    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    That I don't know. After it cured, I smoothed it out and let it sit for quite awhile because I was working on other stuff. 🤷‍♂️

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    I had big gouges on the keel of my Kingfisher and used JB WaterWeld for repair. Worked great.

    Fishing boat with cabin.

    I just looked up the Parker Craft boats. Pretty nice.

    Very cool. I hope to take my family over to watch Artemis go up. 🚀

    Hole shot, or up easy?

    Hole shot. Ever since my first bass boat. :cool:

    1987 Mercury Classic 50 45 hp impeller

    My 1985 50HP 4 cylinder doesn't have that external linkage either. Just an alignment tube inside for the splined shift shaft.

    Humility

    Call me if that happens, I'll sign up! :ROFLMAO: I've gotta get over there. The Artemis started rollout to the pad overnight and is still live right now. 🚀👨‍🚀 I was inspired as a kid watching the Apollo Program (and Star Trek). 🙃 I was lucky enough to watch Neil Armstrong step down from...

    Pedestal Seat Base

    I used these and they work very well. (y) Unfortunately, I can't remember what they're called or where I bought them. Senioritis. :rolleyes:

    How big can I go??

    That boat is about the same size as my Kingfisher, which is rated to 50HP. It performs nicely with that size, but I'd love to bump it to a 70HP. However, that's illegal in Florida, so no joy for me. 🤪

    StarCraft kingfisher rebuild

    Yeah, delays seem to be inevitable in these restos. I'd planned on 6 months for my KF and it actually took 3 1/2 years. I'm having the same issue with my Chieftain resto right now. Ah well, such is life. 😏

    StarCraft kingfisher rebuild

    Yeah, I really wish that I'd moved the console and front casting chair farther forward. I have plenty of room up front in that chair, but it's much too crowded for the other seats. I considered front & rear casting decks but dismissed them outright because I'm 69, have health issues and am not...

    StarCraft kingfisher rebuild

    So, what are your layout plans for your KF? The boat is pretty small once seats and console are installed. There's very little storage space in my layout. I only have the two underseat lockers and honestly, they're not enough. And with the seating layout I chose, there really isn't enough...

    You have humbled me, sir. :LOL:

    what is that sensor?

    Maybe disconnect it and see what warning light comes on? 🤷‍♂️

    Humility

    Ha ha ha ha! :ROFLMAO: Well, this thread is supposed to be about being humble... but I'll relate one little story. 😏 I was stationed in a "host country" and by regulation we were supposed to travel in uniform while going to and from the host country. Except for "us" guys. :p After a...

    Humility

    I wish that I could share some of the "exciting" stories... but those happened while I was in the USAF and are still classified even now. 🤪 Bwaaahaahaa! :ROFLMAO: Yeah, I hate when I miss seeing the launches. I hope to take my family over to the Cape and catch one close up in the not too...

    Try using a heat gun with your putty knife to remove the letters. Worked for me.
