    Possible Engine Swap/Annoying Questions!!!

    All of you folks here at Iboats were a huge help several years ago when I restored the Liquid Limo, so I'm back needing additional guidance. I'm looking to repower the LL and I've come across this setup-1988 3.7 Liter. Does this pic show a closed coolant system? Is this, generally speaking, a...

    Hitting The Lake

    Well I just got a new battery for the Liquid Limo! My new wife and I will be spending the next couple of weekends readying her for a few days at Lake Anna in early June!!!

    OMG!!!! Talk about scarey......

    So I get a call at work on Thursday from my new live in girlfriend and she says "Clay I tore up your Volkswagon Jetta"! Of course my first response was are you OK? She says she's OK so I ask her what happened. She then says the words no one wants to hear. I ran outside in the driveway and...

    ***Solving the Year/Model Mystery***

    New folks are always contacting me with various Year/Model questions and I see posts all the time like "that bow rail or that stern light only came on the such and such model or year, so I thought I'd start a thread that just lists a few of the items we use to determine what boat you have...

    Bryguymi's Boat

    OK I'm posting this brochure page for a new guy who just picked up what I consider the best looking boat Starcraft made back in the day. Hopefully he'll get his pics loaded sometime soon. I'd love to see this one get restored!! We think it's a 63 Fiesta that's been painted over.

    Just gotta share this!!!!

    Not really Starcraft or boating related, but I've been remiss in my duties as a member of the Starmada, so........... I guess some of you folks know that recently both my professional and personal life has gone in the dumper. My business pretty much took an unexpected nose dive, my wife moved...

    Zinc Chromate vs Zinc Phosphate & Other Etching Primers

    So the question is pretty simple. Could I use Zinc Phosphate in leiu of Zinc Chromate as my etching primer on a bare aluminum hull. The chromate is fairly hard to come by and sometimes the local (160 miles round trip) marine store only has the phosphate. Also, what about your standard...

    A Little Starcraft Forums History

    Well since there’s been talk of how our ranks have grown recently I thought I’d do a little research into the Starcraft Forums. I remember when I first started lurking around here there was very little activity, if you can believe that. Sooo…here’s a few un-official stats (mostly my opinion)...

    Older 110 vs newer 120 Questions

    Well we blew a hole in the block of the Liquid Limo this weekend so we're trying to do a fast swap and get repowered here and I have a couple probably really dumb questions. The original motor is a 1966 110HP Mercruiser. The new motor is possibly (based upon your answers here) a 1981 120 HP...

    Hey Guys!

    Folks. Sorry I haven't been posting or answering PM's for the last few days. I received word Wednesday that my mother was losing her battle with Alzhiemers(sp?) and that I should come immediately. So we were camped out with her until the end yesterday afternoon. There are many things to take...
