    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    A bit more done today and the Chief is now hooked up to the Trucklet and ready to take to the dust blaster guy. Tomorrow morning I'll give him a call and set an appointment. The windshield will definitely need to be replaced. Fortunately, I found a YouTube video that shows how it's done. 😏...

    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    I have been very busy, but things are sorta/kinda starting to settle down. Maybe. :rolleyes: So the boy and I got a little Chief work done today, with a little more to follow this week. The guy who was supposed to come over to give me a paint estimate a couple weeks ago never showed...

    Fixing Nicks In Aluminum Hull

    Oh, I don't drive it up on a beach or ramp anymore. Unlike some unknown previous owner(s). Strictly dockside for me. :cool: I know that there are devices/tapes/protectors available, but I don't use them.

    Fixing Nicks In Aluminum Hull

    I had the same thing on my Kingfisher and used JB WaterWeld for the repair. It's holding up well.

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    I heard an interesting statistic on a business show this morning. 25% of all luxury cars being sold now are electric. :unsure:

    Some good stuff happening

    Today we got started on the cleanup and organizing for real. And made good progress! :cool: I spent a tidy little pile a couple days ago, getting the stuff we needed. We started by clearing all the carp out of the NW corner section. I installed some L-brackets and we got the PVC pipes and...

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

    I can't help with the Nautolex, but I have some experience with the t-nuts. I mounted mine the exact same way as yours. And that turned out to be a mistake. Months later, while installing the seat bolts, several of the t-nuts pulled free of the plywood underdeck backing plate and fell into...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    It's true that range could be reduced because of towing. But that's already true of ICE powered vehicles right now. If the EV market increases enough, then charging stations should become more plentiful in time. As for the decade of the 2030s, I totally agree that it'll be interesting. And I...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    I remember in the early 80s buying my first home computer. It was mostly a novelty used for resumes and whatnot. But, I kept it and kept upgrading. In a few years I was using my home computer to do actual work related stuff. Looking back, I guess I've had a computer in my home, which...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    I'm not sure how folks with limited income can buy ICE powered cars now. 🤷‍♂️

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    To me, those classic cars are already worthless. I wouldn't buy one for any reason. But then again, I don't have a lot of surplus disposable income to fritter away, so I couldn't buy one now anyway. 🤪 Then again, even if I did have the dough, I still wouldn't buy one. I do have a friend...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    Right? Honestly, if I didn't have so many home, boat and other projects going on right now, I'd buy the mower today. Gotta keep saving my pennies for the time being though... And thinking more about it, I no longer have any ICE powered yard tools other than mowers & tractors. I sold my gas...

    How Far Can an Electric Truck Tow?

    There have always, always, always been nay-sayers. No different today. But nowadays they're called Larry. 🤪 But EV and other technologies will happen in time. It's an evolutionary process, not a switch that gets thrown and it suddenly happens overnight. We're in the early stages now, but...
