    Looking at a 97 sea ray bow rider

    I'm looking at possibly buying a sea ray 21 ft signature bow rider. Is this boat completely fiberglass or is there some wood? What should I look at closely before I make my decision

    Hey guys, got my boat about finished up. Took it to the lake and played for a couple days. Think I need a different prop. Im running 34 mph (GPS) at about 4700 RPM. I feel like the boat needs a little more push out of the water. Was thinking about a four blade prop to help with hole shot and...

    Need ideas for a new prop for my 74 Starcraft

    I have a 74 Starcraft 21 aluminum boat. Motor is a 74 Johnson 115. Prop i believe is original prop. It is a 15" pitch. At WOT I'm getting 34 mph @ 4700RPM. I been looking at maybe getting a four blade prop, something to help get on plane faster and hold it there at lower speed. Any help is...

    1974 21' Supersport Rebuild

    Re: 1974 21' Supersport Rebuild Yes it is a big big project. I was actually looking for one a little smaller. 18' to 20' but in Kansas these old Starcrafts are hard to come by. Here's some more pictures.

    1974 21' Supersport Rebuild

    Been a long time lurker. Love these forums, lots of awesome information here. Last year I rebuilt a 17 foot Blue Fin tinny but it got small real fast. So in January I found this 21' Starcraft SS, total rebuild needed. So far I have it flipped and paint stripped off, trailer is painted and ready...
