    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    Finally done with my trailer. I’m quite happy with how it turned out. I had some issues with the electrical that took some time. I finally realized one of my marker lights was putting power to the trailer frame. I left all of the nuts and bolts mostly loose so I can put the boat on the bunks and...

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    Progress to this point looks the same as my previous post however I’ve finished all three coats of paint. I want to give it at least 36 hours to harden before I start putting it back together. My bunks are complete and ready to go on, rollers and lights are ordered. Hopefully in my next post...

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    Tonight I tried my hand at painting with a hvlp gun. I’m sure a pro would say my paint job was god awful, but since it is a trailer I looked at it as practice and I don’t really care if there are runs or orange peel. I’m happy with my first coat. Tomorrow night I will apply a second coat...

The trailer will be put back together. While the boat is off I’ll need to get the trailer weighed so I can get it legal...

    Beginner beginning a complete restoration - Starcraft 18

    The aircraft gun is better than a standard air hammer. The bit you will need for his gun can be found in the sticky. It is called a brazier head and 3/16 I believe is the size you’re looking for.

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    This weekend I was able to get the entire frame sanded and primed. I also replaced all 4 hub races, bearings and seals. I started sanding a few of the parts off the trailer like the fenders. Next weekend I hope to have all of the parts primed and ready for paint. Parts include fenders, winch...

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    My weekend was well spent on the boat trailer. I’ve made a lot of progress on the sanding and priming. Hopefully after next weekend I will be done priming the trailer, but I’ve got all of the parts that I took off the trailer that will need it. I also came to the conclusion that my hubs are...

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    I spent tonight deconstructing my trailer, sanding it down to as close to bare metal as I could and applying a couple coats of primer. This project is going to take me a couple of weeks (maybe months) so I decided to break the trailer up into sections and prime those sections so they didn’t form...

    After watching a few videos this looks like and easy task and plan to repack the bearings and clean them up.

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    I’ve been watching videos on it tonight! Looks easy enough. Now to decide if I want to use bearing buddies or not. I see it can be quite the controversy.

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    Well tonight after work I was able to get the boat off of my trailer and safely on the ground. I hooked a strap to the transom hooks and grabbed the strap with my tractor grapple. From there I slowly pull the trailer out, letting the transom fall onto a tire. I then pulled a little more and...

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    Moserkr, Thank you very much. I am about 1 hour from big water, and it is tough waking up so early to get out their, but well worth the fun. If you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods I’d be happy to take you out! I’ll be using my 15’ Jon until this big one is done. Probably a couple...

    1975 StarCraft Mariner build "The Unicorn"

    I like the build so far. My trailer is in desperate need of attention as well. How did you get your gal off the trailer. My SS is a 22’ and was wondering how to tackle the job. I didn’t know if it would hurt it. I do have a few tires laying around I could use.

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    Man it appears Starcraft really stepped their game up after my model. Yours looks like a V5 though. Thanks for the pointers!
