    I doubt you will find new replacements, why not upgrade to new LED lights?

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

    I’m going with the Springfield AD and AP taper lock pedestals so I can move the swivel seats around. They are class A (high speed rating). Actually, my wife likes the sleeper seats so I’m making them so they come out easily and hidden underneath are the pedestal sockets so I have flexibility to...

    I love this layout. That’s smart. 2 swivels to move around and 2fixed seats with storage etc. could the pedestals of the side seats be large enough for a live well ? I’ve never had a boat with one.

    I totally agree. Phase 37 on my SS is putting it back under the knife to completely rework the SW.

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

    Thinking of trying sea hawk aluma hawk aluminum boat paint for the whole thing if I can find it up here or have it shipped over the border. No primer required, safe to use, topside AND bottom side. Looks easy peasy but hard to find in basic white.

    Starcraft Factory Paint type?

    I’ve seen them doing this to back in the day. (Industrial shop)

    Starcraft Factory Paint type?

    Makes sense. Perhaps liquid paint electrostatically applied? I cant see it being powder coated. The build is too thin.

    Starcraft Factory Paint type?

    Does anyone know what Starcraft used in their production in the 70’s and 80’s? Surely they were a one coat system for both topside and bottom? Or would they actually have put a anti-fouling paint on the bottom? In an automated production sense, I’d assume they would have done a Chem wash...

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

    From what I can see, all interlux bottom paints are antifouling. I really don’t want to use it. It’s a poison that’s harmful to me and the water body. When I think of Sherwin Williams, I too think “house paint” but they are big on industrial and marine coatings also. And 5 minutes from me vs...

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

    I got some pricing from Sherwin Williams today. Thinking of the 646 Macropxoy. 2 part epoxy. 50/50 A/B mix. 2 full gallons so I can do the whole boat and maybe another but I’d have to topcoat above the waterline because it has no UV protection. But not sold on it, still chasing a 2 part epoxy...

    Thanks, I see what you’re saying. Algae build up I think is all I’m going to be dealing with. What brands are you thinking, PPG, sherwin Williams etc?

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

    Coming back to this, the full in water season will be may-October then trailer stored for the winter. To pull it out and wash every 2months isn’t out of the possibility. What paint would you recommend? I read that I need several good coats of primer to act as a barrier for the copper content...

    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    Did you go with twin 70’s cause you had them, or was reliability a factor? One gets you home if you have troubles etc? Or just way cool factor?

    Make sure that goop plug is in good shape. I had a car topper tinny that was leaking badly there, and let water in fast. The reason I call it a plug, is because it was obviously a sealant injected down in the keel hollow where the bow was pulled together. It had shrunk and was loose so I pulled...

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

    Thanks, definitely going to try that. In fact, I did batches and might have enough left to do seams with the syringe method. Migh save me the need for a 2hour round trip, fuel and cost of another quart...at $110 Cdn. Last time, I had the garage heater running for days at 20 degrees. But the...
