    Gotta get it worked on

    I was Starcraft surfin' the 'net today and found this video. Dunno if the boat belongs to someone on here but I absolutely love the song that's used for the background. Good job on the restomod too!

    Waterline on Aluminum boat

    The picture of the capacity plate shows the model number in the lower left hand corner, which is a 1996 Model 1650 MV DLX, a utility hull weighing 327 pounds empty according to NADA. http://www.nadaguides.com/Boats/1996/Starcraft-Co Weight redistribution is the first order of business in...

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

    Went out this morning and marked all of the trees that will need to be removed in order to give me some boat/truck maneuvering room as well as fit into future plans for the property. Then I broke the tractor! D'oh. My bad. Texted my buddy, who came over and took a look. Yup, broken parts...

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

    No physical work done today but I did do some computer work. It's not to scale and doesn't show everything, but it gets the point across. Talked with a guy today who gave me a different perspective on the trespasser situation. I'd explained that I completely understand why the people want to...

    What year is this old SeaKing?

    Any ideas? Looks like early 60s to me. Buddy of mine picked this up a couple days ago. 15' long, 53" beam at the widest. No HIN on the boat. Never registered. No title since it's only been used on a farm pond. Any ideas?

    My wife filed for US Citizenship today!

    I've mentioned in a couple of other posts that she's from the Philippines, so no intrusiveness. :joyous: She and her 9 y.o son positively love it here in the US! They've been here 3 1/2 years and life just keeps getting better and better for us (other than my health issues) and she is...

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

    Checked out the Chassahowitzka River today for another iboats member. Shallow!! :eek: Will definitely not return there until after Phase 2 is completed on the Kingfisher and the 50HP Mercury with a jack plate is installed. Gotta be able to run much shallower and on plane! Can't do that now...

    Cruising the Chassahowitzka River to Gulf of Mexico in Florida

    We caught a bunch of undersized Mangrove Snapper, but no keepers. Spotted a trio of Manatees! Knee deep on an Egret... the water is that shallow all the way across the river from this point on.

    Cruising the Chassahowitzka River to Gulf of Mexico in Florida

    Checked it out today. If you have an 18" draft on your Bayliner, you'll have major problems in Chassahowitzka. It's less than a foot deep in many places. I actually ran into trouble on the way back upriver with my little 16' Kingfisher which drafts less than a foot. Banged the skeg a...

    Starcraft Holiday Rebirth

    I could only get the 3/4" pink foam around here and used five 4x8 sheets for my 16' Kingfisher. I wrapped the sections towards the stern with gasoline proof trash bags as well. Looked like this:

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

    Got partial pix of a tabby cat last night. It was only 3-5' from the camera. No wonder I wasn't getting possum pix with the cam 30' - 40' away! With the slow trigger speed and reset time of this cam, things have to be "just right" in order to capture images. Reset the cam for tonight... put...

    St. Petersburg Boat Show

    Took my family down to the St. Pete boat show last weekend. Fun stuff! During this year I'd taken them to fishing shows that had boats, hunting shows with boats and indoor boat shows at the fairgrounds. They'd seen and been on fishing boats in a variety of sizes and prices. At one show...

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

    BUSTED!! Problem solved. :D In the pix the monster was still trying to dig its way out of the cage. Mean cuss. Not happy with the trail cam. It didn't capture images of the animal walking or going into the cage. It only took pix when my wife and I went out to investigate with the...
