Got some new paint on her. Looks like a new boat too me. :mrgreen:

My current setup is running off a single marine battery group size 29. I do not notice much current draw from the (radio). Acutally do not use a radio at all. I use a amplifier and my smart phone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GN5K650/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

Hello Scott, I used bunk brackets from Amazon.com. Just not each box has two. Also installed a new kneel rest. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AYCG3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

I love it when a plan comes together! (a-team) Ordering one part and it fixes the problem! Motor electronics are now 100%

We'll I was close, 29.5mph. The wind was bad, the lake was white capping, will try again before I make my mind up and get a real prop A SS one.

Well been playing around with the propeller pitch on Yamaha 25 with the online calculators. I ordered one....just got here today!! Need to get it in the water and give it go. Hoping for a steady speed above 30mph. Running the stock 9 7/8 x10.5 New Prop: 9.9x13

Here are the pics of the current condition of the StarChief. Areas of major Repair: 1. Transom- wood and port lower section is dented 2. Windshield - Major crack - $400-500- to have a new one made- not an option. Thinking to repair frame, tint. 3. Propeller - blades bent and missing pieces...

Many goodies!! Its like Christmas morning, I love those days!! :) Build is looking great, nice job on the deck.

Hi Marty, No worries about posting from iforms. I did see that many larger tins are on that forum. But I am going to post mine here, I think it meets this forum's criteria and my Lone Star is here as well. Just going to keep it altogether, easier to manage for me. I am just now...

Nah they are Speakers, 8" Pioneers. If I need wind in my face on the boat, I just go for a Cruise. However, that is an interesting idea/concept. Lets say they were fans and had a water cooled from the lake radiator behind them. Now that would give a cool breeze for the guy in the front...

After my 4th of July trip to Toledo Bend, I realized a need for a bigger cruising boat for the family. At first I was looking for a larger boat to put my Yamaha 25hp 4-Stroke on, you know maybe a 16 or 18 footer. The idea of having two boat rebuilds was something I was trying to avoid for the...

Wow, that came out very nice! Good to see a wood build on here, I have seen a lot of aluminum decking/framing. I like how it really comes down to the preference of the boat owner. Going to really review your post and learn a few tricks for my builds. Thanks for your hard work!

Yes this StarCraft is a diamond in the rough. I took it out over the weekend and what a head turner. Even had the ladies come over and check it out, they thought it was so cool! 8) I have my work cut out for me I will post more pics very soon. The windshield and transom are the two biggest...

Well I needed a bigger boat for the family. Found a 1963 StarCraft StarChief for $800 bucks. So now I will two boat projects going on at the same time.

Wow very nice catch! Great looking Bass... [-o< =D> :shock:
