    1984 Starcraft 16ft Glutton for Punishment [Splashed July 2019]

    Nothing exciting but figured I would post below pics. Took some water weld and JB weld to holes and bad pits. Then sanded smooth. For those wondering why i filled in the knee bracket holes, I will be adding an additional support plate and the holes on the KB were filled in by my welder. That...

    1984 Starcraft 16ft Glutton for Punishment [Splashed July 2019]

    So while under the boat, I saw the below damage on the keel. I have two spots and they both align with the keel support on the trailer. I am 99% sure the old keep support was made out of pressure treated wood and the keel just sat there soaked in saltwater. Not sure how to tackle going about...

    So that Admiral and I put in an entire weekend. Sent the kido off to the grandparents and started with a vengeance on finishing up the ribs. Happy as Hell to say that 99% of all the riveting that will need to be done has been completed. YA!!!!!!!! Still have to do a couple things like the...

    As promised here are the pics of the knee bracket and additional backer for the exterior of the hull. Still have to do some final molding of the aluminum and redrill holes, but it gets me going in the right direction On another note, do ya'll have the same drain plug design (see below)...

    Just one of many ss 160 redo,s.

    I found this one, but its not made by shorelander. Similar? Also, you ordered a gallon of Fasco, correct?

    Just one of many ss 160 redo,s.

    Thanks, that is good to know on how much Fasco will be needed. Still as thick as syrup? Maybe switch out the switch on the panel with one that has a cover

    The Admiral and I are still riveting.... Since we are doing the bottom. Built a temporary cradle to support the boat. I added some right angle supports later. I will need to add some more for additional support. A little unnerving to be underneath and seeing it sway while the admiral is...

    LOL, hoping someone with it comes on here and tells us how it is. I read that if trash gets into it, it will allow water both ways, so you have to make sure it stays clean. I like your idea of making it a habit. Was almost thinking of getting a ?Remove Before Flight? steamer to attach to the...

    Ya, but like you said you will be in a lake where at least you have some land. I don't plan on going offshore, but will defiantly be going a ways from the ramp. A trolling motor wont cut it for me to get back if it comes down to that. LOL. Maybe some oar locks and me standing up front with...

    1984 Starcraft 16ft Glutton for Punishment [Splashed July 2019]

    So I reached out to the guys at Fasco about Steel Flex as I am now heavily leaning towards using it for everything on my boat. Figured I would share their response to some of my questions about their products. For Reference: Fasco 9XN: Neutral Steel Flex (Add Color to) Fasco 9XS: Super Steel...

    1989 Starcraft FM 160 Restoration

    I tore my 1974 Evinrude (1977 power head installed) down to the casing and cleaned everything myself; however, that is an old two stroke vs your newer four stroke. If you can and have the time, ask the mechanic if you can watch and learn from him while he works on your motor. That way if you...

    1984 Starcraft 16ft Glutton for Punishment [Splashed July 2019]

    Ok, so to finalize the riveting I will have to be able to get under the boat. I thought about flipping the boat, but the bucking bar would be the wrong direction and the Admiral wouldn't be able to hold it for very long. So thought about suspending it. You can see my bad attempt at drawing...

    1985 Starcraft SS 160 with 75HP Mercury Outboard restoration and upgrades

    I wouldn't worry about it to much since you are planning on doing a rebuild this winter; however, if it really is bothering you, I would not plug the hole as it is supposed to be a safety measure. Even though you don't get a lot of splash, it only takes one time to swamp it. You may look into...

    1984 Starcraft 16ft Glutton for Punishment [Splashed July 2019]

    Sure, but don't think you could cover my fee!!!!!! LOL As WM and EZ both have said, re-riveting isn't something I would want to do again. After you do a leak test, I would move forward accordingly. From below pictures you can see how badly mine needed them. Open ended blind rivets with...
