well 90% done..... had the electrical all re wired front to back and put in a two phase battery set up, one for the motor, the other to run accessories. also installed a fuse block and kill switch .... new nav lights, front and rear, actually found the exact same one (repop im sure) for the...
does anyone know where i might find a good condition emblem for my 72 starcraft ss 18' for the left console...... any info would be greatly appreciated.
well been a few since last post, pics of boat the water and some cosmetic changes to the bow area..... carpeted and framed out the seating area, also sanded down the rust along the molded area up top, then painted which the kid said was a good and cheap decision. runs like a top floats without...

all original trim pieces, 51 yrs new... even the boards were original as well. The controls were replaced at some point and the person who mounted them had really small hands or special tools because I, in no way, cannot get my hands in behind the plate to keep nut from spinning so I can unbolt...
well one of two is installed, I didnt account for the 1/4 rise(3/4 inch plywood install) of the floor making a difference with the starboard board. My throttle controls are in the way now, so either i notch the board or raise the controls..... the bolts are so friggn hard to get to tho...
well a gallon of coat it, few dozen rivets, first coat of paint and we are well on the way back to glory...... making pretty good headway.... cutting new boards for the gunnel storage area, which should be finished soon
