover and sand paper on an orbital is the only...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    That all sounds like a good plan. Seal the rivets inside the hull, below waterline, with gluvit or coat-it. Other than that you will never see under the floor boards so painting down there is just unnecessary.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Front section is the bow. Start by getting your new foam and floors in first. To keep the floor from bowing you have to use a backer between the floor sheets, either AL or wood. AL is lighter and stronger. The AL starcraft used though is too thin and will let the floor bow. Then use some LF...

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    One of my favorite parts of the resto - a super clean, bright bare hull. Best way to get a clean, no mess foam cut is a hot wire. I used a jigsaw and made a mess..

    Looks great but man that deck is tall. Not worried about falling overboard? Putting a railing around it or something?

    Leaking at a rivet

    No boat is free and sometimes they are the most expensive. If the floors and transom are good, you could probably fix those leaks pretty quick by taking her apart minimally. Id keep trying to find the leak if you want to use it for the summer before an overhaul. Not great to put water in the...

    Leaking at a rivet

    Thats a lot of water to be taking on. Definitely more than just one or two rivets leaking. Prior to my resto and temporarily taking out bad solids for blinds, I was taking on that amount of water with 40+ bad rivets. My boat had hit a log and one side basically broke half of its rivets due to...

    Bet that cut woke you up quick! Anything into the nail bed does not feel good. Glad that was all.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I fully understand! Before I bought my starcraft I had a 1436 jon boat too! One kid, Admiral, and 2 big dogs - it was way too small and tippy. Your family will enjoy this boat much more when you finish it! Definitely carries a sense of pride cruising in a boat you built vs one that someone...

    Center console project

    I thought about what Id do if I put an offshore bracket on my boat. Answer was a bigger trailer. Then a support for either the bracket and motor or motor alone. Someone who has done this before you will have the answer. But rolling down a bumpy road for a long distance with that hanging way...
