    Starcraft 21' Mariner That's no longer for sale

    I would say we had all the 2'ers and many 3's and a few 4's. All the while with my son as captain. We made it about 6 miles down the coast going no more than 10 mph. Palisades Nuke Plant Somewhere right around here is a rock pile where the Perch are supposed to hang out. We turned about...

    Starcraft 21' Mariner That's no longer for sale

    It has been a rough summer by boating standards and much else for the Osby family. I did something about that yesterday. Hooked up the boat and took my son (15) for a drive. We ended up at Lake Michigan. Launched the boat and handed over the captain duties to my son. He did a great job taking...

    On the Medalllion look at redneckjoe's project he did replace the transom. The interior of the boat was very simple. It had 2 back to back loungers. You can gleen a little more information at fiberglassics library lonestar.

    Neophyte Seeking Sage Advice and Wisdom (Please Help)

    The Larger Lone Star would be a good choice to fix up IMO. It will have a rib structure under the floor that will allow for a reasonably clean project. It would be much like Redneckjoe's project. That should be a Medallion model. Personally not a fan of Force motors but some here like...

    Ladder replacement on Hurricane Deck Boat

    Might be able to use a few tumble toggles. 1/4 x 20 x 3" should work good. Would require drilling oversized holes. Some washers or a filler to limit the movement of the threaded rod in the hole. Seal the fillers / hole. Draw it tight and cut off the excess. Cap the nut with a SS cap

    Bunk trailer?

    Ours is on a roller. Would think the overall length needed would be about 24' for the trailer. You might try pricing a new axle with E brakes to replace what you have. Might be less expensive in the long run.

    The way that storm blew through up there maybe it was a good thing that you were boatless, at least on that day.

    Starcraft Mariner (?) Identification Help

    Could not find a pic of an '80 but in '71 the Mariner didn't have a spashwell. The Star Trek V did. Also loos like a 16'er with a 50 hanging will work based on 1971 info.

    Earlier today my daughter was in a severe auto accident. She is stable in ICU at this time. She has a broken hip and leg and a bruised brain. The Doc's say she is doing good, they have her in an induced state of paralysis at this time. One of her best friends is doing better, but has 2...

    Bearing, Hubs, Breaks? Help!

    Spent a little more time on a project trailer today. It is an 18' frame dual axle trailer. When I picked it up it was in pieces and scattered about the PO's side yard. I have assembled the frame and axles, found some 5.7 x 8" tires and put those on (same size as the two that came with it). Two...

    Lone Star Medallion II 1966, Oh Scrap!

    They called it Armor - Hell, Edit - Armor - Hull. Certainly not a the best design to rebuild. This might qualify as Chieftain's Mirrorcraft equal. Not giving up ... Yet. :facepalm: I still still see a nice looking hull floating on the water.

    Lone Star Medallion II 1966, Oh Scrap!

    I spent a few hours working on sewing new canvas in the corners of my Starcraft popup camper yesterday. Broke a couple of the leather needles and ended up at a stand still because the stores were closed. Went out to the LS with my new favorite tool. A lot of chiseling, scraping, swearing and...

    Lone Star Medallion II 1966, Oh Scrap!

    I'm rescuing my thread from page 8. I have been working on her but it has been slow going. I've removed as much foam as I feel comfortable at this time I have a 3' wide by 7' long section still attached to the hull. At this time I'm leaving it in place as other work is performed. Having no...

    To the right of of the pieces marked R-1, R-2 R..... There is a double line of rivets. There is an edge to the right of those rivets. That is the seam between the bottom panel and the side panel. Gluvit seals seams like those and the seams around the transom. The some seams have a...
