    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    That old 1970 motor blues is why I went to the 90s for my SS, man I love that Merc 115 inline 4 cyl and it turned 30 this year. The V6 motors have all sorts of issues compared to the 4 cyl. I saw up there your said "nasty Johnson" gave me a good chuckle.

    1982 starcraft v220 mariner v5 potential rebuild

    Welcome aboard, the V5 designation was the early model of the Vs to come in the 80s and Starcraft was proud of them making emblems and decals to show it off. Another give away is the port side fuel filler.

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    Looks to be corrosion forming under the paint, not sure what that blue color is in the pitting but yeah it needs to cleaned up and stopped. Being on the bottom makes me suspect either wet with brine on the bunks or someone put on copper anti fouling paint.

    What is the Starcraft Islander Freeboard height??

    The tanks were custom made to fit the belly. What you can do is remove the deck supports, fit your tank and then put the supports back in and attach them to the ribs on the outside edges of the tank. I did this with my Chief and then added height to the ends of the ribs to level the deck.

    68 Offshore restoration

    Spring has a way of lighting a fire under us boat guys. You may want to redesign that hatch to be recessed, less things to trip on the better.

    68 Offshore restoration

    Moving towards the finish line and some nice carpet work, that stuff isn't easy to work with. For sure you'll want to box up the batteries and anchor them down

    Oh yeah that was a dandy buck, bigger than any I've ever taken. No such thing as overkill for a truck.

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I used 1/4" batting on my SS panels just to add some cushion for for the vinyl after seeing how easy it gets injured on my Chief with just the plywood underneath.

    1974 Chieftain 25 "Adventurer" Restoration

    Yeah and I still have the plans for it too. A = 24" B = 24" C = 21" D = 4 1/4" A & B are 2"x2" thin wall box tubing. B should have a straight cut on one end and a slight angle cut on the other. I think that angle is somewhere in the 15-17 degree range. The exact location for the forward legs...

    1974 Chieftain 25 "Adventurer" Restoration

    Looking good on the drive clean up although that chipped skeg stirs something in my brain. I used a saw and belt sander to smooth the OCD out of my broke skeg. :sneaky: :ROFLMAO:

    All the links were knocked out of whack when the new forum came online. You can still see the thread name and member to manually search it but the link will take you off to a totally different thread.
