SPLASH:Rustedbrit's 1964 Starcraft Jupiter Rebuild

[Rustedbrit]

I picked up a 1964 Starcraft Jupiter just about this time last year. It was rough - floors squishy, rotten transom, 30hp Rude, mostly original, and no leaks!





At the end of the season I had the hull soda-blasted in prep for the resto.



Polished the hull to right above the splashrail.



Hull sanded on to-be-painted areas - interior gutted Lots o' wet foam - applied gluvit per recommendations here and durabak white to inner hull surfaces. here it is sitting next to its painting stand

Went with cedar plank for the interior - used penofin marine to finish the wood.





Had to add additional bracing to hold the planks



Here is the status as of today.

That is some amazing word work!!! If I were closer to NY I could very well get the same treatment on my bayliner like yours! However my hull is fiberglass! *Father in Law* has his own sawmill!

Nice work though man looking forward to this thread and see the final splash.

Re: Rustedbrit's 1964 Starcraft Jupiter Rebuild

Many thanks for the kind words all! I'm hoping to splash the first week of July. I'm re-powering w/ an '86 Johnson 70, getting it mounted is next on the list.

Its a 70. Had to put some weight in the bow to keep it down. Trim is set as low as it goes
