    Rivets?

    Hopefully this isn't against the rules... I know there are some Starcraft guys in the fine state of MI. My question is do any of you guys have the tools and ability to install solid rivets? Do you know of someone who does? I want to remove my trim channel on the side of the boat, and then...

    Jet/Jet Star questions.

    I'm currently working on a project, but 'might' look into getting another boat when this one is done. I'm curious, how shallow of water is a Jet/Jet Star capable of going through?

    Just a question.

    Why don't more of you remove the bow railing on the smaller boats.16-18ft boats. Like on the SS. It seems like there would be no convenience and only inconvenience especially when docking, launching at ramp, beaching etc.

    While everyone is removing VRO, I'd like to add a VRO setup to a much earlier engine. A 73 65 hp Johnson. Has anyone done this? In the meantime I'm going to search how exactly it works, and other sites for similar info. Thanks in advance.
