Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

Hi guys,
My pride and joy, 86 holiday 180. The PO opened up the bow, did a really nice job of it, they also redid the transom and did a good job of that too. It's got a 115 yamaha v4, it's an 87. I think it's original as the gas tank filler neck is stamped yamaha. I basically gutted it redid the floor added some vinyl floor, and gave it a paint job. I also rebuilt the yamaha as it had a blown piston.
She runs sweet now, I've got some plans for her for next year, pedestals and possibly a transom and splash well alteration, I know I wouldn't alter this gem but the bow is already opened up anyway. I want to be able to mount my new kicker directly on the transom.

Don't feel bad bud!! Not everyone has a dependable outboard like yours!!

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

Hey Barato I agree about that logo and it's gone ordered new ones.

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

a dependable outboard like yours :lol: yup, i depend on it to still be sitting on the appliance dolly when i get home from work each day. hopefully i'll eventually be able to depend on it to chill beer. suspect i'll also be able to depend on it still being on my transom after long term storage in Mexico.....nadie quiere un Krysler

Here is our 1982 SS160

The day we bought her.





In the garage along with our Stratos.


Yes I know the mob may kick me out for the glass boat in the garage. What can I say I have a split personality.:laugh:

With our guard beagle and me out of the cold.

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

Is that duck tape on that captains chair? You should be fine with the split as long as that chair stays out of the starcraft.

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

Little Missy being restored. Almost done.


Here's her on the water

 

[Tnstratofam]

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

Yes that is indeed duck tape on the captains chair, and it goes in the Stratos. No self respecting Tennessee backwoods mechanic would be caught not using duck tape on something they own.
You should see the top on my convertible mustang!:laugh: The Starcraft only gets the good stuff. JB weld and Stainless steel screws.

Here is my new toy, a 1975 Starcraft Holiday 16 with the original Mercury 850 (85 hp).

Spent two days camping out on Lake Mead for the maiden voyage, and all went great.

I bought it off a retired guy in Flagstaff who was the original owner. Still had the receipts and original owner's manuals for the boat and the motor.

I can't wait to get out more. I'll be on Lake Powell for the most part.

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

nice pic! i like the blue boat against the red rock. and welcome to Starmadaland

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

Hi BikeFlag. Your Holiday looks to be in great shape. I had a plan a few years ago about trailering my Holiday across the USA stopping at every interesting lake on the way, but then ending up in Lake Powell. I'd love to see it. - Grandad

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

Can anyone recommend a DYI paint that is brush on? Don't have spray equipment etc...
thanks,
RoadKing

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

look at the Petit and Interlux web sites for possible paints (i know our esteemed mod had major Issues with the 1-part Petit Easypoxy so maybe avoid that). look at West Marine site or youtube for info on "roll and tip" painting....you roll out the paint, then follow up with tip of brush to knock down the bubbles. if done right, this can produce a finish very similar to sprayed.

me, i'd get the cheap Wagner turbine rig for about $100.
