I haven't posted in forever it seems like. Still lurking in the background, and have kept tabs on the resto forums. All three of these are great restorations, Well done fellas.
I've heard the 2 best days in any boat owners life are the day you purchase the boat and the day you sell it. Well for us that didn't really hold true. Our Starcraft wasn't our first boat, but it was the first one we purchased with a clear goal in mind. We bought it knowing it had issues with...
To bad it's a lot out of our price range. The Admiral and I were Teens when this show hit the air waves back in the 80's. I'm sure if I look hard enough I could dig up some appropriate attire and some cool Ray Bands to complete the Sonny Crockett look and my wife certainly knows how to tease her...

We are going to look at a 1993 Stratos 290SF on Saturday that has I believe the original 200Hp Johnson on it. The seller stated that the engine was rebuilt in 2011 due to the automatic oilier failing. After the rebuild he mixed the oil and gas himself.
I am familiar with Chrysler outboards as...
Happy Veterans Day! To all who have served and all who serve today!
To all our Brothers and Sisters in arms Becky and I say thank you for your service!
