    Re-Decking a 14' glass, my 1st partial-resto

    Hi everyone. I have a 196X-198X fiberglass boat that was my 1st boat, and I just got a Starcraft 16 SS, so I figured I'd sell ole "Sput-Nick" :D The floor was rotten, and I cant sell a boat with a rotten/unsafe deck. Although the guy who sold me the boat didn't share that opinion. Bastich! lol...

    160SS Bow-mount Trolling motor Shaft length.

    Hi So I found a deal on a 54" shaft 70 lbs thrust Minn Kota, but I think if I was going to buy one new I'd get a 60" shaft. Just wondering if anyone has experience or advice with a 54" and or 60". I'm worried about it pulling out of the water in rough water. Not like I fish on Big water, but...

    Rivets and Riveters. What and where to buy? Advice?

    Hi So I did an extensive search, and found some info and a couple suggestions on rivets. I figured rivets deserve a thread on their own, and would probably help out people in my situation. Perhaps the advice gathered here could render this "sticky" worthy? I'd think SC rivets wouldn't be...

    How to fix a couple Keel rivets?

    Hi I just picked up a 16' SS and its got a couple (2) broken rivets at the stern most end, both on the starboard side. The last two are busted and the lip of the keel is just slightly separated from the hull. I think I'd be able to get at it without pulling up the deck, from the inside, but I'm...

    Advice plz. Aluminum vs Glass boat choice to make

    Re: Advice plz. Aluminum vs Glass boat choice to make So he sent me pics of the hull which shows some Repairs. I'm not sure what to think about it, and what's underneath the white 'stuff'.

    Advice plz. Aluminum vs Glass boat choice to make

    Hi everyone. I'm looking to buy a boat and I have two I'm looking at. I'm leaning towards the Aluminum Starcraft (1986 Starcraft with 70 hp Johnson) vs 1986 Glasstrong (Canadian made Glastron look-alike) Open bow Speed Boat with 1979 Chrysler 700 skier (70 hp). I know its impossible to know the...

    gears and prop-shaft install help.

    Hi I have a 63' merc 500 50 hp. I didn't drain the lower leg last fall, and I came to find the prop and entire hub pushed out, and the retaining nut stripped of threads this spring. I have a new retaining nut, but I can't get the prop-shaft and bearing carrier into the leg enough to get the...

    Hi So long story short I didn't drain my leg on my 1963 Merc 500, and came to find the prop pushed out this spring. :eek: The $140 "BEARING-CARRIER-ASSEMBLY" is cracked in 2 spots, which I'll need, along with new bearings and rings. Also the $5 "Threaded keeper-Ring" as best I can call it...

    Iboats Rox. Thank you all

    Hey, I just felt compelled to give you guys who help others and provide such great info a "Good Job", and a much appreciated Thanks. I have no fantastic tale of how iboats saved my day, but I'm certain I wouldn't have a whack of money that I've saved by doing repairs and maintenance myself...
