    68 Offshore restoration

    Spring has a way of lighting a fire under us boat guys. You may want to redesign that hatch to be recessed, less things to trip on the better.

    I have a 1976 22ft StarCraft Holliday outboard question.

    My 22' Islander is rated for 240 HP.

    68 Offshore restoration

    Moving towards the finish line and some nice carpet work, that stuff isn't easy to work with. For sure you'll want to box up the batteries and anchor them down

    New Journey

    Oh yeah that was a dandy buck, bigger than any I've ever taken. No such thing as overkill for a truck.

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I used 1/4" batting on my SS panels just to add some cushion for for the vinyl after seeing how easy it gets injured on my Chief with just the plywood underneath.

    1974 Chieftain 25 "Adventurer" Restoration

    Yeah and I still have the plans for it too. A = 24" B = 24" C = 21" D = 4 1/4" A & B are 2"x2" thin wall box tubing. B should have a straight cut on one end and a slight angle cut on the other. I think that angle is somewhere in the 15-17 degree range. The exact location for the forward legs...

    Not sure if I showed you the drive cart I welded up, makes my yearly drive pull job a breeze.

    1974 Chieftain 25 "Adventurer" Restoration

    Looking good on the drive clean up although that chipped skeg stirs something in my brain. I used a saw and belt sander to smooth the OCD out of my broke skeg. :sneaky: :ROFLMAO:

    1984 starcraft islander

    All the links were knocked out of whack when the new forum came online. You can still see the thread name and member to manually search it but the link will take you off to a totally different thread.

    1978 Islander 22 I/O

    Don't worry about using fine steel wire wheels on your Al clean up. Just think about all the steel that Al has come in contact with from being dug out as ore in a bucket to a yuke, rail car, smelter in an iron pot, poured into a steel mold, run through steel rollers, extruders, steel sheers to...

    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    Amazes me the lengths people will go to with goop to try and seal out the water. I had to scrape off a couple tubes of sillycone from an OB Merc motor mount and it's mounting holes as if that was going to stop it up.

    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    Yeah you could use a hose with a funnel and still be able to poke the crud out. I still would prefer the brass petcocks with the removable wing nut center. My luck that lever on the ball valve would get bumped, open up, flood the boat and starve the motor of water.
