Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

That thing is so ridiculously awesome that if I was even remotely considering EVER possibly being in the market for that type of boat (as we know our friend Mike is) I would beg, borrow, steal whatever I had to do to bring that thing home. Seriously.

That's like the equivalent of if when Mike was looking for his SS a 16' had showed up with an Evinrude 70 on it with tilt and trim with a nice interior set up for fishing for $1500.

Does not having the titles screw things up in MI?

If he is the legit owner no problem, just a little paperwork.

That boat will sell for $1500 (or there abouts)

Which, is basically like buying the OB and getting the Chief on a trailer for free

Well, my kitchen renovation project took most of the day yesterday. No aluminum involved there, just drywall. Drywall is a drag.

I did manage to finish up my new tail light housings/step though.

I started with this...

These came off of the old 4Winns now new Jet trailer. It already had two steps on each fender so a third seemed a waste. Besides, the Islander didn't have any!

So, I chopped of an unnecessary chunk, knocked off all the rust, primed, painted...

Bolted on...

I even ran the sand treatment for traction...

I ordered these LED's from WalMart, should be here in a week or so. Best deal I could find at $50...

I am pretty happy with how those turned out.

That looks great Jas, nice rebuild work, seems everything is coming along smartly!!!!!

Thanks Q! Caught your thread update, right back at ya buddy!

BTW I left a message for the guy, no word back yet

We'll be waiting on word with great anticipation

jason do you want your thread back now?

mi casa es su casa buddy!

Besides, all I have going on is epoxy curing. Talking about you snatching up a big ol Chief with an OB for cheap is way more fun!

A kitchen remodel and resto at the same time. You are da man! I'm trying to get my honey do list in order and she already knows that once I get going its full speed ahead.

I like those lights and it seems like a good price too.

Just checked out the price of 3/4 Aauco at Lowe's...$39.95 Ouch!!! 3/4 MG ply is around $90. Hope your getting better pricing in the mid west.

Well, I had landlord duties today. I don't even want to say the job I had to do. I'll say this, I would have rather worked drywall for a week straight than do what I had to today.:facepalm:

Yah, well, it's all going way slow Michael, on all fronts.

Yah, around here I see about $29 for Arauco and About $79 for MG. So, little better anyway.

Cheers guys!

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

OK, little progress, last coat of epoxy on the big backer plates. Also doing some careful measuring/potting/scheming for side panels and flotation. Some other stuff too, not much that is photo worthy. Although, I will give you guys this shot. Here is Ethan giving me a hand on my flotation panels...

Figure you guys who work with your kiddos would appreciate that one.

Have a great weekend!
