    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    Once a year for three days in brackish water. Would Salt-Away remove the salt from the carpet?

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    I've been really happy with my beater. It's not pretty, but it does the job and doesn't leak one bit. . I plan on keeping it ugly but safe, solid, and reliable. . The keel and bunk rollers had worn out so instead of replacing them I researched and learned that bunks would give my riveted boat...

    Bottom Bunks and Rust-Oleum Paintjob

    I did, Majic, but I think it was bad.

    Bottom Bunks and Rust-Oleum Paintjob

    Doing research I found that marine carpet specifically for bunks is supposed to be the best for painted boats. Of three recommended brands I went with Cuda. https://a.co/d/05n0t6gE

    This is how far I've gotten with my conversion from all rollers.

    Bottom Bunks and Rust-Oleum Paintjob

    Any recommendations for a surface material for trailer bunk boards that support the bottom of a StarCraft boat that is kind to a Rust-Oleum paint job? . Has carpet been working out good for you, or is there another product that you have had good success with - that's been easy on a Rust-Oleum...

    Stock Windshield Height?

    Thanks, I've done that on several pictures of 18 foot StarCrafts. I have AutoCad, so I imported and scaled the images. . Yes, 17-18 inches is about it.

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I know my boat is kinda a hack job, but it's safe and doesn't leak a drop, and catches fish. 😁 I like it ugly.😁

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I ended up selling this windshield because I couldn't get it to match up to the Alumaweld enclosure I got. I'm currently building my windshield frame out of wood.

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I'm trying to mock up (retrofit) an Alumaweld top I got for $100. I want to find a balance between a reasonable windshield height and not so much that I get blown around by the wind. I'm building it to be easily removed because most my fishing I do with no windshield. It looks I'm going to...

    Stock Windshield Height?

    Perhaps another could check theirs ? Preferably an 18 footer. Just vertically straight up from the dash to the top of the windshield.

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I'm coming back around to this question again. If was to estimate, I'd guess 18 inches. I know... I should have measured mine while I still had it. Could someone measure their 18 foot StarCraft windshield height straight up vertically from the dash?

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    Good question. When I measured it with me on the bow it was about 29 inches. Then I got out and measured it with me on the dock and I got the 35 inches.

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    I took my boat to the river. It's 35 inches from the top of the bow surface to the water.

    Thanks! What made you choose the Terrova over the Powerdrive?

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    I know I should know, but I'm going to take my boat out today just to put it in the water to take a measurement to the water line at the bow. I may be surprised, but I'm thinking for semi rough water, I'm going to need 60 inches to keep the lower unit submerged. I'll post back.
