Re: 18' Starcraft SuperSport restoration
Got some good work done on the boat today. The helm is now installed and the bucket seats are bolted down.
First I screwed in the dash backer boards. I recessed the holes a little bit before I sunk the screws in so they would fit flush. I had a bunch of these white painted screws and I think they were from a screen door kit or something and I believe they won't rust. If I'm wrong, oh well. They'll be under the StarBoard panels. My dad cut these panels to shape and routed them out so they'd recess out a bit and be somewhat flush with the metal console.
Helm installed:
I decided to just use 5200 behind the StarBoard panels. I know it won't stick long term but they will be held in place by the helm, gauges and various accessories.
My wheel is a LITTLE bit off center but not noticeably so when your sitting there. I didn't want to move the seats any further center
Seats installed. They have sliding pedestals which is why they aren't aligned in this picture. The bases are aligned.
The swivel isn't the greatest because with how reclined those seats are, there just isn't room for them to spin all the way around. However, there is enough room for them to almost face backward which could provide another place to sit and fish should the need arise. Works for me.

They look real comfy.
