    I need some feedback, ideas, thoughts and whatnot. Many guys on here have HUGE workshops which allow them to store and work on their boats. Several of the shops I've seen are 5 or 6 times larger than my house! :eek: Wowsers! I, on the other hand, have zip, nada, zilch. I've learned over...

    Starcraft Garage B&S. (boat and other stuff to talk about)

    Ah yes, camping. Did that when my daughters were young. Started with tent camping but that got old pretty quickly. Skipped over the travel trailer step because I couldn't pull my boat and the trailer at the same time. So I bought a Class C RV and from that point on "roughing it" meant that...

    Starcraft Garage B&S. (boat and other stuff to talk about)

    Well, I guess I'll chime in here now. Not much else going on anyway. Basically waiting for the weather to break. Haven't been back on the water with my Kingfisher since the splash nearly a month ago. School started, my wife got a job and I've been trying to take it easy other than taking...

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    This is 100 miles from me. Would be a good candidate to replace my Kingfisher. Am concerned about that weird patch on the transom though. http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/boa/5191715855.html

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

    The battery charger arrived today, undamaged. Yay! Now we can charge the trolling motor battery any time we want and go fishing at will. :D And I got my tractor going again yesterday and decided to create a flat, level place to park the boat. Started a little grading this morning and came...

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

    Thank you, sir! The boy and I had a great time. It was nice for me to get back on the water in a boat. Hadn't done that for some 6 years or so. My wife had a good time too... BUT! She confided in me just an hour or so ago that she didn't feel very comfortable or safe in the little...

    Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

    Man, I hate to put this one on here. 22 foot Islander in good shape for $2200. If I had the extra bucks I'd be all over this thing. And my wife agrees! http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/boa/5169247360.html

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

    Didn't get any video work done today because I cut the grass and ran into more tractor issues. Tired old tin is tired old tin I guess. :rolleyes: But here are more pix of the boat on the water during the shakedown cruise. A beautiful day to be on the lake! My baby loves her new boat. A...

    Starcraft QUestion. WHat is this bracket for?

    Here's how I did it for my Kingfisher. That's 3/4 inch foam board cut into wedges. The wedges were then glued together and taped with aluminum duct tape. The blue ones are also pink but are covered with transparent blue HDPE bags to make them gasoline proof.

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

    Wow! Thank you so much! I am honored. :joyous: Yeah, that ugly monster has other kin in that water too. Didn't see any crock-a-gators while fishing yesterday but did spook one to dive while returning to the launch ramp. Pix from a prior visit at that lake... Thanks! Been 3 months...

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

    FIXED! Another buddy came over to show me something he hit with his bush hog next door to my place... pic below. :eek: While here I told him of my travails with the starter and he said "let's just go do this" and we went out and 15 minutes later it was a done deal. Ready to splash! Won't...

    Help! 8hp Johnson recoil starter rope problem

    The starting rope on my 1994 Johnson 8hp model J8RLERE outboard was frayed and needed to be replaced. I am unfamiliar with how these things work so called on my 72 y.o. buddy to give me a hand. He messes with recoil lawnmower starters all the time. We successfully removed the recoil unit and...
