1971 Starcraft refit

[1Vhull]

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.

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.

Awesome work! I have a 1973 14' Starcraft mariner that looks exactly like yours. I am inspired to get back to work on it seeing your progress.
Thanks for posting. Well done.

awesome build. supposed to be picking up a very similar boat this week, also a 71', want to do a complete gut and rebuild, keeping mostly open floor plan, plan to camo it up and use it for duck hunting with a side of fishing and cruising the family around. you have alot of great ideas, wanted to keep a console and either move it way back a side or way up towards the front, not sure yet. excellent execution.
