    1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console This past Saturday was a beauty for mid January in Cleveland. We hit 64 degrees, and that means I was out on the boat working hard.

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console I got my floor all primed yesterday, taking advantage of a 60 degree day in Cleveland on December 16th. I used some varnish on the edges and bottom of the floor, primed the top. I hope I am doing enough with regards to water...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console I saw these seats today on Ebay, after a little more research, I think they could work for a lean post. My lean post would be 34 inches wide, my console is 24 inches wide. Do you think that is too much of a difference? DeckMate

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console I had 4 speakers to hook up in the console. Realistically, I could only find room for two of them. I actually lost one of the speakers. For now, we'll go with two. Maybe I can run some wire up under the bow floor board to...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console Here are a few shots of the console as it stands today. The console is done from a construction point of view. Next, I'll get to using some bondo and sand paper to really smooth the thing out, then finish with a nice coat of...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console One thing I had to do was create a switch plate. The current switches didn't have a post deep enough to go through my playwood. We took some marine 1/4" and bored out the back so we can get switches in there. I saved myself...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console This weekend I was able to get down and dirty with the wiring on this boat. I got everything done and had the lights on, bilge running, and was jamming to Justin Moore on the stereo. Here is a shot of my electronics and bilge...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console Just a few pictures of another restoration we did this summer. It's a 1954 Stamas 14' plywood boat.

    Does anyone have one of these 1954 14' Stamas Plywood Boat

    My dad, uncle, and I restored our old 14' Stamas plywood boat which was sitting up on Drummond Island in Michigan for nearly 15 years. My grandpa bought this boat brand new and has been the only owner since what we believe was 1954. This boat is restored to it's original state, color and all...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console One thing I had to do was cut my postive and negative battery cables to the outboard because the rubber was dry rotted leaving exposed wire. I drove all season with it this way and it freaked me out because it sat next to the gas...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console Yesterday prior to the Browns game I had a few hours to start pulling wire through the conduit to hook up my lights, bilge, and run the main power line to the fuse box from the battery so I can start wiring my switches. I had to...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console One of the more interesting things we did was take the old windshields from the dual console set up, cut them square, cut them to size, then re-rivet them together to make one center console windshield. This worked out great and...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console After getting all the controls through the conduit (We had to cut the conduit flush with the floor because the control cables wouldn't make the bed) and splicing the ignition wire, we mounted the controls on the console. I needed...

    Re: 1972 Starcraft Super Sport 16' Conversion to Center Console In order to get the ignition and choke wiring through the conduit, I had to cut the wire about a foot and a half down from the control box. This was the only way to get it under the floor. I spliced it all back together with...
