Your boy probably looks better off than you do, Sig. Kids handle this stuff like it's nothin'.

Nice rail and puttin' da cover on. :thumb:

Hey I ran into another Starcraft today. An 87 16' SuperFisherman. Kinda like a fishing oriented SS with a livewell and rod holders. That's #4 including mine.

Are those the T-bolts, Sig? I did find somewhere to get those, but of course it's buried somewhere in my PC. :facepalm:

I keep telling all these SC'ers about the Starmada :D But I don't know if any have shown up. :blue:

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

That reminds me I need some T bolts too but not steel ones like SC originally put in mine... Not sure how you can get a link to us without the heavy censor filter but include me in the PM if you find the link.

It sounds like something that can be fabbed out of ss screws and a grinder...grind until the head fits into the channel?

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Well as good as Thursday night went this weekend was nothing but havoc.

Took me three hours to get the fuel tank in and it still isn't right, overdrilled the hole for the vent hose, bought bolts that were to small to go from transom to knee brace, broke the starboard windshield which was in pieces anyways. Ohhh yeah I wanted to clean up and paint the trim on the side of the boat so I taped it off for a regular rattle can after I bought high flow rattle cans I discovered high flow rattle cans actually mean insane amounts of overspray.

Anyways I am done whining I will cut new plexi for the windshield tomorrow will finish the seat bases as well hoping to get my new steering stuff tomorrow as well. I really shouldn't do it but I am mounting the rear bensch tomorrow as well I need to see some positive forward movement.

JB got your T-bolts.

We gotta talk to Dozer. He was supposed to kick that Murphy dude down to the glasser end of the drydock. All he did was shove him down a few stalls and from the sounds of it, clone him to boot. He'll probably say he is still recovering and hasn't got his strength back yet. Murph hit a few places today. :facepalm:

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Looks awesome Sig. Almost done! I had a similar idea for my rear seating area. I bought a plank of cedar and planned on a nice bench that flips open for access to tanks and battery, pad the front of the splash well and call it a day. What's the secret for the fantastic paint job? I understand prep is key but I have never been able to get a "factory-like" shine that you have.

I think we can add Mikey to the list, too. Even though his is 100% PO induced. :facepalm:

I did price some SS T-bolts. I fainted at the cost. You could probably grab some regular SS bolts at the big box and make 'em your self with a grinder.

How's your son doing? Is he still getting all the ice cream he wants? Or is that only for tonsils?
