The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I used to be a very active member of this forum but can't remember if we are allowed to post our boats for sale. Can someone answer that question for me? I do not want to be out of line as you guys were a great help to me.
I learned a valuable lesson today and wanted to share with all of you guys. If you are going to use Toggler bolts for mounting your seats do not I repeat do not put noodles directly under where you are going to mount your seats! When my buddy and I drilled the holes for the Togglers and pushed...
I have an 85 Horse Johnson, 1978 model that I just installed on my Starcraft and I cannot get the tach to work. The tach is an older Aquameter and it only has two wires coming from it, one Gray and one Black. The harness coming from the controller has three wires in it Gray, Black and Purple. I...
Just finished all the connections, fresh gas and put the muffs on. It cranked for about 6 seconds and fired right up!:) Adjusted the idle and am glad I ordered a water pump kit as it was barely peeing. Shut it down and now back to the cave. I will post pics later, I have completed a lot but with...
I have a 1978 85 Horse Johnson and a 1979 Johnson control box. The control cables are shot and they were off the 79 and I need to order new ones. Everything I read says that they have different ends 78 and older vs 79 and newer. I looks like the only difference is on the control box end in all...
I want to install a 4 way valve for my three fuel tanks and I can only find 1/4 inch valves. All my lines are 3/8 inch, will using this size valve cause me any problems?
Thanks,
Darren
Okay this is for all you guys out there who have replaced the vinyl trim in the small rub rails on the sides of the older Starcrafts. What size do I need to order? It doesn't have to be the original square insert just something that fills the void and won't fall out.

Question about marine vinyl flooring glue, what as everyone else used? On my last two carpet installs on bass boats I used contact cement and it worked great. The longer it is on the tougher it gets and it is waterproof, but I do not know if it will work with the vinyl. I have tried the trowel...
Thanks to HA I just bought 96 noodles for 107.00 and am picking them up at our local Dollar Tree. If you go to their website you can order by the case and have them sent to the store. There gonna be here Wednesday. Just an update on my SS, the gluvit is down and all the decking was cut today...
OK after finally figuring out how to post pics from Photobucket I started my rebuild thread. Now how do I get to attach to my posts on here?
She is now gutted and the new transom is cut.
Gluvit an epoxy ordered, start cleaning this week.
I am hoping to be able to stop by Anna for at least...
OK, here we go, I am still trying to get the hang of postings pics, so be patient. I have got her gutted and am going to powerwash this week. I have ordered the Gluvit and the Epoxy, should be here this week. A buddy happened to have a leftover 15 ply laminated beam so we cut the transom out...
In the past three weeks I have read almost all the restoration threads on here and you guys are awesome! I went today and picked up my very own
16SS. I am not sure of the year, but it is on a newer galvanized trailer and has a 1979 85 Johnny TnT on it. The motor does not run, but already have...
I have the chance to purchase a 72 SS 16 on a galvanized trailer. Boat has been gutted to the bare hull, but owner saved all the old wood for patterns. The hull has no dents and the paint is not even really scratched. Trailer is in excellent shape and good tires. It has a early 70's 85 horse...
