It’s actually a 14’ but it’s really close to 15.5-16’. Nice deep sidewalls and pretty wide. The Eastwood SCT is an AWESOME machine, really love it. Trying to keep it fairly open and usable.

Got the nav lights and hatch lights together, fused, switched and in place. The battery charger cables are in place and should have the trolling motor operational in a day or so, also adding deck lights under the side rails on their own switch. Amazing how bright the LEDs are.

Seats and boat look great. The lines of that boat are awesome.

A few details and motor mount. I’m probably jumping a bit ahead by mounting up the merc but it feels good to have it on the boat and I wanted to change the oil and gear lube as well as see how it all sits with the bench seat. I also made a aluminum mount for the house battery shutoff and circuit...

A few progress photos. I’ll do a coat of epoxy on the wood, and ideally one day replace with aluminum but for now this will work. Hate adding anymore weight then needed but thanks to the welded aluminum frames I could step all the plywood down to 1/2” or less. And interior panels are just foam...

Here’s how the forward and rear deck is going, on the front I took the welded frame and set it in place then tied it down directly to the floor and foamed the front nose. I wanted as much foam as I could get up high and in the front. In between the aluminum frames I popped in 1/2 pink foam...

That is an awesome setup, I really like what you’ve got there.

I went camping this past weekend and saw to my surprise 3 star crafts of our model and age at the campground, original green paint and all being used. Pretty cool to see. Good luck on your project.

Haven’t posted in a while, I’m self employed and have been working a job that had a lot of on site work to be done. Turned into most of the summer now I guess. It’s awesome seeing everyone’s projects on this forum and have more photos to post of the odds and ends I’ve been able to work on in the...

I’m in the STL area, not many of these around here. But you are right, I love this style of boat. I really like the deep sidewalls. A lot of the local lakes are man made and very shallow and turn into the ocean with a breeze. I fished with it end of last summer into the fall and winter until...

I’ll keep posting haha, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t just being annoying on the forum. I got further on the boat, and built the jack plate. Pretty beefy but it should work well. Planning down the road when I get a bigger motor to re install the console, for now I’ll stick with the tiller.

I really love these Starcraft boats, the lines, the layout of them.. really good all purpose. I was going to run aluminum for the floor but, I put some cash into a few other less changeable aspects down the toad and installed the floor in a way that I can easily swap later. Plus with the...

Got the inside gunwales painted up, cut out the floor, epoxied the floor, riveted it down and sealed the spots where I ran rivets. Added a few mods to the trailer tongue. Also, nobody seems interested but if you are let me know. Otherwise I’ll probably stop posting here and save everyone some...

I’m looking to add hydro turf for my bot build. Still going back and fourth tho. It seams to hold up well?

Bottom paint is done, decals on, re bunked the trailer, starting to prime the inside of the boat.

One more sand and coat on the white part then the decals will be ready. Looking like a boat again. Added tie down eyes on the transom so no more tying to the handles, not that it really makes a difference I guess. Just a cleaner look.

Thank you ! This forum is great stuff.

Floor welded together, working on the casting deck, starting paint

Getting the bow supports rebuilt. Only wood I plan on going back in the boat. Using maple, seal up with epoxy.

Yeah I really love this style of boat, I wish I had the larger one like yours but even my 14’ feels a lot bigger with that boat design. I’ve seen the larger ones turned into some really cool center console designs. Cool to see another old boat getting used.
