    12volt not working

    If it is like my gang switch, there is an inline fuse. You might want to check for that.

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Hey Shoe, I used 1/2 " marine grade plywood with two coats of West System on the top and bottom, with 4 coats along the edges. So far no issues with any twisting, with the West System and vinyl covering I don't suspect there will be any issues. I used piano hinges and latches to secure the...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    During my rebuild I was thinking the same thing. The issue is with the hing in the window, it is sagging. While my neighbor and I were examining the sag in the door, to my horror, my neighbor Gordie grab the door at the open end, and heaved up on it. That actually bent it back into shape, and...

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Hello Gents, The launch of the boat took place last weekend. If you told me that I would be launching the boat in October I would have told you that you were crazy, however that is what happened. The weather was surprising warm and sunny most of the four days we were at the lake. Here are the...

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Thanks Moserkr. I plan on finishing the lower end next year. I am hoping to post my splash pictures soon from last weekend. For some reason my computer does not want to talk to my phone, so I am having issues downloading my images. Hopefully I can get it sorted out soon.

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Hey Classic, You were right, the thermostat was seized, and the poppets were also a little gummed up. We were able to get them sorted out prior to the launch last weekend. When I say we, what I really mean is my neighbor Gordie. Your keen eye is greatly appreciated!

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Hey Boys! Quick update. I got my decals last weekend and got them install, I think they look great. We now have the motor install on the boat. Once we had it all wired up and ready to go, we had to stop because we found a fuel leak. Gordie (my neighbor) zeroed it down to the fuel lines...

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Hey Gents, About two months later and I got my lower end back. As it turns out, no leaks, the guy tested it at double the pressure it normally runs at and no issues. The only thing that had to happen was the replacement of the impeller. While disappointing it took so long to figure that out...

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Thanks SHSU, and now I just need to get the lower end. I am thinking that I might get the outboard mounted on the boat this Thursday, but I may delay that decision until after the long weekend.

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    It's been a couple of weeks with some progress made. The trailer is done and the boat is on the trailer. Sadly I will not see my lower end until the end of next week. So much for a launch during the long weekend. Some pics: I ordered some boat guides for the boat, seen attached...

    1979 Starcraft Super Sport 16

    I second Moserkr! Best wat to do this is to find posts similar to your own and create your own ideas on how you would like to see your boat finished. I am just finishing up a 1974 SS16. you can check the link.

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Okay painted motor pictures! I decided to paint the motor Metallic Maui Ocean Blue, to match the trim on the boat. I am also ordering Evinrude decals in Sapphire Blue to match the boat. I'm thinking it will look pretty cool once the motor is back on the boat. I just finished painting today...

    1974 Starcraft SS16 Restortation

    Some updates: The trailer is pretty much complete. I am still waiting for the bunk brackets. Hopefully those will be in next week. I picked up some fir boards for the bunks. I am going with 2 X 6 X 8 for the centers, and 2 X 4 X 8 for the outer bunks. I also have post guides on order, and...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Hey DW, Looks like I am late to the party on this post, welcome to the team! That is a great looking boat. She will look excellent when you are done. You're making great progress for a couple of months of work under your belt. The stripping of the old paint and contact cement is the worst...
