No kidding. I'm sure it would be spectacular for 3800.

I'm probably going to do some myself and take the back to back lounge seats to a pro.

I think I'm looking at an upholstery vacation now

wow thats nuts but i have to say it is a lot of work much more than
i expected.
did you keep your old covers to use as patterns? not that i want the job but it makes it much easier.
I just got back from b.c. and i was talking to a guy who got
a cover made at a place in kamloops and the guy is very low in his prices
less than half what the other 3 places charge and from what i seen his work is top notch!
there is 4 places in kamloops so he wouldnt be hard to find.
If i could remember the name of the place i would say but seeing i didnt
need his services it didnt stay in my memory.
I had a great trip btw boat worked great.
upper part of the omc leg oil went milky

Just got back from Kelowna and Kamloops this weekend. I was looking at some lakes with trophy rainbows as well.

I should spend half on upholstery and the other half on fishing and hanging out and would be no worse off.

I did a bit more wood work cutting the wood from the engine cover and cut a dado for the step to fit in my front ladder area.

Tomorrow I'll epoxy the ladder area together many maybe start assembly of the doghouse. I may wait until Monday when my neighbor comes back to borrow his brad nailer. So much easier to tack everything together with that thing.

Pics coming soon.

Raining like a bugger here. I did get the front ladder area assembled and cut the opening for the waterproof stereo housing.

I'll see if I can finish the doghouse assembly in the next day or so and post a ton of pics.

My stupid Blackberry has a bunch of pics on it but is not working with the USB cable from any pc. I may just pull the card to get the pics off and start using a proper camera that is sitting on my desk

Re: 77 Starcraft Holiday 18 i/o - rebuild with pics galore

Still raining here. Got the doghouse epoxied and brad nailed together. Also the Stoltz rollers and fish finder came in.

If it's dry enough then nothing but pics coming...

I ordered my Durabak uv smooth and Durabak uv textured, etc and am had it shipped to Vegasphotoman. I also had a 17x20 inch inch piece of black starboard sent to his house as well.

I"ll be in Vegas in a week or so and will have to repay him with beer.

Re: 77 Starcraft Holiday 18 i/o - rebuild with pics galore

I wish I'd thought of that...ship stuff to Vegas and get a trip to sin city out of the deal

Make sure you have some fun on that Sleekcraft out there, I'm sure Paul is a gracious host

Maybe he can help with the photos being a professional and all

Re: 77 Starcraft Holiday 18 i/o - rebuild with pics galore

I'm in Honolulu now for another week...checking out other people's boats. There a place called Charley's Fishing supply that has the coolest fishing related stuff...all in stainless steel. The prices are good as well. Picked up a stainless steel dive knife and holster for 20.00 that will be going in the baot.

I've got a copy of Hawaii boats and yachts in my hand. Kind of like a bargainfinder for boats.

Might stop by some marine supply shops and take some pics of any cool stuff I can find.

I'll definately get Paul to take some pics. I'll take him for a spin to some boating supply shops if he want's to check them out and feed him some beer for his troubles.

Sounds rough, you going to make it?

Re: 77 Starcraft Holiday 18 i/o - rebuild with pics galore

Just had a pitcher of beer watching the UFC fights in a bar. Life is rough. Trying to power through a large pepperoni pizza and chicken wings. Don't know if I'll have room for dessert.

Might need a nap

Life sometimes, just isn't fair. I hope you can make it through.
Enjoy yourself.

Hey Sprinter... as you're half way between your place and mine - why don't you head south-west? Bring the remains of the pizza and wings, plus the beer and I'll provide the boat and the bait!

Enjoy the Pacific and watch out for those big pipes!
