    Unable to login at website to order

    I see there's currently an issue with processing cards in a banner but I'm not able to login to my account at the shopping side to place an order. Says my username or password is incorrect when it is. Guess I will try to order as a guest and see if that gets it done for me. Thanks. (Edit: that...

    Rivets, rivets and more rivets! (Repaired)

    All of us have to learn a new trade when it comes to restoring our 'gently used' riveted aluminum boats. Disputably Starcraft boats are the most popular and prolific aluminum boat of all time and the same rivet questions come up time and time again. Rather than answer each and every question...

    Starcraft brochures in PB...

    It seems Photobucket has upped the ante on the remaining pics hosted there as if having that ugly logo wasn't enough. Now all of the brochure pics are blurred out as well as have the their logo. Wish I would have taken the time to download them all and put back up on Onedrive. Now I fear...

    Facebook boat groups...

    Vent.... rant... or something, somewhere along those lines... I'm in some really good FB boat and motor groups that give me chances to help others as well as learn from others. Lots of pics and instant gratification for most but that's where the shine goes off for me. Some groups have strict...

    Fleet addition, 1977 V5 Islander V220

    Another road trip out of State but Oregon was an easy drive to get this 22' OB V5 Islander jewel from a super nice guy on the Facebook SC group. He also had a fleet of 4 SC boats until I got there. :joyous: With the deal done I latched onto the big 22'r and started for home. I had noticed...

    !978 14' Seafarer restoration

    I'm back at it with another Starcraft but this time a little tinny. I've been looking for a number of months to find a 14'r to use on the small lakes and ponds that are electric only where my 18' SS is just way too much boat. This 1978 14' Seafarer popped up locally with the original 1978...

    Deteriorating infrastructure puts boaters at risk

    Tell us something we don't know! The State Park launches here in WA State are dilapidated beyond belief, they charge you $35 to have a yearly pass to park on State owned "public land" and then $5 to actually launch the boat. I'm sure each State has it's own money grubbing ways as well. Fox...

    Dead Horse Bay NY

    Any of you guys in the NY area up for a scavenger hunt? Take a look at what's on the transom of this old boat, it would be worth some money if in good shape and I'm surprised it's still there. I started the video as he walks up on this derelict but the whole video is pretty cool

    Hey BC please take it back!

    Man the fires in BC are ruining our beautiful Eastern WA summer with thick nasty head clogging, eye burning smoke. My view this morning... normally mountains is now smog. To top it off we're expecting strong winds today too, yeah from the north so it's going to get worse. That tiny dot in the...

    Opinions needed using a CMC PT 130 with a 140 HP

    I had this question in my restore thread for my 18' 1979 V5 Starcraft SS. I have a 1979 Merc 140 HP TOP which is what the boat is rated for. The old TnT system on the motor is a remote mounted pump with 4 lines to the rams. The 4 lines are deteriorated and would need replaced at an average of...

My resto buddy Herf43 will...

    Johnson 55EL77D exhaust leak at powerhead

    Decided that the black oily carbon that started running down the fresh paint on my 55 Johnny last season needs to be stopped up. It runs out from under the exhaust housing cover and is clearly exhaust residue and not fresh oil/gas from the carbs. This leads me to believe that the leak is at the...
