Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

[magnumdeke]

Well guys My last attempt at a resto ended ugly!!

http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=544160
So I road tripped it Saturday and came home with this!!!

Much better hull for me, has the updated support along the chine inside which should eliminate the issues I had with the 69. This will be a franken boat with parts from the 69 used, the 69 cap is in better shape so that will be mated with this hull hopefully. Last night we started demo!

More to come

Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

Cool, got after the replacement eh

All the stuff you are shooting there, very familiar to me, though yours is (was) in much better condition

I think you will find those fat stringers left behind by the blue bomber will come in really handy no matter what you do to power this boat.

Another Islander project, excellent!

Ya I think those Stringer stringers will work nice to tie that transom to the hull with some brackets. Should be mint!

Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

Ah sheesh, you had more to post. This is going to be very embarrassing for me when you float this boat and I'm still rigging my Merc. Rats

Ah well, I'll enjoy watching you smoke me

I almost pulled the trigger on a Merc 250 EFI when I was chewing on the idea of a bracket That would have been sweet

(I might have been done by now too:facepalm

Wow, that was quick, we are not used to Islander owners that make flash decisions like that, LOL
Looks like your starting out with a real good hull this time.

Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

Goodness, MD. You're in Warp Drive! The '76 looks better than the '69. You made the right decision on the old one, she was beyond hope. Now this one, WOO-HOO.

Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

Nice. No foam and templates to use. Big time savings. At this rate you'll be done in about a week

UUHHOooooo, my face is all red and splotchy from that backhand that came from waaaayyyy north of the border!!!

Man, I think we need higher fences or something

(Nice one Glen)

In my defense, my boys can't yet grab hold of the other end of anything let alone a cabin top to get it out of the way. Matter of fact, I'm still trying to help them figure out that the fly of their pants goes in the front, not the back

Mag, those stringers will be sweet to tie in a couple of knee braces n such. They will make your life so much easier vs. having to fab up a bunch of structure. That is surely the one positive thing these stringer drives leave behind

Ya I am stoked about that, the one positive of the stringer drive!!!

Well we are minus one transom, holy swiss cheese batman, FLAT HEAD SCREWS SUCK!!!!!!!!! must of been a million of them!

Not as bad as the last transom wood, some sort of a pattern

And the expected corrosion

Time to do some cleaning and see what I end up with, gonna have to weld a million holes shut and seal the stringer hole.
Glad I have some donor tin from ol 69!

Goodies

Might make a little progress this weekend

Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

Boy, look at all that fun stuff to play with!

Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

Well went nuts and decided to play carpenter, Now remember that access to tools does not make a good carpenter!! We have a full service cabinet shop at work, makes it nice to play boat builder.

We stock, sanded one side A/C exterior grade in 1/2 and 3/4"

So off to the races, started with the transom, Screwed two pieces of 3/4" together to hold them for cutting

old transom for a pattern

Missing the bottom so used the skin from ol 69 to help figure out the pattern

Layout ready to cut

 

[magnumdeke]

Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

Tools of the trade

And basic cut out

13 degree transom angle, trim the top for the deck skin to lay flat

Off to the pile it goes, will sand, and seperate the two pieces and epoxy together at a later date!!!!!
Progress

 

[magnumdeke]

Re: Magnumdekes 1976 22' Starcraft Islander

So might as well keep rolling and hammer out the floor templates
Center section of deck

laid out ready to cut, 35 degree bevel on port and starboard edges

Front piece little more to this one
