    SSOTY Traveling Plaque - So many beautiful boats

    Just wanted to share a pic if this bad boy. I had no idea what it even looked like and figure others are in the same "boat". Cant wait to see who wins this year and gets the honor of seeing this on their wall for the year to come.

    1974 Holiday - Not really sure what the plan is yet.

    For those that don't know, I bought this boat for the hull to rebuild another boat that was destroyed by a tree. After parking it next to my 68 I realized that they do not share the same hull design. Yesterday I finally had some time to get out there and tinker with it. I guess the plan for now...

    What year hulls are the same as the 1968 Holiday 18'?

    TO FOAM OR NOT TO FOAM????? That is the question

    I am currently rebuilding a 1968 StarCraft Holiday and I am debating on foam or no foam. I ran some calculations on the volume and even if I filled the entire below deck cavity with closed cell foam it would not be enough to float the boat. This seems very odd to me because, whats the point? I...

    Whats the difference between 3817 and 3817t connecting rods for a Mercruiser 181???

    I am rebuilding my engine and apparently the connecting rods I have and need to replace are thicker than the typical ones. Does anyone have specs on them. Did the thinner rods just use wider bearings or was the crank and block different all together? I have read a few places that they are all...

    1968 StarCraft Holiday restoration

    Hi all, I'm new on here so still learning my way around. I just picked up this gem after several months of searching. It appears to be mostly all original (from what I can tell anyways). I pulled the motor to disassemble and do good check over. the #4 cylinder picked up some moisture while in...
