Well, here it is. My first post and the beginning of my restoration. I welcome all ideas. This is my first resto and i feel i learned quite a bit from this forum. I just have to learn how to put in my pics because I've already begun.

Re: my first starcraft 160 super sport

Welcome to iboats colwllce:)

I'm working on a 16' SS myself and this site is a great source for help and ideas.

To post some pics I'd recommend uploading them to a site like flickr or photobucket, then copy and paste the image code link directly into the iboats box when you type.

Can't wait to see some photos of your boat:D

Welcome.

As you'll find out, we are junkies for pictures, the more the better.

Looks good, but resize them to the site preferred...640 x 480...theres an option spot right on photobucket and similar sites to do it for you
Don't believe you'll have to change them here if you go that route

Nice rig ya got there...just like mine only blue/blue cool:D

Try sizing the pics to medium or large size in photobucket. Maybe have to upload again to get them right. It's always a hassle until you get used to it.

What year is the boat? Looks just like my '79.

Re: my first starcraft 160 super sport

I got started 2 weeks ago and recovered the bow cushions. The staples rotted. Well.... then i installed them and took a better look around the boat(the weather finally cooperated for a day or two)

I'm sorry if the size is still to big. I'm using medium let me know and I'll use small from now on

Re: my first starcraft 160 super sport

With all the rain we had here I'm kinda at a stand still. Heck if I didn't flip the boat over I probably would've chased it down the hill!!! Nice weather coming this week though and with the time change i should get SOMETHING done this week.
