    Bow cover for SuperSport

    Duh me, of course… I forgot that you had the taller windshield. Do you think it’s worth or possible to modify your existing cover? Even if just temporary measure I know of a small home based shop in KW that might do at a reasonable cost.

    Bow cover for SuperSport

    I think that’s designed as a small spray rail to keep water from rolling in. Would you not use the one piece cover you have or did it not come with the boat? My bow cover comes up behind the folding glass with three snaps, but there are leak points all around. So a good cover for inclimate...

    Bow cover for SuperSport

    Watching with interest. Would be nice to not have snaps everywhere. If not possible, would you just do a 1 piece cover to go over the sides of the gunnels using a draw string /strap?

    Kicker setup on MR 180

    Nice clean work and nothing wrong with a 15. If built like OMC models, it’s the same or similar weight as a 9.9. And if it has to be emergency power to get back in, you will be thankful for the extra power

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Thanks. I bought one but it was missing the mandrel collector cup and after looking it over, I decided I was going to take it back. The rivets are an easy 2-3 crank to pop, so I thought my hand riveter would actually be less cumbersome to use. And my compressor is on it’s very last legs. Sounds...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Aside from an old friend dropping in to see me for a few hours, I spent the almost the entire day installing rivets and under floor backer strips on the floor, and I’m STILL NOT DONE. I still have to install rivets on the rib ends when the longer ones come in next week. But I have to say, I’m...

    Where do I belong? Alum Goods 1687, SS16 Clone?

    Hey, How did you find the 1/8” thick butyl tape to be in terms of compressibility? I’m debating whether to pick up 1/16th But I figure there’s not enough build there, especially under the windshield.

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Hey, for you guys who have run your sideboards forward to the console, were you able to get it to meet the back panel? Looks like a one piece board won’t do the trick As it grounds out on the hull near the floor. Might have to do 2 piece with a mitred aluminum riser bases at the floor…Sound...

    1974 Starcraft 21’ Holiday

    Ok so that’s doable. I’d try hammer and dolly work with a helper. Hold a flat bock of steel against it on the outside and hammer the crack on the inside. Work it slowly, back and forth. You may have to remove the rib. If you aren’t comfortable removing the rib, make a patch large enough to...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Todays progress; Still very slow but moving forward. I wired up the rod locker lights, tested it and installed it and tan the leads. Swivel bases were installed on top of some .080” or .100” thick neoprene gaskets That I made. (Which I hope doesn’t react with the vinyl) I have to figure out a...

    Correction, it was @BOYS & TOYS who suggested the adhesive lined heat shrink. Thanks for that, works great.

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Back to the wiring question; To do a T-connection, I did a 2 into one connection with a shrink-solder connection when I realized I could fit 2 wires in one end. Then I covered the works with adhesive lined heat shrink. The adhesive seemed to bubble out a bit so hopefully we managed to seal...

    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    Looking forward to seeing how it comes out. I’m sure you/he could mask the nav light. It’s just soda blasting, right?

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Update; Grote’s site says they are all adhesive lined. So perhaps it does not matter if the packaging says so or not.

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Found some at the local auto supply. Grote makes it, but you have to really look for “Adhesive lined” on the package as all the packaging looks the same in their product line. They only had the one size that was adhesive lined and I think it just may work for my application. I’ll know tonight

    Excellent. I did not know there was such a thing as adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. I’ll definitely look for that tomorrow. Thank you
