    Mercury Optimax - What is this?

    I bought a used 2002 150 Optimax and I'm not sure where this tube is supposed to go. It hooks up to the lower sender on the back of the motor.

    1990 Crestliner Phantom SST 180

    I bought a 1990 Crestliner SST a few weeks ago real cheap. Hull is straight, no dents, but paint is in poor shape. The interior is trashed so it will be a complete gut job. I am planning on replacing all the foam and every piece of wood in it. The Crestliners are fully welded so no...

    Crestliner SST transom - anyone ever replaced?

    Just bought a 1990 18ft Crestliner Phantom with the SST (extended transom). The entire interior and floor needs replacing so I am guessing the transom might be bad as well. Has anyone ever replaced theirs? I haven't study it very closely yet, so I'm not sure how it is even all put together. I...

    Starcraft SS160 resto

    Re: Starcraft SS160 resto There are 2 things I really dislike about this boat. First is the huge space wasting splash well. I?ve got a plan to shorten up the splash well a bit and gain some more space with a new alum bulkhead. The original one needs replacing anyhow. The second thing is the...

    1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration

    Re: 1979 22' Starcraft SuperSport V5 Restoration How hard is it working with the contact cement? If the two surfaces touch is there any forgiveness? Seems scary to do anything other than small pieces.

    Starcraft SS160 resto

    Re: Starcraft SS160 resto Ordered up some hinges as I sit thinking about my bow setup. I will leave just enough room up front so I can put an igloo cooler there when fishing to act as a livewell and to fill in area so the bow turns into more of a full casting deck.

    Mercury 1989 90hp Power Tilt Leaks Down

    My dad was going to give me his 90hp motor to put on my boat this winter. Unfortunately this boat was just rear-end as he was driving back from the lake the other day and did some damage to this motor. The power tilt seems to work fine, but very slowly leaks down if the motor is left tilted...

    Starcraft Rear-Ended

    My dad got re-ended pulling his boat home from the lake a couple days ago. 1988 18' StarCraft SFM. He was sitting at the stop light and a girl (probably texting) ran into him. He finally got everything running perfect and ran down to the lake to test it before a planned fishing trip to the...

    Starcraft SS160 resto

    Re: Starcraft SS160 resto Kind of got sidetracked the past few days with family stuff, football and bad weather. I did get the transom out, all the snaps/plates/accessories off the gunwales and pressure washed the interior. I'll post some more pics tomorrow. I picked up 4 of these at on sale...

    Starcraft SS160 resto

    How original - a starcraft resto. Got a good deal on it off craigslist. It was by some little town in MN. The boat hasn't been used in at least 7 years. Last licenced in 2001. It has a 79 Johnson 70hp that supposedly ran when last used, we'll see. I plan on following the FAQ for awaking a...
