Re: 18' Starcraft SuperSport restoration
Despite the cool weather I decided to bring the boat home from winter storage today. It was a bright and sunny day so even though it was a little cold, I was able to get some work done on it. I installed my bimini top and my fish finder transducer and head unit. I didn't get it wired though. I am absolutely THRILLED with my bimini. It is the
perfect size. You can pretty much walk from front to back without ducking, and it lays down perfectly behind the rear seat when not in use. Love it.
Why do these damn things always need new holes? Oh well. At least there isn't wood behind there. I didn't bother sealing them at the moment because I want to make sure the height is right first and that everything is working. I'll later back the screws out a bit and seal them.
Brennan seemed pleased with the progress
As you can see, Easypoxy is great paint
That isn't even the worst part. Not by a long shot. I'm hiding that from you. Tim Fives was with me today for the retrieval and was rather distressed about the condition of my paint job. I've made peace with it. However, at his encouragement, when it gets warmer, I'll roll some more blue over the bad spots and buy some darn fenders.
Fired the motor up and it started quickly and ran well and idled great. There's really nothing I need to do to it prior to being able to go for a ride. (take that I/O guys
)
