Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Well, spent most of the morning boxing up gear that will end up on Starcraft boats from all four corners of the country. Your stuff in on the way guys

This shot is for Jerry...

I am quite happy with these seats. Not nearly as high end as my others but I do think more appropriate for my rig.

Well did ya sit in em? They comfy? Would there plenty of room in there for my wide beam? I like the seats but I think that I would get the ones that don't have the pedestals as I am thinking of building boxes so that I have a little more storage. But you know how that goes, may change my mind between now and then as well.

BTW, very nice seats.

Yah, they are nice, I like em! Seat is nice and firm and I really like that the frame will never rot out on me. The white vinyl will get dirty but that is what the magic easier is for. I am about 180ish (depending on the day) and it fits me very well. I have some space on each side of my hips, maybe 1-2", but it is still trim enough to hold me in during rough seas.

Yah, mine are going on seat boxes too. I bought these as they came as a package deal with seat slides, which is what I really needed. Pedestles will go on another project or be sold.

Cheers!

Very cool seats Jason. Literally. Although it can (and with your littlies, will) get grubby, white is, IMO, the best seat colour.

I have grey and black vinyl covered seats and I have to cover them with towels when the sun's out, otherwise my better half complains about heat blisters in unpleasant places!

Also love the clip off cushions and armrest padding, finish boating and unclip, chuck 'em in the cuddy, and no more soggy botties!

bcast, I am only too happy to arrange a meeting between your butt and my seats. Say, oh, during fall salmon season? Maybe a few of the local MI/iboats/Starcraft doods might like to hang out too? I'll even mount those seats to a boat!

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Wow. Sounded like a finish date to me! If not, we can take the big boat, but would have to be on Lk MI.

Oh... by the way... 1 Brown & 2 Lakers out of Sanilac yesterday.

Pre fishing for first tournament has begun! April is jammed with'em! It's time!

Well, I'll try, we'll see. My kitchen renovation has now expanded to kitchen/dining room/living room renovation:facepalm:

So, if everything goes absolutely perfectly (yah right) with the house reno, AND my apartments, AND the Islander rebuild, (plus I am taking some classes this summer) she may be on the water this fall.

The odds are not in my favor.:redface:

White water my friend! I still have about 60% of the ground covered with that stuff! I expect it will all be gone by weeks end though.

Yup, that snow has no chance of survival. We are gonna see the mid 50s this week my friend
(although we are getting some snow accumulation right now actually:facepalm

BTW...you know the routine, if you are heading to Lake Michigan...honk twice when you are passing 127 and I will try to jump in the boat

Also I agree that those seats should last as long as the boat, and they should be easy to clean too
