    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Getting ready for StarCraft season here. No more days like this anytime soon: Batteries are wired back in to my SuperSport and I'm trying to head out for my first spring Striper trip on the Delaware River. Maybe this Saturday - watching the weather. Didn't get many updates done this winter...

    1973 starcraft ss restore in progress

    This is looking really nice and coming together quick. Keep it going this SS will be getting wet all summer! I like the bench seat boats alot. Do you have any issues with reach to the stern cleats with the bench plus splashwell taking up space?

    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    I recommend using the Old Timers Formula, then oil based primer and Rust-Oleum paint from a can. For me this came out much more durable than OTF and Spar. I think a painted floor with some sand in the mix would be good and allow for easy touch ups if needed. Especially if you plan to snap...

    2024 Starcraft Splash of the Year Champion!

    I am thinking that I need some to have some decals made up for the huge StarCraft splashwell that says "iBoats.com Restoration Forum StarCtaft Splash of the Year 202X". I knew that all that surface area would be good for something in the long run lol. Real question though am I the 2024 winner...

    2024 Starcraft Splash of the Year Champion!

    Thanks everyone for the congrats! Really appreciative of all of you and for iBoats for getting me through this project. It was totally a lot of work and my finish was pretty shoddy compared to some of the boats in the past but here we are. Goal Achieved. STARCRAFT SPLASH OF THE YEAR!

    1974 Starcraft 21’ Holiday

    Floor is looking good and so does the bilge pump install.

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I found that the windshield and dash was too low on my SuperSport to stand and drive the boat comfortably, so I created a custom riser. It's your boat - build it how you need.

    1974 Starcraft 21’ Holiday

    I made mounting plates from thin sheet aluminum that I mounted the bilge pump bases to. I then riveted the plates to the rear most rib. I attached the pic that shows these best.

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Thanks. It really has been awesome boating. The 22' really has been a good size for being out on the Delaware River, without being too big to handle as my first boat or on my own. I can't really imagine having less space. Speaking of ships, we also see lots of other cool stuff moving around...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Been awhile since I posted so here are some update pics. I couldn't be happier with the season I had with my 22' SuperSport, and the Merc 115 has been flawless for me in every way. Took her out by myself for the first time about a month ago and landed my first fish from the boat, a nice...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Photo Dump for the Starcraft boys here since the site is working again. Hydration Break had an excellent season with no serious issues to report. Looking to get another boat day or two in before the winter in PA sets in. Haven't been doing a lot of projects for incremental polishes on the boat...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Still not taking lots of pics but here are a few from the past two weeks on the water. Also from today a progress pic of the side cushions I am working on for the bow seating. White diamond vinyl is the same patterning as my blue side boards. Thinking they will turn out nice. Happy...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Another very successful boat trip on Wednesday. We covered a lot of miles starting in PA and going south on the Delaware River and then all the way across the C&D canal and a little further to the Bohemia River area and back. Three states in all will have to try to calculate the miles maybe need...

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes and the tips and advice along the way! It's a total Thanks to iBoats for giving me the inspiration to get here. Headed out next this Wednesday and will maybe remember to take my own pictures. I have to swap out my prop for a little higher pitch as I am...
