'62 Starcraft Project

[Rick K]

Finally was able to get some pics of this little scow. It's actually in pretty decent shape for being 41 years old.<br /><br />Can't quite figure out how to get the pics in with the post, so here's the pics on the site.<br /><br />I figure I'll go with a white hull/maroon topside, replace the seats to match, sanblast/paint the trailer, and I'll be done...<br /><br /> http://photos.yahoo.com/chevydriver37

Yup, that's classic Starcraft. Nice hull.<br /><br />You can really modernize that boat, if that's what you're after, by putting in a floor and losing that plexiglass windshield.<br /><br />Here's some pic's of my last aluminum project boat.<br /><br /> http://mypeoplepc.com/members/djohns19/djohns19/

Thanks Djohns19,<br /><br />I took a look at your boat a few weeks ago, which was one of the reasons I got hooked on fixing this thing up...<br /><br />Someone else had suggested losing the windshield as well. I'll be using this boat exclusively on the Erie Canal, so probably don't have a need for it anyhow.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Rick K

Just saw your post. I'm restoring a 63 14' Starcraft. I've wire brushed the alumimum bottom and am ready to paint. What kind of paint did you use? Did you have to use a primer? I'm in Florida and this boat will be used for both fresh and salt water.
