Yeehaaaaa!

One thing's for sure. If you're not a boat mechanic when you start one of these restos, you sure as heck will be by the time you're done!

Enjoy the day Kev!!!!!!!!

Nice work, now go fishing before something else can go wrong

Glad it was free to fix, minus whatever your time and frustration come out to per hour

Re: my 68 Starcraft Holiday project

Thanks to all of you crazy bass-turds..lol
Had a great day..She steered great..I took some vids of some tight turns to prove I fixed her!
Vids are loading to my PB account..Diane taped a fly by of me that I love, also cool was the fact that some guys were coming in at the dock and had a sweet 16 ft SS!! It was Starcraft day today!
Got some nice compliments while at the gas station filling up..
She ran really REALLY well..jumped up on plane and hit 30 mph before Diane got nervous..But in all honesty hitting WOT the first day on the water in 8 months prob isnt smart!
I did have throttle left when I hit 30...so I need to get out by myself and open her up after I change the oil & filter this weekend..
Since the vids are tying up PB..heres a small pic of a little back area off the river were we fished, and saw another gator today..those things FREAK Diane out..lol

Re: my 68 Starcraft Holiday project

Very happy for you Kev. You deserved a good day on the water. Now how do you feel about pushing her off the trailer and waiting so long to splash her again? You know you can never count a Starcraft out. Gee, with two running SC boats, you've got a fleet started! You go Admiral Sir!

lol..Thanks FH!
She aint coming off the trailer unless its to go in the water..
I will either find a little trailer for my 14 ftr (Its a Lonestar, btw )
Or sell it to put the $$$ into the Holiday..
I have a LOT to do and even re-do..but very happy she's usable!
I owe each and every one of you a big THANK YOU!

Re: my 68 Starcraft Holiday project

Kev I am extremely happy for you. Use it as much as you can! Was Diane happy?

Re: my 68 Starcraft Holiday project

You guys are all great!
Heres a vid..PB is really slow uploading..maybe its the HD format from the phone that drags it down...
Heres my pass on the dock..Diane used my phone..No ZOOM on the camcorder..I suggested she use the actual vid camera, well ya know..




Note the 16 ft SS at the dock..I gave them a bit of a wake and felt like an a-hole...

Re: my 68 Starcraft Holiday project

I'm so happy for you. It's been a long road and a long wait to see her run that good. Congrats for the awesome ride. She looks real nice in the water.

Hey Kev,
Congrats on the great day. Glad you got her working.
One question, Did you ever find the wrench?
It's great to see you enjoying the boat.
Take care and have fun.
