Re: Time to get started on the starcraft resto.

I'm guessing you want to add the Starmada logo to this rig, not the flip boat. Here's the cleanest graphic I have of it. It's from the mob sticker, but might be the same one as the iboats sticker, just larger, not sure off hand.

Anyway here ya go:

DEAL OF THE DAY WOOO HOOO she is getting a brand new Uflex no feedback rack and pinion system. I was a little worried about a stiff steering cable on her.


$57.00 on ebay shipped. Brand freaking new in the box.

That's a score! Just about 2/3s off.

Well I wasn't able to make the motor deal work out I have really been looking, BUT only at bottom feeder price ranges though. I had to treat her to something special after the last 2 months of neglect and you know the whole track hoe incident.

Pamper her a little and she might forgive you. :joyous:

Re: Time to get started on the starcraft resto.

Ohh im hoping to do ALOT of pampering as soon as flipper is done, i really should not have. Spent that money at the moment but I was going to have to spend it sooner or later and a deal that good wouldn't. Have been available later

Hey JB check my join date man

I guess you would say I am a man of few words.

Its all good this seller got 100% feedback I can't wait to get her in the water and see what happens.

Honestly I joined back in 2005 when I bought my first rotted out trihull but lost the email and user name so I had to rejoin. My story is I bought my first rotted out Trihull about that time and I ran the ever living dog carp out of that thing for about 2 years, ran into some hard times sold it. Bought another Trihull in great shape in 09 or so and ran it hard. It was about that time that EZOMBEE was starting his restoration thread on his 18'SS I read that thread so many freaking times and swore I would have a Starcraft. Just never really had to much to contribute, well I did rack up about 200 posts in 2010 basically calling a former member by the name of SMALLBOATLUVR an idiot but really would have to have seen his posts, I got a little warning from admin and kind of laid low for a long time. Technically speaking going under my old username and this one

I've actually been around longer than most of the Starmada.

If it's worth anything, Sig - You are right, not were. Haven't seen SBL around lately.

Re: Time to get started on the starcraft resto.

W/out an SC, I just wasn't sure you followed Jas' SN build for the Puma incident. If I hadn't been following his Islander thread, I wouldn't have been following the SN build.
SBL, jeez

Thankfully, they don't come around like that very often

I got a warning shot across the bow once too, but not on an SBL thread.......... Try to mind my manners since...

 

[SigSaurP229]

Re: Time to get started on the starcraft resto.

Ohhh before I bought mine I had pretty much followed all of the SC threads I was so envious now I have two in various stages of completion. Not as nice as some but functional for me.


SSSSSHHHHHHH

What she doesnt know is when im ready I am going to bypass her wants and look for an ultra rare 20 foot v5


The admiral told me today she wants another 18'

As for SBL
I hope that somebody was merciful enough to cut up that old Chrysler trihull of his and haul it to the dump I think he was finally banned.

Re: Time to get started on the starcraft resto.

He's still about. Last time was only two weeks ago, but no recent posts. I guess we should put a cork in it.

Re: Time to get started on the starcraft resto.

Well guys its been a while, I really have big plans for her just waiting on some funds I pretty much hurt the bank account working on Flipper, plug April and May are always bad money making months for me at work, and I just dropped a ton of coin on vacation.

So anyways I fired her up for the first time since July of last year, back in December I was going to winterize her but the no spark problem came back, and I basically tore the ignition system apart and fixed it again. Anyways Since its been a little while and I am chomping at the bits to get back to her, I thought I would give everyone some O/B porn to look at.

Re: Time to get started on the starcraft resto.

Sig did say it was porn. :facepalm: :lol:

 

[SigSaurP229]

Well guys its been a little while I havent updated in a little whiile. I finished the trailer wrap up. Re ran the electrical. Wrapped up all the work on the johnnyrude. I solved the which motor is going on her today. I picked this up today $400 great compression on all 6 no spark on all 6 but i was testing quick and didnt think to check the safety lanyard so fingers crossed

400 bucks! Man that's a bottom feeder price for Yam 150 awesome find man :thumb:

Looks like you need to move the winch tower back a ways to get those bunks under the hull.
