    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    I've seen pontoon decking but it also says CCA. Is CCA still a no go? Even tho I believe it rests on aluminum frame?

    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    No menards for me in tn. Be a 12 hour day for me to do that to closest one in ky. Going to call our local builders supply and see and there is an 84 lumber about 30 miles away I'll see if they can order in for me. Found a couple online but 200 plus for delivery.

    Boat budget question

    ok well good news is thus far i'm in for only $1200, including the extra motor. I think i'll need more old timers and the plywood of course so even before the boat math being implemented i'm looking good.

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    mystery solved. Got the bow deck off and all the gunk right there. I assume it was holding back water from dripping out when on the trailer. When underway it allowed to push thru.

    leaking riveted starcraft ('82 MR180)

    All that, but what I still can't wrap my head around is why it won't leak out when on the trailer. When I got home I dropped the tongue to the ground and filled up until it reached over halfway to the stern. Sat for an hour and only a couple drips from the keel drip hole. The water would...

    Yeah but those speed guys are speed guys. Plus after 3k plus miles a bunch of shoreline looks like a bunch of shoreline. We toyed with the idea using our small cruiser, good fuel burn at about 22 mph. Way faster than hull speed all the time.
