    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    A 2lb kit is enough to do the seems and rivet tails. I suggest using a syringe to lay a nice bead along the top of the seems so it can seep in between and do what its supposed to. Then you can come back along with a brush to hit the rivet tails. Also, I would recommend doing the math and...

    1978 22' V5 Super Sport CC

    Nothing like a turtle in the driveway!!! Ya, I did similar when flipping. Dad and brother helped and took under a minute to actually flip. Bummer on the corrosion. Guessing previous owner used pressure treated wood to make the bunks. The copper naphthenate will eat the aluminum and make...

    The bolted D rings will do a nice job securing the tank. Helps going straight down to the stringers. How are you running your feed hose, down the center under the deck? SHSU

    The novice build: 1968 Starcraft SuperSport V-16 "The Boat"

    From what I see you have done a good job cleaning what you have. If you want to keep the hull, I think you are at a point where you move to the next step and patch the holes. Aluminum sheet riveted to the hull back buttered with 5200 and then the interior skinned over with JB Weld, Skinning...

    Looking good. A lot of projects seems to take longer then originally planed. Our project started in March and I told the admiral I planned to have it done by July. I just didn't account it would be July 2 years later..... lol SHSU

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Are you going to check for leaks or not bother? Gluvit seems like cheap peace of mind/insurance since you already have the flooring out and only takes 30 minutes to apply. Just my 2 cents... SHSU

    Like the aluminum sheet flooring for the tank. Only concern is the foam support under it. Overtime and bouncing, wont it compress the foam thus creating less support? I am probably overthinking it since it wouldn't be a point load but that is how my mind thinks sometimes.... SHSU

    1974 Starcraft SS 22’ Transformation

    You will see a lot of guys have them. Only thing to keep in mind is not to over fill. If you start seeing grease on the interior of your wheel after an outing and you don't think your seals are bad, you are overfilling. Learned that the hard way.... That being said, I guess I would rather...

    The flooring also acts as structural. Don't think edge cedar board would do what you want. SHSU

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Very pretty!!! Will look even better once you get the blue painted as well. Trailer lights look really good. One thing I wish I had taken into account was easier swap out. I used fairly cheap Amazon specials and had to replace one light twice. While not terrible with current setup, almost...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I was able to get it to fit with a 1/4 spacer to account for the additional thickness of the floor. You can see what I did in post #645 https://forums.iboats.com/threads/1984-starcraft-16ft-glutton-for-punishment-splashed-july-2019.687763/page-33 SHSU

    1979 Starcraft 16’ SS Refresh

    Just remember we are our own greatest critics. Once in the water, nobody will see the bottom. Leave mistakes and runs to dry if already started. Come back when they are truly cured (Not just dried), sand it smooth and paint over if needed. You will do great. If not, I don't mind being a...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Mine were wavy too. I just accounted for a 1/4 of slop on each side. So that gets us around 18 inches which is what @Moserkr had as well. For depth, I think it was closer to 4 - 4 1/2. If you look at the stringers they got taller the closer you get to the Bow. Depending on the reel, you...

    I am glad my Admiral doesn't get on here much. Otherwise you would be getting me in trouble with the home projects you did. Looks really nice!!! SHSU
