    Humility

    Call me if that happens, I'll sign up! :ROFLMAO: I've gotta get over there. The Artemis started rollout to the pad overnight and is still live right now. 🚀👨‍🚀 I was inspired as a kid watching the Apollo Program (and Star Trek). 🙃 I was lucky enough to watch Neil Armstrong step down from...

    Pedestal Seat Base

    I used these and they work very well. (y) Unfortunately, I can't remember what they're called or where I bought them. Senioritis. :rolleyes:

    How big can I go??

    That boat is about the same size as my Kingfisher, which is rated to 50HP. It performs nicely with that size, but I'd love to bump it to a 70HP. However, that's illegal in Florida, so no joy for me. 🤪

    StarCraft kingfisher rebuild

    Yeah, delays seem to be inevitable in these restos. I'd planned on 6 months for my KF and it actually took 3 1/2 years. I'm having the same issue with my Chieftain resto right now. Ah well, such is life. 😏

    StarCraft kingfisher rebuild

    Yeah, I really wish that I'd moved the console and front casting chair farther forward. I have plenty of room up front in that chair, but it's much too crowded for the other seats. I considered front & rear casting decks but dismissed them outright because I'm 69, have health issues and am not...

    StarCraft kingfisher rebuild

    So, what are your layout plans for your KF? The boat is pretty small once seats and console are installed. There's very little storage space in my layout. I only have the two underseat lockers and honestly, they're not enough. And with the seating layout I chose, there really isn't enough...

    what is that sensor?

    Maybe disconnect it and see what warning light comes on? 🤷‍♂️

    Humility

    Ha ha ha ha! :ROFLMAO: Well, this thread is supposed to be about being humble... but I'll relate one little story. 😏 I was stationed in a "host country" and by regulation we were supposed to travel in uniform while going to and from the host country. Except for "us" guys. :p After a...

    Humility

    I wish that I could share some of the "exciting" stories... but those happened while I was in the USAF and are still classified even now. 🤪 Bwaaahaahaa! :ROFLMAO: Yeah, I hate when I miss seeing the launches. I hope to take my family over to the Cape and catch one close up in the not too...

    1973 Starcraft SuperSport 16ft. restoration questions

    Try using a heat gun with your putty knife to remove the letters. Worked for me.

    Getting out of the bay

    Ah. I'm in west central Florida, so can't help with your area. We have plenty of the shallow stuff around here too. Good luck though! :cool:

    Maybe a 3500 lb single axle trailer would work?

    Welcome! What length is your Chief? I'm currently rebuilding an 18' Chieftain myself.

    Can you be more specific about your location? Canada? UK? USA? Which state/province, etc.?

    New here and questions Starcraft SS 16

    Just like SHSU and others have said, it'll probably require more than you might think, take a lot longer and cost a lot more. That's just the way of it. When I bought our Kingfisher (link below), it wasn't running and had a number of leaks. I sold the antique motor and several other items...
