Re: Which model rules iboats?

What I don't understand.... Why didn't he shove the fuel tank all the way forward? Less # on the stern, more # on the bow???? Probably the same weight as that block of concrete.

Playing Devil's Advocate here: My Starchief has the fuel tank amidship/back 1/2 and rides bow high so getting her down in the front (sand bags) has helped. Still looking into the wake board boat fat bags suggestion as a possible "temporary" solution so trailering tongue weight can be removed.
(and I've not been good at my cement projects anyway.)

X2!

Yah, as Don mentioned...

A few rolling waves over the bow and I'd be thinking, "Well shoot, I guess I shouldn't have poured all that concrete in there! Man, I could have just pushed the fuel tank forward and had a lot less weight in this boat."

I would have liked to see his aluminum deck go in. Aluminum decks have been very interesting to me for sure.

Those twin Johnsons are awesome!

awesome motors, si. would be a pretty awesome pricetag too, if he hadn't gotten motors for near free and had dealer-cost+10% parts. even then, i bet he has >$5K in powertrain. (sez the bottom feeder :redface

he saved a lot of $ on that ballast too compared to Deadwood's fatbags. let's hope he doesn't live (or worse yet, not) to regret that decision. i think i'll stick with ballast i could toss overboard in a pinch....

Hi new to the site. I have a post that I am working on and will get up asap. I have a 1962 Suncheif outboard that I bought new in 1963 and has been in use for the last 46 years. I know the math isn't right but when I get the post up it will work out.

Re: Which model rules iboats?

Any ideas on production numbers by model from starcraft thoughout the years? Might be interesting to overlay those numbers to the poll numbers.

So happy I bought a SC. My Dad has a Stamas, and that has to be the saddest section of this whole forum. It's threads like these that make me glad to be in the Starmada.
