Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Oh, and yah I am in fact wearing friendship bracelets in that photo up there since I know you were thinking I am a big flake!

Hard to be a tough guy when the daughter bear says...

"Here daddy, I made these just for you!"

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

I noticed the friendship bracelets right off, being the dad of a couple of gals myself! Thought it was a subliminal thang for your feller Starcrafters!

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

BAH..... forget the kitchen Jas (they are overrated anyway). Thats why they invented microwaves and paper plates . Its summer anyway, you can say to the bride "Can we grill this"? (at least thats how mine gets me to do the cooking)...lol. I have quite a few shirts that have handprints and say "Superdad" and "Worlds greatest Dad" from my boys.... good times. When they grow up bracelets and shirts like that will sadly become a rare commodity.

O BTW, those side steps are uber cool.

kitchen, you dont need no stinking kitchen.
I have lived in my house for about 1.5 years without a kitchen.
granted I am not married and I dont have any children.

but after 1.5 years I can say its close to being completed. I hooked up the sink last night running water
in a kitchen.. what a novel idea.. almost as novel at having something to cook with other than a microwave

Nice Jas, I didn't see if you mentioned it but where did you get the step pads? All fathers get a pass when it comes to daughters,,,nothing uncool about making them happy.

Hope you are having a good time preparing to install that 4.3

Just wanted to swing thru and let you know that these bow cushions are available...and priced reasonably, in case you need an extra set to match your bracelet. (j/k)

They would also go well with your flotation, bummer that you didn't plexiglass the deck

Doods, you said that kinda loud. Careful guys, my wife hears ya, she'll beat the stuffing right out of ya!

Yah, I love that little girl and I am scared to death that she is getting older

That step pad is actually a Berts Track, the bombdiggity!

Check it out...

The bonus is that it'll cover up a bunch of swiss cheese (holes) on my gunwales, like it.

Bert's Tracks and Starcraft Boats, like peas and carrots.

Holy smoke those are absolutely heanus - I wonder what the actual boat looked like

Well Triton you made me Google that word...never saw (or heard) that one before...and I'm OLD!:facepalm:

Wikipedia: "Gazumping is a term used in the UK and Australia when a seller (especially of property) accepts a verbal offer from one potential buyer, but then accepts a higher offer from someone else. It can also refer to the seller raising the asking price at the last minute, after previously verbally agreeing to a lower one. In either case, the original buyer is left in the lurch, and either has to offer a higher price or lose the purchase."

Thanks, it's now in my repertoire.

BTW Jas....she's looking great!

Thanks fellas!

OK, goal for the day - balance of the railing sanded down and looking good. Gazumped some Sharkhide off eBay and it should be here by Saturdayish. Also, sand down all the JB Weld spots topside. I think I can pull it off.

Oh yeah? Well guess what we were doing last night......same thing we did last week.... TOWING AN I/O!

(although last night we used Tim's boat so it was really an I/O towing another I/O )

I have to keep my outboard ugly otherwise some dumb I/O owner attracted by shiny objects would steal it!

Re: 1976 22' Starcraft Islander Rebuild

Yur still a punk...

But to answer your question (that I actually agree with)...

So when's the next non-boring step?

I hope to have the tarp pulled off the Merc this weekend. Though, I have a feeling the whole install process will be so slow that will be pretty darn boring too

You completely out of your element wrenching on mechanical stuff will never be boring (same here though)

I'd guess that she looked just like Thumper the Baja, only with a cuddy

BTW are you gonna run that SS prop? Great idea to have an aluminum as well, maybe different pitch for tubing/skiing?

The Bert's tracks are a local Michigan thing, but anyone who trolls with downriggers or planer boards would love em
