I'll take a chill pill and do very good inspection

Rikki, ask questions about you project here not the Post Pix of you Starcraft topic.

That panel is probably the fore (front) or aft (rear) bulkhead at the below deck gas tank or the bilge.

 

[Rikkie]

jbcurt00,thanks for the replay,I know last owner changed bow so I don't know if it goes up front or knot,and there is not below deck tank,the tank is under splash gard,and I don't know if it stock or not,but thanks for the help

 

[jbcurt00]

Then it was probably the bulkhead at the bow...

 

[Rikkie]

Jbcurt00 thanks agin,Lwonder about the four big rivets sticking out the bulkhead or ware they pulled out of?

I've not seen a panel like that in my boats but it looks to me with the carpet glued to it that it might be an end panel for that ski locker.

I've not seen a panel like that in my boats but it looks to me with the carpet glued to it and in the bottom of the boat that it was an end panel for that ski locker.

I had a piece like that in my SS16. It was for a ski locker. I didn't reinstall since I didn't put a ski locker in.

Rikki, ask questions about you project here not the Post Pix of your Starcraft topic.

Rikkie as noted in my quoted post from a few days ago:
please post questions you have here in your rebuild topic, not the Post Pix of Your Starcraft topic

Lifting boat

I am setting up blocking so I can lift my boat for painting bottom of hull, I am leveling motor on and lifting from tow hooks with engine hoist,it is a 18'starcrarfSS with a Johnson 120hp outboard anyone think I'll have problems

 

[Scott Danforth]

the factory transom hooks are designed to hold 3x the weight of the boat. you shouldn't have a problem

 

[GA_Boater]

the factory transom hooks are designed to hold 3x the weight of the boat. you shouldn't have a problem

Only if the transom is solid.

If you notice, this has been moved into your rebuild thread in the Starcraft section where you should have asked in the first place.

 

[Rikkie]

I'll try to post in the right area I just get confused,but I'll try to rember!!! Thanks for the reply,makes me feel better

 

[Rikkie]

On blocking

When I got trailer moved under bunk there was 8 or10 missing rivets in transom seem,ps I hope I am posting in the right topic

 

[Rikkie]
