    Scan Of The Week

    OK, I stole this idea from a guy over on the G3 forums. You folks know that since buying the Liquid Limo a year ago I've been on a mission to find all things Starcraft that are out there. Specifically the 60's and early 70's. I've gathered a ton of brochures, price lists, Mercruiser info, even...

    Valve Seat Question

    OK, we're throwing this around over in the re-builds section and I thought I'd ask here since this is where those that know hang out:D I experienced a pushed out valve supposedly due to not having hardened valve seats in my 110 HP mercruiser. The folks at the machine shop did a re-build and...

    66 Starcraft Sunchief re-Build

    This will be my first attempt at restoring an old boat, so I thought I?d do a build along. That way, in exchange for providing you folks a little humor (inevitable due to my inexperience), I can ask a bunch of redundant silly questions! The boat is a 66 Starcraft Sunchief. It?s 21?7? long and...

    NB & Old Blue Go to Whitecastle

    Well I finally finished the bear hunt in British Columbia and made my way to Rockford, IL to pick up Old Blue. This boat is an 18' Starcraft Holiday model.

    Almost Paint Time

    I told you folks there were going to be a lot of questions. It's time to start thinking about prepping and painting both the hull and the top. The boat is aluminum. The existing hull paint is not in real bad shape-just a lot of scratches and a few touched up spots with who knows what. The top is...
