I found some old pictures of the maiden voyage when I was 16.

me neither! that was hard to fit into :lol: I think I am going to put a dual battery setup in the bow this year, I got a 20hp spirit outboard but it doesn't charge my battery like the Johnson. duals I think are going to be a necessity. the 20 horse pushes this lil guy at about 27mph GPS (23...

almost time to dig this out of storage and get ready to fish this year! I need to make the rod box lid longer, and add a few other things, but this was a very comfy setup to fish from last year :D

wishing you a speedy recovery Buddy!

It floated! Everything went very well today, i really like the layout too! I hooked up on a 15" largemouth, another 14 LMB, and a very nice surprise 32" tiger muskie on a rapala. I did not have a net, however mr muskie was kind enough to leap into the boat! I think i have a new favorite lake

I cleaned up the carb and the engine runs like a top! Got the lights working and my gear loaded, im gonna drop it in the lake tomorrow mornin and see if we cant find us a fish or two! [-o< I ordered a humminbird 385 ci di finder but its not here yet, guess ill be using the old fashioned way #-o

awesome story! =D> This is the right place for aluminum boat info, It has helped me out a lot. Are you changing anything or just bringing it back to its former glory?

I replaced the water pump impeller today and fired it up, two pulls and it was running! I need to clean the carb though, it did not run great and took a lot of choke play to keep it running but its another step closer =D> .

well, I didnt take a break. :mrgreen: i added a rod locker and now, am officialy done untill i decide otherwise... basically I need to spend funds on other things to make the boat useable. but heres the pics!

Glad you found the hole, the light idea is pretty slick!

very nice! I like the livewell placement and thanks for the heads up on the plano storage. I think i may have to use a few of those on my boat.

the jeeps are definitely a hit to the wallet, I have in my collection a '46 willys, a 67' cj6, and my "not so much a jeep anymore" trail rig, 85 cj7 with a v8 chevy, 1 ton axles and 40" competition sticky tires. Heres some better daylight pics, I think this is as far as I am going to go with...

hey Y'all, Great site! My name is Justin, I live in western pennsylvania, just getting back into fishing after about 10 years of not having the time. I dug my old 14' starcraft out that i had when i was 16 and have it just about seaworthy. The Info here is invaluable! =D>

That is my '88 jeep grand wagoneer (I have a heavy jeep obsession :LOL: ), I stumbled across it last year with very minimal rust and a brand new engine, its one of the nicest rides i have owned.

well, I made a lot of progress today, hopefully i'll be on the water very soon! https://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f214/justinsbig7/7744df25.jpg then I started laying carpet The kis bet me I couldnt fit in the front compartment... they lost :lol: ran out of daylight but i am...

Thanks for the kind words! atuck593, your build is how i stumbled onto this site. I googled the model of my boat and when yours popped up i was mesmerized by the quality of your work, and the restoration of those outboards =D> . I have run this boat through some of the nastiest weather on...

Plans are: get the engine running again (ran when set in a climate controlled basement) maybe upgade to a 20hp (they raised the hp limit here in PA) new floor, carpet, rod locker, decking, etc. I got started tonight and have a floor in it now. I dont think I am going to do the decks like i did...

Hello All, my name is Justin. A little history on the boat, I bought it when i was 16, it had nothing in it, no trailer, no engine. I was making about $30 a week and had to buy gas and insurance etc. for my truck but somehow i scraped up the $175 for the boat. then, the girl I was dating at the...
