Starcrafter65 Chiming In

Guys - ready to come out of hibernation....

Seats, Motor, Dash, Floor all ready for install - will post pics soon.

My 18 Holiday is empty of everything - how much does that hull weigh? I want to flip it and wondering how many arms I need to lift off trailer and flip.

We did my 18' SS fairly easily with 4 guys. We lifted it off the trailer, set in on the grass, flipped back over onto the driveway onto 3 furniture dollys and pushed it into the garage.

Sweet....I am looking forward to posting pics soon - I'll get a photobucket account. I made the seats and had them upholstered by the Amish - they look old school. Made mahogany sections for the dash, floor ready for install - got super cool horn (manual pump!) bow light (flying!) and steering wheel off ebay. Polished all the doodads and windshield redid the stairs to the bow. Need to get the hull stripped and painted then I can put it back together.

Need the FOOSE team to show up at my doorstep and do it a week.

Wouldn't that be cool if they did a boat?

I have to put the hurt on to get to tinstock!!!!

Sounds like you are ready to get after it

Can't wait to see the photos of your work. Good luck with the old rig

SC, if you plan it right, it only takes one person to flip a 18 footer. If a 50 yr old fart like me can do it I know you can. Putting it back on the trailer all nice and painted might be a different story though. Dale
