So, I've got this spare hull......

[Tacklewasher]

Been thinking, I've got a spare Starcraft hull. Yeah the transom metal is shot, but surely there is some way to use it on my current Starcraft hull.....


An extension?

A widening?

Double hull like an oil tanker???

C'mon guys. I need some ideas here. Oops! is just about done his project and we need something besides the Scarab to keep us going this winter...

Re: So, I've got this spare hull......

Oh for crying out loud, stop being so reasonable.

Here's an unreasonable idea. Cut the front third off of it flip it over, cut some windows in it, install frames and lexan, place it on top of your other boat, rivet it down, call it a cabin!

Don't rush things Tw. Summers are already too short without you bringing up the W word.

How about you shorten the hull by 5 feet?

Re: So, I've got this spare hull......

Cut the top 12" off the hull and rivet / weld / 5200 / PL / ducktape & baling wire it onto your existing hull. Now you have 24" of freeboard instead of 12...

How about side by side about 4' apart and make a cat hull.....put a pair of Merc 150's and charge for rides....

Weld them one on top of the other, make a hatch, pressurize it and viola you have a sub! Oh you are going to need a window or something too!

Re: So, I've got this spare hull......

Cut it apart and make it into a couch and loveseat! They do that with cars, and they sell for a lot of money, why not a boat?

Re: So, I've got this spare hull......

i say split it in two make put something inbetween and make the whole thing wider. or while in the process make it bigger too.. that would be pretty cool

 

[oops!]

Re: So, I've got this spare hull......

let me see the durn thing.....

id say weld another transom on it....and i know where there is a good 4.3 or mediocre 4 banger 4 for sale ....turn it into a tinny wake board boat and lets make some green !

Re: So, I've got this spare hull......

Oh man, whatever you decide to do, is just way too much work!
Just haul it over to one of my sisters (got 3 living there) in Westbank, i'll get a # for you, and i'll come down later this fall and haul it to a recycler near me for ya!

Re: So, I've got this spare hull......

Some ideas:

1) Floating (towable) camper

2) Flip it upside down onto a 2X4 frame - instant (custom fit) boat shelter

3) Bury 1/2 way, fill 1/2 w/ sand and add kids. Coolest sandbox in the neighborhood.

4) Viking funeral (wait, it's aluminum, nevermind)

5) Amphibious vehicle - junkyard wars style.

6) weld transom to transom w/ another Starcraft and have a HUGE canoe

7) Paint it black, add sails and cannons out the side, and a pirate flag on the mast.

Cut it in half and bolt the stern to the front of your house so it looks like an airborne boat crashing through your house.

Bury it in the ground, transom down and build a boat shrine inside of it LOL.

Suzuki Samurai! That's what I need. Run an adapter from the front driveshaft to a prop, install a twin stick shifter and be ready to troll.

Oooo.

Oooo.

The ideas are flowing now.

Weld them transom to transom and you would have the biggest canoe in the pond
