    1988 Starcraft Mariner MR 220 V rebuild

    Every last one, I almost miss that smell of old dirty gym socks and moldy cheese when wheeling it off. :rolleyes:

    My first Starcraft I just picked up

    Good plan to make a knock out list and marking them off as you go. (y)

    1st boat - 1981 Starcraft SS 160

    Welcome aboard and to the Starmada, glad to see you have the pic posting figured out. You have one if not THE most prolific and popular aluminum boats ever made and for good reason too they are great boats for not much money. You have a very aggressive time table to get all your work done...

    21' Holiday Rebuild

    The rigid foam board cells are closed and won't pass water to become soggy. Guys have weighted down chunks in a bucket of water to test this and they weighed the same after months submerged. I'd have to say it's a waste. Different reason you paint decoys, not sure many would come into a flock of...

    At 200 bucks I seriously doubt any of us have glommed onto one of those. 😂

    1974 starcraft islander overhaul

    I see, the bowed out transom skin is not a concern, the transom wood doesn't "stretch" from the sides as the wood doesn't even touch the sides. Take a look at the transom skin on my Chief with the old rotten wood still there it was bowed too, real bad after the fasteners and cap were removed...

    1974 starcraft islander overhaul

    Mine has a splashwell there still so no way I can get an accurate measurement even if they were the same. I can measure from the outside edge to edge but inside there's no way.

    Rivets, rivets and more rivets! (Repaired)

    All of us have to learn a new trade when it comes to restoring our 'gently used' riveted aluminum boats. Disputably Starcraft boats are the most popular and prolific aluminum boat of all time and the same rivet questions come up time and time again. Rather than answer each and every question...

    1974 starcraft islander overhaul

    Total transom width with the boat intact? Should be able to get close with what you have to measure, my 22' 79 is an 25" OB transom so can't imagine it would be the same.

    '72 Starcraft SS New to me - Looking for design help

    We don't act as a buy and sell forum as far as prices and such. Very location specific and since you have nothing into it sell for what you paid.

    New Journey

    It is a great project although a mid late 80's dbl hockey stick V model but without the 5, no sharp bow rise with extended strakes

    21' Holiday Rebuild

    I wouldn't use the plastic, just use some SS and the good ole pelican poop 5200 in a light layer will isolate if that's what your worried about.

    1974 starcraft islander overhaul

    Once you get the plan and a clean slate it's all about making the boat what you need, just like I did with my SS and Chief.

    21' Holiday Rebuild

    Nice work, the chine braces look good, you won't regret the work they took in the long run. (y) I would bolt the tabs on, way stronger in a high stress area.

    1978 18ft Mariner Floor Rip Out: I have some questions..?

    Best plan is to remove the SW and then transom, makes it way easier and you can get in there to clean off the corrosion on the inner transom skin. Personally I fill pitting and paint the transom skin before putting in the new well sealed transom wood. Lots going on there in this pic with the...

    1966 Starcraft Holiday Interior Work

    That should help with foam dispersing and curing, just make sure the boat is inside long enough for the metal to warm and loose condensation moisture.
