    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Let there be work! :lol: The outside temp got up to a whopping 70 degrees today and I'm pumped up on 'roids and painkillers, so we did a little more paint stripping! :eek: :D We spent 3 hours working but were only able to make minor progress. Yet it is progress. :rolleyes: Most of the...

    I thought it was a tinny but now I'm not sure

    Looks to be a Crestliner Voyager Patrol Hardtop, 18 footer. Still working on the year, could be 1956 or 1957. Still researching.

    I thought it was a tinny but now I'm not sure

    Did a little bit of research this morning and found this pic. It appears to be the exact same hull like the boat I saw yesterday, minus the cabin. But I can't read what it says at the stern! :mad-new: The link was only to a pic site with no info about the boat at all.

    I thought it was a tinny but now I'm not sure

    Took the family late this afternoon to check out the sunset at a boat ramp we've not used before. On the way home we were cruising along when I noticed the orange glint of the sunset on an aluminum hull. We had to go another two miles to find a place to turn around so when I got back to the...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Yeah, I ordered better scrubber pads and received them today. Sadly, they don't match the product description and may not be heavy-duty enough. They were the second product today that didn't match the description. :grumpy:

    Winter Weather (First day of winter)

    Yeah, it was 44 here when I got up this morning. Hit 70 about 15 minutes ago but has dropped to 67 now. This pic is from our summer vacation this year. We were in Erie, PA at Presque Isle park on the lake. That exact same spot is now covered with 53" of snow and it's still falling! That makes...

    Lunch!

    Last night a buddy dropped by and gave us some venison. My wife put some in the crock pot this morning. She turned up her nose at the gamey smell, so she only prepared enough for the boy and myself. But when it was ready to eat, she bravely tasted a sample... and immediately regretted not...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Got a little more stripping done on the bow section of the boat this afternoon. We went at it in a meticulous manner and that did help. Finally got the tough stuff done. Very, very slow though. I tested with a nylon sanding wheel and a wire wheel. They badly scratched the hull and didn't...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    This afternoon the boy and I went out and did a little more stripping work. Since the scrubbies I ordered won't be here for another week, I experimented a little with one of the small ones I bought locally. It worked okay. It loaded up a bit with the goop and also scratched into the...

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    Don't know which model this is but it's 17' 6" LOA. Hull with title and matching trailer for $750. Not bad for around here. I just don't understand why folks don't CLEAN their boats before advertising them. :noidea: https://tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/bpo/d/flats-boat-project-17-6/6433557627.html

    I can't log in

    Well it certainly is interesting. As can be seen in this screenshot, I'm logged in under BWRTEMP, my "new" screen name. And yet the system is showing my posts, etc. under the regular one. I hope it all gets straightened out okay. I'm getting the shakes over here! :lol:

    This is BWR1953 The new site isn't letting me in. I saw the notice to request new password. Did that. No email was in my Inbox of record. (No, not in the Spam folder either.) Tried creating a new account with that same email address and got an error that said that the email I was trying to...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Talked to the doc this afternoon and she put me back on Prednisone. I expected that. But at least it's a lower dosage. I'll be starting low and working up if necessary. Her initial recommendation was for me to start high then taper down quickly. But that drug has destroyed me :attention: a...

    Temps are supposed to be warmer this week. I hope I'll be feeling better. Will definitely be calling the doc tomorrow.

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Guys, I'm bummed. :grumpy: The weather warmed up today so the boy and I went out to do a little more hull stripping. With very poor results. The air temp was about 70 degrees and we moved the boat out to the south side of the garage to have the sunshine warm it up. We did the same with the...
