    1978 SS 16 restoration

    I hear you on the tank, I mulled over that one for a long time. Never found one that would work under the current floor design. Hence the custom route and it cost ~$500 to have it fabricated. Non custom route, think @Moserkr made his front seating area a casting deck. That allowed him to...

    1978 SS 16 restoration

    I tried to make a bunch of storage, but realize now how fruitless it was. The boat isn't big enough to make permanent storage for most of the stuff I want to take out. So now its just what we will need for the day. I use varying size bins to store my big anchors and rope in if we go fishing...

    1982 Starcraft Center Console 18' Rebuild

    I see two options, find a welder willing to fill the holes or use a thin sheet of aluminum and 5200 with a couple solid rivets. The strake doesn't need to be perfectly flat on the hull as its only there for protection. Just my 2 cents. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Congrats on the Splash!!!! LOL, we all say we will never try another project, but once we are done we all want another one. One day I may be able to get a 20-24 project boat, but need a bigger garage. SHSU

    JB weld a thing piece from the bottom side. Then you can use JB weld or similar to fare it level. Or in my case, I just covered it with Nautolex +1 to this, only need to do seams and tails. SHSU

    When you do the gluvit, do it in batches and use a syringe to apply to seam. Makes it a lot cleaner and prevents waste. SHSU

    Make sure to let the 5200 fully cure before you paint it. Guessing you will be using it on the patch. SHSU

    I wish I had the tools/experience to weld aluminum. That would make things easier for repairs. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    Looking at it, it almost looks like its to bolt something on to the engine, not to hold the head to the engine. The head takes 10 bolts per Crowley. So as long as you have your 10, I would guess its for an accessory. SHSU

    Man I see what you mean when you say "crack". Not 100% its a crack, wonder if something really sharp scraped the bottom. In your last picture it looks like the "crack" jumps which doesn't seem natural. SHSU

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    As long as you have a big enough loop I don't think you should have an issue if your throttle/running cables are to long. You can test how much stiffer they are with and without the loops before install. As for measurement, I did the 2 foot rule. I didn't want to do a loop in the splashwell...
