Hey guys, my bro-in-law just bought a 73 115 hp evinrude. Model 115393m. I've been searching for the right spark plug with no luck. I've learned not to trust what came from the previous owner! Any help appreciated!
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton
this is what i decided to do instead of having 2 more doors in my deck. a flip access to under the deck. i can reach everywhere under the deck from here. the 2 batteries under the deck take up alot of space!
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton
did a little more. got the trolling motor mounted. carpeted the deck and am just finishing up the small odds and ends in the deck and workin my way back. its starting to look pretty nice.
this door is for my batter access and will lock
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton
little more progress, got the casting deck attached, still have to rivet along the sides. built a battery box with way overkill supports around it. 2 - 12 volt batteries take up alot of space! i couldn't get them as far forward as i was originally anticipating...
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton
got a little more done today. messed up one peice on my consol. i misjudged one cut on the carpet ugh!
overall its coming along pretty good!
light i added to the side panel
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton

splashwell mounted. need a warmer day to lay some sealant before i screw it to the transom...
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton
got a little more done over the past week or so. painted the rest of the boat that was left. ill post pics of that later. i also finished mounting the floor. i used 1 5/8 - 1 3/4 rivets and some screws mostly where the plywood joins.
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton
i never give up on a project! i may have a few on the go at some points but they all get done!
heres the seats i picked up for $20 each! the front blue/gray ones will be permanently mounted to the boat, the 2 gray ones will be removable for extra space when its...
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton
think i will update. started on some stuff on the boat. Annual boat show is this week so i will undoubtedly be getting more and more antsy! plan is to bring the boat back from storage within the next few weeks and start plugging away. i set up a make shift paint...
hey guys. i have to paint the some stuff on my boat that i would like to complete before i start restoring (boat is completely gutted). problem is its getting warmer but still around 0F at night and no warmer than 30F most days. I can get my garage warm enough to paint (lets say about 68F) but...
hey guys I'm looking to build a live well into the deck of my starcraft as part of my re build. not really too sure what size live well is normal in most boats. i know I'm gonna be kinda limited to around 11 - 12 inches high, wondering how long and wide most are
hey guys i figure you probably get a lot of questions like this but i guess i just need to ease my mind
i am restoring a 1980 starcraft SS and recently found a bow mount trolling motor for 50% off at a store. (blowing out older models) too good of a deal to pass, it has a 54" shaft, now since...
Re: 1980 starcraft SS restoraton
thanks for the responses. i will be watching kijiji classifieds all winter and will pick something up before spring.
here. so far all is cut out the new floor but have it sitting in my garage for winter, i replaced the transom and applied gluvit to all the...
ok i feel stupid asking this but i just bought a boat and it came with a full tank of gas (sweet!) now i assumed that it was mixed cause he was running the boat on it. i went to dump the gas into another container to use in the winter and it was a murky brown colour. i am used to my mixed gas...
