    Got some work done today before dropping her off tomorrow for the transom cap. 6 more total bolts through the transom. 4 holes were already there (4 white smeared bolts below aluminum rectangles). Then I drilled a hole between each of the 4 old drains for the splashwell (2 new holes to cover 4)...

    still a little overspray, but I cleaned up the back end and painted the rest of top gunwal. Painted some of the port side trim to see how it looks and I think I like it.

    Thanks for the tips guys, Ill look into them. Hayko it will be camo eventually. Just have to think long and hard how I want to do it. I dont want the usual stencil pattern most do these days. Im thinking more of a free hand thing. This is the type of stuff I mostly hunt in. Itll be a tricky...

    Had a lil fun today. I scrubbed the top gunwals with the 3m pad. Then busted out the aluminum primer (not SE'ing) and sprayed the rear port half with it. To my surprise it was white. But ok. Then im thinking, well Ill leave the rear half primed and try no primer on the front half. Let it dry and...

    These are a little out of order but you can see that the middle support has a 3/4 inch gap from the original boat it was designed for. I took some semi sealed pieces from the transom, cut them to fit, and dipped them in the spar to soak it up. I also skipped goin to the boat ramp to do...

    Before.... 12 ft and after..... 10 ft of beauty Slapped on some spar since its laying around. Lets see how long these buggers last. I lapped the spar on top and sides. It soaked in that stuff. these are cedar 2x4's. Maybe they will last years, maybe not. Carpeted only the top and sides...

    Here we go, The transom is bolted up and got the eyes in with some extra plates for added strength. Hayko was right and the random extra little holes were from the back plate that was on it. Two of the four larger holes were covered by the same board and two were splashwell drains. I have to...

    Ok, so word to those going after me. Do small coats of spar urethane if thats what you are using. And I do not recommend using it before the pieces are cut and sandwiched together. I got back home and did some work today. Had to recut the top ends to fit the end caps back on and reseal it. When...

    14' Starcraft Mod advice

    If it was me Id bring the deck at least back to cove that middle bench. Im pretty sure that middle one helps out structurally. Then you have a bigger deck for more storage and wont have to worry about removing it. There rear half boxes Im not to sure about but Im betting they also help and are...

    If im not huffing paint stripper or gluvit, Its Spar sealer! Put a thin coat on each side and let it soak a bit then hit a hefty coat on it. Ill let that dry up a few hours. Made sure to hit all the edges too. I know I still have to cut out where the motor will go, but atleast the sealing will...

    1986 Starcraft Mariner 210...I think?

    The red circle is around the line that makes it look like a 3 piece transom. If ive learned anything this is more likely ann original transom from factory? unless someone redid just like the factory did. Either way, the spots GA pointed sure looks like water intrusion. By the way, it is a nice...

    Well, I am home with a sick little kid today so Ill be getting out to sand during naps. Already got one half and the transom done. The primers I used said sand with 400 grit paper. I had 220 and 600 on hand. So I made a choice to go with 220 first and that was the wrong answer. It just dug too...
