    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Weeelllllll.... Today was good and bad. I've been wanting to put the boat on the water and see if it leaks for 2 summers now. I had some time today before work to do that, so I did. My 8 year old son wanted to come along and I needed someone in the boat to look for leaks, so it worked out. Now...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I got a wild hair the other day and thought I'd hook power and ground to my truck battery to see if it would turn over. Then thought why not see if it'll try to fire? So, I hooked up power and ground, got my muffs and the garden hose out, and grabbed my 3 gallon john boat tank and hose and gave...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I have spent almost all of this evenings shift at work looking at brochures. Lol. I looks like a Mariner, SS160, Sprint, and Star Trek. I cannot zoom in the brochures with specs well enough to see measurements though.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Does anybody have the actual like Coast Guard information labels as far as weight and person capacity and horsepower ratings for our boats? I am still not 100% sure what boat I have and half of the brochures and stuff in the above sticky, aren't there anymore or don't open and most of them are...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I'll probably end up fabbing a console that way. I may just make the one in it work for the sake of getting it on the water. I've never thought about using a magnet, but it seems like no matter how much compressed air and water I send through the ribs, stuff keeps coming out. I have an ADHD/OCD...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Well, here we go again. We've had some decent weather lately and my 8 year old has been asking about getting the boat ready, so I drug it out of the backyard, up to the driveway. He helped me clean the dirt and leaves out and used an antenna to clean the drain channel under the ribs. Then he...

    Anyone have any thoughts on the trailer? I don't know anything about how a boat should sit on a trailer so I don't know if this is right or not.

    Looks like ACX can be bought cheap enough. I'll buy some and seal it and see how it goes. I'm sure it'll last several years as is.

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Well... It's me again. Lol. I have moved the boat to the backyard since the last post. still in the same condition. However, I have really had the bug to get back to working on it. I still need to work on the trailer. I am not trailer savvy, so I really do not know what to do with it other than...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    I thought about cleaning up the hull a hair more and starting some floor action today. Then, at 103 degrees outside temp with a new area record 122 degrees heat index, I decided that I would just stay inside. :ROFLMAO:

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    No recent progress. However, sitting here at work I am perusing over brochures and pictures. After all this time, I have found some decent, viewable, pictures of a 1970 SS 16 and a 1970 Mariner 16, and I do believe that my boat may in fact be a SS. The SS transom shape in the brochure and mine...

    196X Starcraft Mariner 16

    Still nothing new to report. I keep forgetting to buy a drain plug for it. It is holding some water well. It has rained a lot lately and we are supposed to get up to another 7 inches of rain tonight. I could leak test it if I had a plug in it. 🤣
