    Opinions on seating arrangement on my newly restored 1976 16’ SS

    This has given me a lot to think about. Maybe i’ll keep the two seat posts i already purchased, install them, and just install two additional 12” plug ins for the back as originally planned. It would be nice to be able to pull all seats and seat posts, especially the driver seat post in the...

    Bow Eye Replacement

    If you replace it with a stainless bow eye and use good quality stainless hardware, you will never need to think about it again. if you have welded, wether you flip it or not, a few years from now you will be addressing this issue all over again.

    My 2nd Starcraft rebuild, 1976 SuperSport , I'm back

    have been away. Since the summer of 2011 basically. Bought a house, sold my Jetstar in 2012 only a month after I bought the house. To this day I have no idea why. I think I assumed I would be overwhelmed with the house and some work it required, so I decided it was best to sell it. I love the...

    I bought a 1976 Starcraft SS, it came with said outboard. Previous owner bought it to restore and passed after not having time. He never tried to get the engine going.
