    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    Thanks. I thought 1/2" would be ok, although the keel never occurred to me, good catch! I just found out that my state (Michigan) requires registration on motorized inflatables now, that's a change from before. How do others attach or paint the registration number, and how do you attach the...

    Intex Mariner 4 modifications and Tips

    Hi all, new user. Not new to inflatables (had an old Sevylor a while ago), but new to Mariner 4. Starting out with a MK 45lb motor. Back in the day (before the internet) I made a floor for my Sevylor using 3/4" plywood. Truth is, I made a half (rear) floor out of scrap I had laying around. I...

    A word about Shiorelandr

    I posted in here a while back about the spindles on my trailer and wanted to give an update, plus kudos to Shorelandr. After looking all over the net for the correct spindle, I contacted Shorelandr. Following their instructions I took pictures and measurements and sent them along. This was on...

    Need help with Spindle

    Re: Need help with Spindle Thanks. Already have a grinder. Not sure I want to buy another spindle and experiment. The dealer warned me that the parts were special order and non-returnable. I got the part numbers directly from Shorelandr's parts manager. If they don't come through and I end up...

    Need help with Spindle

    Trying to find a spindle for a 1985 Shorelandr Challenger. I contacted the Shorelandr and they sent me the bright shiny one shown in the pic. The nasty buggered up one on the bottom is what I need. Their 'parts team' is investigating to see if they can provide the correct one. I pretty much...

    Starcraft Superstar 14 seats

    Re: Starcraft Superstar 14 seats I should probably delete everything and start over! But, so as not to create too much confusion.... Here's a picture of a boat like mine. The gunwales are lower, and the ID plate is located in the correct spot on the transom. In the first pic the ID plate is at...

    Starcraft Superstar 14 seats

    Re: Starcraft Superstar 14 seats Yes on most accounts, but the angle supports are still there. The support I'm talking about runs from the seat down to the hull on the front and back. It's a piece of aluminum with a ledge fabricated to support the seat across its length. I'll try and take some...

    On the transom, what do you call that thing made of....

    ...plywood on the exterior of the boat where the motor attaches? I bought a Starcraft Superstar 14 over the weekend. The plywood plate that goes on the outside of the transom is missing. Easy enough to make one, but I'm having difficulty figuring out what to use for a finish. Marine Spar...

    Starcraft Superstar 14 seats

    Hi. I picked up a Superstar 14 yesterday. The original seats had been removed and some 2x10 planks installed. The brackets are still there. I'd like to put it back to original. The problem is at some point the seat supports were removed. You can see where the hull was patched to close up the...

    Bow eye in aluminum row boat

    Hi. I just picked up a 15' aluminum boat. The bow eye is an old rusty eye bolt with a couple of nuts. It's loose and the original mounting hole has become enlarged. I want to replace with a proper single shank bow eye. It seems there sould be some sort of spacer or filler behind the hull to...
