    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    Hi guys! Looks like I'll be getting back to work on the Chief tomorrow morning. :D This evening I started reviewing my prior work and where we were when I left off and realized that I'd not kept everything up to date here, so I'll give a brief update now.

    Nobody fishing?

    Yeah, going fishing with us has made a big difference in his life. Otherwise, he just stays home, works on puzzles and gets bored silly. I'm happy to bring him along. Last week, we tested getting him up into my boat so that we could get out on the water. He got in there, but it was a major...

    Nobody fishing?

    Went back to the ol' fishin' hole last evening and my buddy hit it big! :D And a few weeks ago, the boy got a 5.2 pounder. His personal best too!

    Insurance for older boats

    This is exactly what my insurance agency told me. They normally don't even insure older boats, but I showed the agent the before/after restoration pics and was told to get it surveyed and they'd probably help. So, I started shopping for a surveyor and the prices were right around $1,200...

    Outboard not running right with cowling on... and a fix!

    I'm just putting this out here so that anyone else searching for a solution to this problem can find a fix. I'm not looking for comments and solutions, etc. Just trying to help others. This fix isn't permanent, but works! :cool:

    Tin boat prices

    Nice Tracker-style boat! Have you extended your search area? I keep my FB search parameter at 500 miles and that certainly provides more opportunities, even if I decide not to travel. Might work for you as well.

    Tin boat prices

    Yeah, boat prices went nuts during the Pandemic and don't really seem to be coming down much. Two years ago I got a $6,000 offer on my Kingfisher. I should have taken it! :ROFLMAO:

    Trying to find a location in the Gulf

    I think I've figured it out! :D This new pic shows that the vertical rectangle is about 12 miles from Hudson Beach at about 285 degrees on the compass. And the depth is 2.2, which is 2.2 Fathoms, or about 13 feet. So distance, direction and depth all add up. And the chart symbol for that...

    Trying to find a location in the Gulf

    I found that the parallelogram is actually a floating buoy, so that's not it. Am now searching for the rectangle with the triangle on top. I know it's a light of some type. This stuff isn't needed on the 450 acre bass lake where I fish! :LOL:

    Trying to find a location in the Gulf

    Okay, I got an online NOAA chart to work. (Finally.) :sneaky: I see a rectangular mark by the left green line arrow. It's about the right distance. I'm searching to find out what it means. Anybody know off the top of their head? 🤷‍♂️ And the depth marks on the chart are throwing me off...

    Nobody fishing?

    We took my 80 y.o. neighbor buddy fishing at our favorite place the night before last. He had a great time; hooked several nice bass but we weren't able to land them. The coolest one was when it jumped right over the stair railing! o_O:ROFLMAO: I got a small bass and my wife hooked a couple...

    Maybe the cans were from the folks that designed it? :LOL:
