    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    @Watermann has a great sticky on the main page discussing the rivets used on Starcraft. Reference there to get an idea of what you will need. As for ordering them, most guys get them from Jay-Cee. They offer a large supply of everything rivet related. https://rivetsinstock.com/ I hope your...

    1975 Starcraft SS 16' Freshen Up

    Man now I am concerned. I am going to have to take a look at it too. I did the same and sealed my fuel fill as well with 5200. Will have to keep an eye on it. Did you proactively change your 5200 or left it and will change later down the road? SHSU

    1988 Starcraft Mariner MR 220 V rebuild

    Ah, ok. Thought it was already reinstalled and working. Saw the picture of fish and figured you took it out. So any updates from the mechanic or still pending inspection? SHSU

    1975 Starcraft SS 16' Freshen Up

    Nothing like seeing screws fall out and no holding power. Sounds like you are better off then a lot of guys. I have seen pictures where its just straight mulch. I used 5200 on my project and was very liberal with it. I am not so worried about gas getting into that area/sitting. If there is...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Yep, we all have found surprise "fixes" that PO have done. With what you are showing, I would recommend taking all the flooring out and do a fresh install. The junk on the hull is leftover from the original material Starcraft put their vinyl/carpet on with. You can use a wire wheel to remove...

    1988 Starcraft Mariner MR 220 V rebuild

    Nice cooler of fish!!! Curious, why you looking to swap engines? If the 225 is working what's the need for the 250 or is performance not quite there with the 225? SHSU

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    lol, I will admit at the beginning of the project I was so wired to make everything match and show room finished. After a year, it was more of match and less show room finish. Add another year (2 years now), it was get it done right and don't worry about the cosmetics as much. Now I am glad I...

    Gift one of the projects to the grandson!!! :D Never had the issue to figure out what toy stays and what goes (don't have the room for more then then one), but don't envy having to make that decision either. SHSU

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Love the photos!!! The green is starting to grow on me too. Your buddy really did a job matching everything, even down to the calipers and differential cover. The Motor: What pitch is the prop you have on her now? I think I had a 19 and dropped it to 15. Works well to handle pulling the...

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Howdy and welcome aboard. Here is my stab at trying to answer some of your questions. The 30 that weren't properly set, can you elaborate? I am guessing you are talking about doing these with solid rivets and a dab of 5200. For foam, a lot of guys get theirs from the orange big box store...

    1985 16ss. Sylvan

    Any progress is good progress. I have said it before and I will say it again. I am so envious of ya'll that have the outdoor building space for large workshops. One day I hope to have that option. SHSU

    22' Islander rebuild

    I have a Garmin CV. Wondered if a side imaging unit would have been worth it. Would be interested to hear what you think about it once you get a chance to play around with it. Additional info, I do anchor and fish. No trolling for me. Plus I got the Garmin when Gander Mountain went out of...

    Center console project

    I will have to look at it. Its cheaper then 3M 5200 if you don't include shipping. One site showed it was $12.99 but shipping was $67. Would be interesting to see how it stands up overtime for your project. SHSU

    @jbcurt00 Looks like @Kmsp1264 hasn't been active since middle of October. Hopefully he swings by and takes a look at the chains we keep tagging him in. SHSU
