GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Well - not too different than the initial design.
Most of the new stuff is all butted up and wrapped with glass. Not much opportunity for hinging
And - it is all bonded to the floor
But clearly not as good as continuous material.
Yep - those plywood sections were my selective replacement of the existing glass-only sections. I replaced the trashed ones, and beefed up the rest.
Should have just ripped it all out and put in continuous stringers.
Most of the lateral ones are new/marine plywood that I put in. Shaped to the hull.
Most of the the fore-aft ones were original - Just fiberglass draped over a small 1x1 frame that had rotted away. .
I laid extra glass/resin over those to beef them up before slapping the new floor in.
Hi all - I’ve got a 1967 Starcraft Bahama - glass boat. 10 years ago I did a “structural restoration“ - popped the deck, gutted it, redid stingers, Transom, floor, etc… put it all back together, just repowered with a 1995 50hp Johnson and it’s running great.
With all that new, Re-enforced...
Hi all - repowering my rebuilt 1967 StarCraft Bahama and have an option for either a 1998 2 cylinder Johnson 50hp SPL J50TSLECC or a 1995 3-cylinder 50hp J50DTLEOS
both motors in decent shape - my local shop is recommending the 3 cylinder.
any pros/cons to consider? Weight difference...
Hi Folks - just new to the board and after 3 years of knowing this was coming, I lifted the floor off my craigslist bought 1967 starcraft. and look what I found.
So - started trimming it back to expose the rest
also took some core samples of the transom, and that is all wet too.
so -...
