    Part Name Identification Problem... Stupid question, I know!

    But I can't find out for the life of me! Lets start with this. I have a 1970 Johnson 115 HP Hydro Electric Shift. There is a little bracket type thing that is supposed to be bolted to the motor housing that holds the throttle cable housing in place while the inner part moves. I don't know how...

    Starting problem on 1970 Johnson Hydro Electric Shift

    I've got a 1970 115 hp Johnson Hydro Electric Shift motor, and while trying to start, the starter barely can turn the flywheel. It is not seized, has good compression, etc... Obviously this defaults to forward, so I guess I'm asking if it's stuck in forward, should the starter still be able to...

    Keel replacement on 21' Cruisers Inc?

    I've just recently got my hands on a beautiful 1962 21' Cruisers Inc. Most of this boat is in great structural shape, with just some finish work needed. The one thing that has got me worried, is what to do with the keel. Just before the keel turns up at the front, there is about a 3' section...

    Post your boating videos here!

    Am I allowed to do this? I wanted to see some other boats in action, from a camera in the boat. This should be fun. Here's mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VpO6DRDG9A Let's see yours!

    Video of motor swap test run!

    Just got done swapping just about everything out of my 14' Hydroswift into my 15' Starcraft. Replaced the old 60 HP evinrude for a '68 Merc 950. Swapped seats, steering, etc... Here's a youtube video of my first test run today. One thing that kinda bothered me, and don't think there's much I...

    Steering swap ended up too short!

    I should have realized that 14' - 15' + -1', but didn't think about it. I swapped the steering from my 14' Hydroswift to my 15' Starcraft, mocked them up, and they seemed like they were going to fit just fine. Turned out I was wrong, now the steering in the starcraft (my main pride and joy) is...

    Power tilt on motor that never had it...

    This might be a stupid idea, but has anyone ever successfully made a non power tilt motor power tilt? Is there a kit you can buy, or any good ideas on how to possibly start from scratch. I don't know if this is the best idea, or even worth my time, but sure would be nice if pulling up to a...

    2 questions on my 1967 Starcraft!

    Once again, I have a 1967 Starcraft 15' fiberglass. I have tried to find the model I have everywhere, but can't find the same exact boat anywhere! Anybody know what I have? It's always either the windshield is different, or the transom is different... Also the other question I had, was what...

    Looking everywhere for a top for my 1967 Starcraft!

    I've got a 1967 Starcraft 15' Fiberglass (I think it's a Holiday, but still haven't found anyone with the same exact boat!). I've been searching online for months for a full top for it (front, side and a back drop to enclose the front area, etc) but haven't found anything! I'd prefer to find...

    1967 Starcraft, can't figure out what model!

    I've got a 1967 15' Fiberglass Starcraft with an outboard only. I am looking EVERYWHERE to figure out what model it is, an can't find it anywhere! To me it looks kinda like the Holiday (because of the windshield), but there are still lots of differences. Here is a site that has what I THOUGHT...
