    Rivets that look "bucked" Rivets that look "bucked" Found a Rivet that will work for me. I wanted a factory appearance since they will be on the outside of the boat. The best part, after searching for something I wanted/needed I found Shaveable rivets. And realized, hey, I have a bag of those...

    Re: Trolling motor mount Re: Trolling motor mount Just a mock-up of what I was thinking. The gauges will go on the large flat panel above the console. I've got some acrylic I'll make for a "gauge panel" and keep them over closer to the transom. Then mount the electronics on top of the...

    Re: Trolling motor mount Re: Trolling motor mount Also built a trolling motor pedal recessed tray. Still looks rough, but it'll be carpeted along with the rest of the deck. I'll install a couple drains too.

    Aluminum v hull restoration, how-to's? Lmuss53's 171CC Sea Nymph Striper

    Re: Aluminum v hull restoration, how-to's? Lmuss53's 171CC Sea Nymph Striper Ya, my boat had the same 2" transom. Kind of an oddball size for the DIY'er. I replaced it with 1.5". It works for the Starcraft guys, it should work for us. The start of my boat's transom area/splashwell...

    Rivets?

    Hopefully this isn't against the rules... I know there are some Starcraft guys in the fine state of MI. My question is do any of you guys have the tools and ability to install solid rivets? Do you know of someone who does? I want to remove my trim channel on the side of the boat, and then...

    Re: Trolling motor mount Re: Trolling motor mount Ok so this way keeps it off the aluminum trim. But, when folded the bracket, and motor will be hanging off the side of the boat. If I move it over, so that the mount, and motor will run down the gunnell, it would be like this. And this

    Trolling motor mount Trolling motor mount So I had a Minn Kota Powerdrive but it was 12v 54lb thrust, 48" shaft. Traded it for a 24v 67lb thrust Motorguide with 60" shaft. Issue is though, compared to the powerdrive the mount is HUGE. To fit on the bow, and NOT be on top of that aluminum...

    trailer. trailer. Got the boat on the other trailer. Not a perfect fit, but they never are. Had to cut the side guide on bunks off, and still need to adjust the bunks. Oddly enough the wood on the bunks was like new so w/new carpet I'll reuse it. Some sandblasting, paint/wheels etc, plus some...
