Re: New Starcraft to us
Cazman welcome to the forums! It's always nice to see a new Starcraft owner finding THE best location in the world for info, best practices and...well...just to BS about boats and have a few laughs
I think it is VERY cool of you to give your 9-year-old the old rig...I'll bet all his friends will be red with envy when he talks about "his" classic boat restoration.
Even more cool is the fact that you are spending time with him and teaching him that good things come to those who spend hours of hard work in the driveway/garage until the boat makes the grade.
My oldest son will be 4 next friday and he loves helping me sand a little wood here and there and always wants to get his little ladder out so that he can see what I'm tinkering with inside my old tin can
I can't wait for him and his little brother(1 yr) to be able to do a bit more to get involved with my various watercraft projects(canoe, 12' tinny, possible SC from craigslist).
With any luck we will keep Starcraft's on the water for another 100 years, sometimes I imagine getting a 1989 SC Islander in the coming decades and calling it a "classic SC" LOL
Good luck with the project and let us know if you need to ask questions or just rant like Rick does about things the previous owner had done(ask Rick about wooden stringers screwed down from the underside of his hull
)
