1986 Starcraft FM-160

[WATERHAM]

I tried to post pics of my Starcraft FM-160 but will have to wait until tomorrow (pics were too big). Anyway, bought the boat late winter, gutted (Everything but the steering, console, and hull) and put back together before Walleye season. Can anyone tell me about the history of this model as I can't find a damned bit of info anywhere.

Thanks

Skipping around a little, these pics show the condition of the bilge area which was cluttered and useless space. There is a few pictures showing the floor installation (removal was a complete nightmare). Edges and bottoms were sealed. I installed the floor a little different. I used 1/2" treated, installed the entire floor, decided Saginaw Bay would punish it and built 3/4's of the floor up another 1/2" making most of the floor 1" thick. The step down is trimmed w/ aluminum angle (1/2") and sealed w/ silicon.

This group of photos show mostly the whole picture. I completely redid All of the wiring, installed a battery selecter switch w/ dual batteries. New switch panel, fish finder, marine radio+antennae, marine vinyl floor (awesome stuff)
new 3/4" casting deck, on board battery charger, 8' of Bert's Custom Tackle
Track System, 6 tube style rod holders, Gave the 77' Johnson Seahorse 70HP a complete Tuneup and a trolling plate
