    1977 StarCraft 18' Super Sport Needs Rehab [SPLASHED 2017]

    I think posting on this group makes me smarter by osmosis. It was the inline fuse. The 5/8 inch 20 amp fuse was blown. Engine now turns over and tilt / trim work perfectly. I will be carrying around a few of these from now on. By the way, those fuses are hard as hell to remove with out...

    After a lot of work and some time out on the water, the boat has been put away. I will only claim the two aluminum boats in this photo.

    The boat has been in the water a few times this late summer. After having the boat take up space in the garage all summer, the Admiral had to crack a smile her first time behind the wheel. My girls and their friends are loving it. Makes it all worth while.

    How to get a Watercraft / Boat Title in Indiana

    Here is the process I went through to obtain a Watercraft Title in the State of Indiana as an out of state resident. Let me start off by saying what everyone should know, when possible make sure the boat you buy has a title. If the boat does not have a title, have the current owner apply for...

    1977 StarCraft 18' Super Sport Needs Rehab [SPLASHED 2017]

    I had another test trial on the Chicago River today. I am proud to announce I only had about a cup or two of water after 4 hours on the water. Better than my multiple gallons last trip. Since my last launch I replaced 3 rivets and sealed a few areas with 5200. The engine started up no...

    I filled up the bottom of the boat with water tonight to find out where I was taking in water. I found a few rivets I need to replace but nothing major. As I was putting in the plug I notice a missing rivet that was never reinstalled between the splash well drain and the bottom of the transom...

    1977 StarCraft 18' Super Sport Needs Rehab [SPLASHED 2017]

    Here it is. My SPLASH. It was not pretty, still is not pretty, but I guess it counts. I prepped the boat enough to take it out on the Chicago River and there is still a lot to do but I didn't want to wait any longer. What was pretty cool about this launch is that I was the Project Manager for...

    I am putting back the steering wheel and I didn't take photos when I took it apart. So far I have put it on incorrect two times. Does the angled plastic spacer go first, then the round metal part, then the steering column shaft? Attached is the image. Thanks

    Getting ready to order my electronics and wiring. This is going to be the diagram I will use as a template. I plan on running everything through the switch panel and the bilge will also be by itself. I found the diagram on a previous post, it really makes it easy for people who don't know a...

    VRO Removal - 1985 Evinrude 110Is this the correct wire?

    Hello, Did I disconnect the correct wire bundle in order to remove the VRO on my 1985 Evinrude 115? The group had 4 wires. The videos I watch disconnected two wires was that because they were two cylinder? I also removed the other connections related to the VRO. Thanks, Bob

    Lots of work needed on this one but the price of $150 makes it tempting. I will be in the area Saturday if anyone needs a closer look. https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/boa/6127545644.html

    1977 StarCraft 18' Super Sport Needs Rehab [SPLASHED 2017]

    I am looking to raise my consoles to make them align better because I used thicker plywood for the deck. I know people have recommended raising the consoles along the gunnel and drilling new holes. When you do this, do you have to run the new screws from the hull side into the interior? It...

    1977 StarCraft 18' Super Sport Needs Rehab [SPLASHED 2017]

    I towed the boat from it's palatial surroundings at the farm to my tight fitting two car garage in Chicago. The Admiral stated very clearly who's car would be parking on the street. I already miss all the room but now I can work on it more than once a month. I ordered my gas tank and fit it...

    I was able to install the Evinrude 115 today. I filled in a few old mounting holes under the transom board with 5200 and used the other holes to affix the transom saver. I filled in a few old holes not covered by the board with 5200 but I don't like how it looks so I will come back with...

    Now that it is fall I thought I would get to working on the boat when boating season is nearly over. These are a few items I addressed today. 1. Pulled the 1985 Evinrude 115 hp engine off the donor boat with help from my uncle. Anyone want a free stripped down 1975 Crestliner with no trailer or...

    1977 StarCraft 18' Super Sport Needs Rehab [SPLASHED 2017]

    No Title After my summer hiatus it looks like I will be working on the boat again soon. I don't particularly like the way the 18 gallon flat fuel tanks sits in the boat and blocks access to the bilge. Has anyone ever used the 21 gallon tank from Moeller? It seems like it would make the most...
