    New Journey

    I actually kept the bar that the rollers are on and just bolted the board to the top of that. My transom will be about 18" back from my cross member and I wanted to make sure the 2x4 bunk was supported as far back as possible due to the engine weight. No bunk bracket required and the bunk is...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Due to a pantry makeover project that I started this weekend (and is still ongoing) I haven't gotten too much completed, but I did get the two new patches on from the leaks I found and then did another leak test. With only the bow seam still dripping slowly I was ready to move on, but it turns...

    Roger to both, no 5200. Does Coat-It seep into seams like Gluvit? Coat-it is 30% cheaper and materials on this project are adding up.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Oh, sorry, I think I didn't explain well. I wanted to do 5200 on the outside of the seam where the bow keel plate meets the hull sides (see picture below, there is also something already there like that, not sure if from the factory or a PO), but then use gluvit on the inside of the seam. If I...

    1966 starcraft 18ft holiday restoration

    Wefco makes a rubrail, not sure about a 66 model but a lot of the Starcrafts use profile 101G. http://wefcorubber.com/PDF/marine/Rub-Rail%20Inserts.pdf I think for decals it will have to be new ones.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Would it cause problems or is it just not required? Not sure if it was the PO or the factory but there is a sealant bead along the how seams right now.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Back from vacation yesterday, it was nice to see all my family and their little ones but I am always happy to be home. Got the last 12 rivets in on the front seat braces, and did a leak test. I strapped the hull to the trailer in the hopes that the trailer weight would get it farther under...

    New Journey

    The "Tinyboat Nation" folks with jon and flat bottom boats love using aluminum for the floor, but they must be shelling out an arm and a leg for it.

    Help! Looking for info on my boat-which model is this?

    Do you happen to have a side picture? The first pic didn't load. I don't have the 1976 one, but the 1975 brochure has a 22' I/O Holiday, does this resemble yours?

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Finally some riveting success! Got my gf's son to help me today and managed to get all 12 chine braces riveted on, and I also got all floor cross braces notched out and riveted to the ribs and stringers. Only a few more rivets in the front left seat braces and then a couple randoms and this...

    Looking good, that's a hefty plate on the transom! Great to see the smiles on the young ones, that's really the point of all of this :)

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I finished putting the OTF on the transom, it took 4 coats on the first side and 3 on the second side, the edges and holes got a total of 7 coats. Now I have to wait a week or two for that to dry/cure and then I can put on the 3 coats of spar varnish. I also managed to get my nephew to help and...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Continued plugging away at random items while I wait for riveting help. I did manage to rivet on the patch at the top left corner where it was split by myself, but left handed gun action meant I got a few smiley faces on the rivet heads. Not a big deal, it should be plenty strong. Once that...

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    I would have to remove the knee brace for this, right? Not sure if the bucking bar would fit while it's still on the hull?

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Still trying to firm up a riveting partner (my buddy might be available during my vacation time next week), but I did manage to capture my gf's daughters boyfriend into helping for an hour last night and we got one of the patches on. Went fairly seamless and I'm feeling pretty good about the...

    Congrats, always nice to see a Starcraft return to the water!

    New to me

    Do you know the length? Anyway, I think it is a mid 80s Contemporary Sport Series, here is a pic from the 1985 brochure. The top left photo has the same graphics and the windshield brace looks similar as well. I don't have the 1981-1984 or 1986 brochures, but by 1987 that series had a very...

    New to me

    Was there a year on the title or capacity plate? I have a lot of the old brochures and may be able to narrow it down if we have an approximate age.

    198x SS-150 rebuild

    Was a bit under the weather when I woke up yesterday so I took a rebuild break and watched Season 5 of Drive to Survive while eating homemade chicken soup courtesy of my wonderful Admiral. I was feeling much better by the evening, so today I spent some time cleaning off the stringers. My...
