    1996 Starcraft SL-12 dress up ideas??

    Welcome bono, thats cool starcraft makes a little rugged boat. Havent seen one that small and new on here. Lots of ideas from bigger builds can be scaled down to your boat. Main question will be what is your intended use for it? A duck boat build is much different than a bass boat build...

    Haha thanks! We are just one line different but colors look exactly the same. Since we live a few thousand miles apart, I doubt we will run into each other much n get em confused 🤪. Admiral’s happy with it and so am I!! Actually ordered decals and HIN’s last night too, along with new tow...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Blue paint is done!! (Teaser pics - tapes on) Ended up doing 4 coats... 2 was not enough and still could kind of see through it. Coat 3 was the smoothest and I probably should have stopped there. I hate being wasteful though so put on the 4th and it turned out fine. She wont win any beauty...

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    Interesting 16’ build some guys did. Outboard tiller jet with 2 pods for added floatation in the rear. AL flat deck and a small splashwell. Biggest thing though, they made the bottom of the hull flat!! A lot of work to cut up a boat like that. Not worth what they are asking imo, but some...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Good to know! Definitely oil based. Its rustoleum topside paint, just gloss white and navy blue. Spec sheet from rustoleum said full cure in 3 days but i dont believe that. I will wait til the last minute to put the motor on but im going to charge full speed ahead!! Coat #1 of blue is on...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    2nd coat of white is on! Went really well and Im pretty happy with it. The splash rail trim along the gunnel was the hardest to paint. Ended up doing it by hand with a little sponge brush, just dabbing paint under the lip and along it, not letting it puddle or drip. Sponge brush left it nice...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks @SHSU. Kinda learned the hard way last time with dry vs cure when I did the bottom and flipped it too soon. Lost a little paint on the side where the boat slid up the trailer first, and where the bow hits the bow stop. Friend winched it in too fast n tight. I read that curing take...

    First coat of white on! Took a minute to get a rhythm going again but all turned out pretty well. Tomorrow, second coat of white. Then we will see how long til the white accepts tape so i can do the blue. If youve been following along, then you may notice i switched up the paint scheme...

    1975 Starcraft SS 16' Freshen Up

    My mounting holes were the highest ones possible, and my gap was less than that. My cavitation plate? (fins) were perfectly set at the bottom of my hull too. Pics are poor but you can see it. You would need to drop your motor down and use the next hole up which would also lessen that gap on...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Wefco came through with the rub rail today! Just in time. Yesterday I picked up and ordered some remaining pieces needed for the “finish”. Also sanded the rest of the boat down to prepare it for primer. This afternoon, I washed, sprayed with vinegar water, and wiped down the boat. Let it...

    Factory made holes in keel?

    Paint probably wont keep it “water tight” since the strakes werent put on with a sealer. Mine were sealed with coat-it, the holes plugged, and water still got in. Plus im in a freezing climate so thats why I added a rear hole at the lowest drain point - wanted it completely dry. Leave em open...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Slowly chipping away at the final list. Tomorrow I will do a store run for the “remaining” pieces. Always will be 1 more thing... lol. Hoping to have her prepped, cleaned, taped, and primed too. Last 2 days ive been putting spar on the casting deck and console fronts when i have time. PO...

    Factory made holes in keel?

    @iCraft'77 The ones in the front are factory. Mine had been covered by the PO as well so I opened them back up. In freezing climates you dont want water trapped in there. Had the same thought about the rear and I drilled holes to drain the rear too. Quite a bit of water came out actually.

    1975 StarCraft Mariner build "The Unicorn"

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Sounds good @SHSU I will leave as is and paint over it as well. Worst comes to worst its just a pita to remove lol, but not impossible. Another baby step today... Putty and 5200 wasnt quite dry, so cut out my console fronts that separate the consoles from the front deck. PO only had the top...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Thanks for the refresh @Michigan Lakes . Thats exactly what I was trying to remember lol. Wish I would have just done coat-it now instead of 5200, but it may not flex enough. I really just need to protect the seam right under the motor where gas/oil would settle. I will also keep it nice...

    Beginner beginning a complete restoration - Starcraft 18

    If you want a CC it would be a lot easier to start with a mariner or supersport. Will take a ton of extra work to reinforce everything so the desired build is stable. Id remove everything carefully and at least resell, instead of hack apart a nice holiday. Once its at its bare hull you can...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Hmmmm. Ok... then how about clear seal-all over 5200? Or will paint over 5200 protect against gas/oil leaks in the splashwell? 5200 is already sealing the sw edges. I remember reading that 5200 isnt gas/oil resistant. Thats my concern.
