[Memphis117]

Fun with the forklift yesterday! Moved the axle back 5 inches, tongue weight too light. I have a friend that is designing and building aluminum 12"x12" pedestals with storage underneath for my seats, hopefully they will be installed this week sometime.

Nice job on the axle move

Seems PB is cooperating today

Aluminum pedestals finally made and assembled!

 

[Memphis117]

Seats installed, so happy I decided to go with the swivel seats instead of the back to backs!

simple, substantial, nice design work.

The Johnson turned over after sitting for a year. Worked over a few ignition kinks, it's perfect!

A new coat of paint, 1988 style Johnson decals, looks brand new!

Oh yeah I'm liking those seat boxes, man what is that 3/8" aluminum and 1/4" blinds to hold em together?

Motor looks great, like you say it looks new once again. Looking great! :thumb:

Here she is!!!








Wow, what a journey!! Every detail was a learning experience, thank you all for this excellent resource, it has been invaluable! She is really beautiful, whenever we go to the lake people want to know her story, we are always happy to tell it!

Wow, outstanding aluminum work! & excellent job on the motor too, it all looks great! Now you can get out & proudly enjoy your efforts, she'll attract some attention for sure.

Looks like you had a great splash day last month, I hope she ran great and it went smooth. It does make you feel good when people at the dock come by to ogle your prized vintage Starcraft. Nice work you guys, she looks super!

Awesome work! Positively stunning. Congrats! :thumb:

 

[Memphis117]

Thanks fellas, she's had a lot of love! The seat boxes are 1/4", really practical.

Outstanding job, she is a real eye catcher. Make sure you are around in December for the SOTY nominations.
