    1987 Starcraft Islander Restoration

    It's a Starcraft Islander... aluminum boat. No drilling stringers! ;)

    Can anyone ID this Mariner?

    Thanks guys! 🙂 We found the welch plug with the serial number. I'll be looking up parts this evening. (y) My buddy was there this morning and fired up the motor with one pull. 😃 I'd suggested that he clean the motor, so he added some Dawn to the water tub! 🤣 Just kidding! He added...

    Can anyone ID this Mariner?

    Buddy of mine picked it up and already has it running. He asked me to look up some parts for him and I'd like to know what it is besides a 25HP Mariner. Year? Model? And so on... :unsure: :cool: Thanks! :) The ID sticker isn't much help. :rolleyes:

    Nobody fishing?

    Thanks, we did get back out there this morning. 😊 We arrived at the boat ramp after daybreak but before sunrise. I'd like to have been there earlier. Maybe next time. I couldn't make up my mind which pix to use, so I just shoved them all together into a video! 🤣

    Nobody fishing?

    The boy and I got back on the water this morning and had some success! It's been a long, long time. ;) We're going back out tomorrow and did some preps tonight in order to get ready. The bass I caught didn't fit in our little cooler, so we bought a simple aerator pump and put it into a...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I used roll-on porch paint on the sides of my Kingfisher hull (deck too) and it has held up well. Easy to apply and durable. Touch-ups are easy as well. Sand/scuff a little, then repaint.

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Nice chub! :cool: I have one of those HF shop cranes and it worked very well moving motors around and getting the 50HP Merc mounted on the Kingfisher. (y) As for the plywood, yeahhh... we've all BTDT. On my KF, I replaced the rotted plywood console with 1/4" aluminum. :sneaky: Keep...

    Is this old Sylvan a good deal?

    I see that the listing has been deleted. Did you buy it? :unsure:

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

    It was indeed. And it might not be over yet. I dunno, maybe I wasn't strong enough to resist my family's wishes to keep the KF. I'm not sure that my health is good enough to own a boat, much less two. I spent the entire 4th of July in the ER. Again. ☹️:sick: Might be time to let the boats...

    Garmin transducer

    The picture says they're 8mm long with 4mm diameter. Looks like they're maybe cap screws?

    Is this steam normal.. 1984 50hp Mercury

    My 1985 50HP Mercury doesn't do that. :unsure: Check at 0:54 seconds in.

    Is this old Sylvan a good deal?

    I have a 50HP Mercury on my 16 ft Starcraft Kingfisher and it's quite adequate. I'd expect the 45HP Mariner to be okay, even if not a speed demon. Wouldn't surprise me if it could go 25-30MPH. :cool:

    Is this old Sylvan a good deal?

    Looks fair to me.

    Got the wife a new RAV4 Prime

    I'm liking the new Genesis GV60. It's not available yet and the price is likely going to be out of my reach, but I'm a fan so far. (y) :) https://www.motor1.com/news/512686/genesis-gv60-new-spy-photos/

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

    Well, I almost sold the KF yesterday! 😲 Almost. 🤓 I had a contractor come over about my home project and he really liked the boat. I showed him some of the restoration pix and the splash video. Then he suddenly offered me $6,000! :eek: But, my wife and the boy made it absolutely clear in...

    Decent reels??

    Maybe get a used rig from Goodwill, etc.? I've seen rods & reels for just a couple bucks there. Might get a good reel attached to a bad rod for cheap.
