    Well it has been a while since my last post... Between a couples retreat, Hurricane Harvey, helping family with mucking out houses, office being flooded, another vacation, and working from home it has been a very busy last month. Got some time to work on the boat so progress listed below...

    20 Ft Starcraft Islander restore project

    I did some searches and the difficult part is the PB issue has caused most threads to lose their pictures.... You will need to make sure you have a knee bracket to provide additional support. Below are some pictures I got off of google as the threads had them deleted by PB. This one is...

    Took the gunwales apart last night. Glad I did, the rivets in them were falling apart/off as well. I went through and added all new rivets on the port side and will start the starboard side tonight. Thinking I will use solid rivets when I put this back together instead of the pop rivets that...

    Added Gulvit last night to the seams. First took a wire wheel to scuff up the seams and then cleaned it up. I used a couple 10 ml syringes to measure out and then apply the Gulvit in a nice bead along the seams. Went down really easy with very little waste and have about half left for a...

    Water tested this weekend, and found a couple points on seams and one or two rivets that we will re-buck. Daughter loved playing in the boat with the water and used it as a little pool. Also, swung the boat around on the driveway to move the water around to cover the seams on different sides...

    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...

    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.

    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...
