    1968 Holiday 18 Restovation

    Ok - Here is the new winter project. Picked it up Friday and took off on the 120 mile trip down the 90 - got halfway home when a bearing went (owner said they were good!). Fortunately got to a rest stop (toll road) and dropped it. Came back Saturday and spent 6 hours trying to get a fused...

    Last bit of advice needed!!

    I seem to be homing in on the new winter project - probably a Starcraft Holiday or SS - probably old - you know - $400-$800 bucks. Here is my question - are old I/O's a bottomless money pit? I probably only use the boat for 25-30 hours a year so use is not an issue. I am not scared of on OB -...

    Question about ride and size

    Well - read that title anyway you want! But - as you know I had a 16' Nassau (really a big row boat - see Avatar) with the 80 Merc. The Nassau was alos very skinny (48" beam). I also had at one time a 16' Searay that weighed about 1800 pounds. The little Nassau was no match for big waves or -...

    1966 Starcraft Nassau

    Here are some pictures of my renovated 1966 Starcraft Nassau: It had sat in a barn for 25 years and was unmolested - no holes in it for various add-ons. I gutted it; put a new floor in, new seats, new paint - looks brand new ? probably better than brand new! The Merc 80 is a little overkill ...
