    1971 Starcraft Falcon Capacity Plate

    Hi folks, need a little help with the 14 foot Falcon. I had found my capacity plate and registration number but after much scrubbing and cleaning of old paint the only thing left is the registration number which was embossed into the plate. Could anyone post the other required numbers for this...

    Stringer replacement - Weep Holes

    Limber holes strategically placed are a good idea to stop pooling that will create rot.

    Help Identifying This Evinrude?

    @RCO, thanks, Depending on site I was finding from 93 to 96. Just found a thread here indicating ‘96 (from 2014). The differing configurations make my head hurt! Thanks again.

    Trying to determine the year, but I just can’t make sense of it based on a search. A little help, please?

    14' SC Rebuild

    LOL, state or make a deadline and watch Murphy join the party! Weather went nasty here, but I’m not complaining,it has been very dry here and we certainly need the rain. I got the gunnels etched, sanded, primed and painted. The old fenders from this trailer were pressed into service for the...

    14' SC Rebuild

    One more eyesore removed from the to-do list. Spent the afternoon sanding, cleaning, and priming a very small trailer I am modding for kayak trips. Weather permitting, I will work on the gunnels, carpeting, and hatches tomorrow. On a five day countdown, would really like to get this boat wet...

    14' SC Rebuild

    Mocking up old Bimini to see how it might look. Too tall and still too wide for this boat. By the time I finish modding this one. I could have a new, fitted one in place for less money and trouble. So long old friend!

    14' SC Rebuild

    That will be as far back as I take the diamond stamp. The rest will have marine carpet along with the inside side and storage areas. The deck will have anti-fatigue mat. The diamond will be painted with some kind of anti skid coating.

    14' SC Rebuild

    Well that went better than I thought it would. Until it didn’t, lol! Measured the Bimini width against the boat and had to cut 14.5” out of the Bimini frame. As you can see it fits, but the right side sits up a bit higher than the left side. When I started to open it, I realized that I had two...

    14' SC Rebuild

    As I continue the final issues, I’m starting to think about the Bimini top and sizing it for this boat. It came off a 17’ center console and the 6’ length may seem oversized for a 14 footer. I’d appreciate any thoughts on that? Thanks

    14' SC Rebuild

    Lol, I had a serious session with mallet and wooden rod! The position of the crease made it impossible to get at with the mallet so I cut a 1-1/4” wood dowel to 2’ length, rounded the boat contact end and started swinging. But, better than it was, I guess!

    14' SC Rebuild

    On the left side of the picture you can see where the tree creased the bow. There was a 3” dip at the rubrail that I was able to pull out with a 2’ long piece of angle iron through-bolted and tightened. You can still see some crease under the rubrail, but it came out much better than I thought...

    Was’t as onerous as I imagined. Now have to wait until the sun gets off everything and pick back up in a couple hours.

    14' SC Rebuild

    The old carpet on the gunnels covered literally more than a hundred holes in the tin. Diamond alum will cover those in the bow area where there were just too many. Need to make a pattern to get the fit right on the first try.
