    Never thought I'd see the day...

    As of today, my only Starcraft is glass. I was cutting my grass this weekend and I had a guy stop and start asking questions about my Starchief which was sitting at the end of the driveway. I had the motor off to clean up the mounting area and to repaint the wood panel behind the motor. One...

    25hp remote to tiller conversion?

    I've been looking for a good used tiller motor for my 14' aluminum boat. I found a deal on a super clean 1987 Mercury 25hp but it don't have tiller steer. Its electric start remote control only. If I can't make it a tiller motor fairly cheaply, its of no use to me. How feasible is it to convert...

    Cabin removal on Starchief 18'?

    I've been knocking around the idea of either converting my Starchief to an open boat or buying one which I've looked at and doing the same. I love the idea of the cabin but more often than not it gets in my way being 6'6" tall, and I'd like to lighten up the boat a bit and make full use of the...

    1965 Mercury 850 Inline 6 lower unit

    I have a good running Mercury 850 from 1965, it came to me with a damaged lower unit, beyond repair. What year lower gear case can I use? I've got one from a 1979 inline 6 that appears to bolt up, it don't match the front edge just perfect but all bolts, and the shifter match up and the drive...

    22 Islander

    I took a ride last week with a buddy who's been looking for a trailer and motor for his 22' Chieftain, he told me he found a 'junk' boat with a late model motor and year old trailer and wanted me to check it out. When we got there I couldn't help but notice a rather clean 22' Islander sitting...

    Trying to ID 40hp Tohatsu

    I looked at an old boat today with what the owner says is a 1970's or so era 40hp 2 stroke twin cylinder Tohatsu. The motor has no numbers anywhere on it that I can see? The motor is dark gray with a lighter gray cover with the '40hp' logo in dark gray. The motor seems to run good, but I...

    1988 lower on 1970 40hp?

    I was given a blown up Merc 35hp which was run without oil. The power head is trashed but the rest of the motor has very low hours. I also have a 1970 Mercury 400 40hp. The two motors look very similar, same block design, same shaft length, (20"). Is this 35hp of any use to me for parts for the...

    89 Evinrude 50hp overheat alarm sounds

    I picked up a super clean 1989 Evinrude 50hp, the motor has 145 dead even compression, and looks almost new. The first thing I did was stick it in a barrel and test run it. It fires right up, idles great but after a few minutes the overheat alarm sounds. There was a good strong water stream out...

    Folding tongue kit for 2x4" tongue?

    Does anyone know of any company that makes a kit for a 2x4" tubular trailer tongue? I need to make the tongue fold to fit in the garage. If not, does anyone have any ideas on how to fabricate such a thing?

    Odd tandem axle set up

    The trailer that came under my Starcraft Capri has two independently hung axles, which are spread a bit farther apart than normal too. Both axles are fixed position, the shackle hangers are welded in place, it's got four 1,000lb springs on two one ton axles. It uses four slipper springs each...

    Prop keeps losing ring?

    What is the purpose of the converging ring on a 9.9-15hp Johnson/Evinrude prop? I've been through 4 props in as many years and the props keep losing that ring? It's listed as a separate part but no dealer has of yet been able to find me one. The props are all from OMC, and the rest of the prop...

    Possible project- Starcraft Trihull

    First off, let me say I've been lurking here and reading for quite some time. I finally signed up and this is my first post. Most of my past experience has been with aluminum boats, mostly Starcraft models, every thing from 12' up to 22' V models. I have little to no experience with fiberglass...
