Yes Jason I might try calling starcraft for the paint code, when I talked to our local starcraft dealer about paint he suggested I take it to a paint shop and get a match, I forgot to ask him about a paint code for that year, I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks all, she's looking pretty much like my last 3 restores, but I like the grey scheme.

Really looking good John! Excellent choice on the 2tone seats...

Looks like you'll be able to squeak this one in to the SOTY nominations too

Ok now John. There is the finishing touch. The pic with the seat turned a bit and the column with those Bad-A guages is freakin great man. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again... you have done an outstanding job on your boat man. I can only truly hope mine will look to flow even half as well. If so I will be a happy man.
If I may... I think you should post some more pics now of the vessel as a whole. Not that I know your intentions, but I'm afraid we are soon going to see your thread drawing near end. At least untill spash time anyway. I guess that's both a good thing and a sad one too!
And again. Great dang job!:joyous:

Nice job! what did you build those side access doors out of? Is it plywood or aluminum?

Re: 2000 Starcraft Starfire 1900 refurbish

Thanks JB their cabellas seats, hey sub the side access doors are aluminum used the original doors but had to modify them a bit cause I changed the side panel design from what originally was, you can see what they looked like in the beginning of my thread. Thanks very much Jason the boat is in my garage right now not sure if I'm going to bring it out this winter there's a foot of snow out there, I might though to install the bimini top it's to high to put it up in my garage, but I'll need a nice day to do that I'm not going to change the outside hull in any way so what you see in the pics at the beginning of my thread is basically what it'll look like.

Fabricated aluminum cup holder covered with carpet installed SS cup holders, installed 6 rod holders, not sure where to mount SS 3 rod holder.

Re: 2000 Starcraft Starfire 1900 refurbish

Kind of copied Lunds idea

Re: 2000 Starcraft Starfire 1900 refurbish

Once again - Outstanding work!

 

[jbcurt00]

Re: 2000 Starcraft Starfire 1900 refurbish

Lund stuff on an SC, no way.........

Well, maybe just this once since ya done such a nice job:

It all looks factory. Better even. Continued nice work.

If ya just stand out on the driveway &splash a bucket of water over the bow, that counts right? And, no Glen, you don't get to vote in this particular poll

Gonna be a tough call this year for SOTY.... Better hurry bud, time is getting short...

Re: 2000 Starcraft Starfire 1900 refurbish

Hey John. Is the three rod holder a verticle or horizontal style? If it's a horizontal, you could mount it on the forward edge of your stern area casting deck. Off to one side or the other of your cool cup holder pedestal. You could even mount one on both sides if you wanted to. Then you could have poles crazy of every kind. Just a thought from my over-engineering point of view.
Oh yeah, I just thought of something though. Would that interfere with your top?

Totally awesome man!:thumb:

Re: 2000 Starcraft Starfire 1900 refurbish

Thanks again guys, Maryhannaj the SS rod holder I have can be seen on the left side of the bow pic, I think you might be right have to figure out where to mount it so it won't interfere with the bimini top when I put it on, thanks for the heads up.

Re: 2000 Starcraft Starfire 1900 refurbish

Fabricated a couple of SS cup holder brackets in the bow, don't want anyone to have an excuse to spill anything on my nice new carpet.
