    Starcraft SS's: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat

    Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat We continue the build. The transom is now in the boat. Not too bad to put back in. I did not account for the thickness of the glass mat and resin. So the fit is very tight and needed a...

    Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Ouch, that cracked aluminum does not look good in your above post! But your fix is great! The 76 has a side plate that folds and then slides under the ribs. It looks a lot like what you did...

    Starcraft SS's: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat

    Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat The last couple of weeks have been slow. I did a few experiments to 'plug' the many holes topside. First I used a solid epoxy putty... easy to work with, but did not stand up to the 'nail...

    Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat I just finished with my first coat of paint removal from the top side. I was sanding it and then noticed a container of paint remover that I had on a shelf. As an experiment I tried it and it...

    Starcraft SS's: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat

    Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat The boat has migrated to the barn! It fits... with 18" to spare. The transum is now out. It looked bad... like carpenter ants had found a home in it for awhile. The ply had swollen so the...

    Starcraft SS's: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat

    Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat The snowstorm we had slowed things down these past couple of weeks. But boat 2 is now down to the ribs. This one took about 12 hrs. It still has some minor hardware on deck... can't seem to...

    Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Here are some pics of the tilt / lift. Taking a good look at it, it seems to be only a lift. Useful I would guess if you are fishing shallow waters. We also got the gray boat down to...

    Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat Re: Starcraft Holiday: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat To answer a question... the boats are 18 footers. Thanks for the Super Sport id...I did not know that. We took the motors off boat boats today. The 140 hp was a beast. Looking at it, it...

    Starcraft SS's: 1976 + 1982 = 1 'new' boat

    My sons showed a lot of interest in fixing up an old boat. So, after a lot of searching for 'good bones' we found 2 starcraft holiday project boats. I could not choose between them, so I got both! Interestingly enough, what one boat is missing, the other one has. I am starting this thread...
