Thank you lckstckn2smknbrls. I wanted to be sure that they were supposed to fit like that. I would imagine if the rear seal sat flush with that part of the axle, the two metals would grind against each other and burn a hole in the seal. Thanks again everyone. Love this site!!! =D>

Yes, both hubs are fitting the exact same way. Below are some pictures of the spindle, along with a pen pointing at the different parts of the spindle with exact measurements. I used a digital caliper to measure all of the diameters. The rear seal is sitting flush with the hub on both of the...

No, I didn't press out the races. Everything was in great shape. No wear on the races or the bearings. The seals in the back of the hub were great too, no signs of dry rot or anything. The trailer has worked great for a year, with absolutely know problems. However I think the hubs or bearings...

I recently started to pull off the hubs and bearings to my boat trailer to repack and replace the bearings if they needed it. Before I greased and reassembled everything I did a test fit without the grease, and noticed a gap between the back of the hub and the trailer axle. If I tighten the...

Looks just like mine. I haven't gotten my title back yet, but if you look at my link, another guy on here said it's a 1967. He has a pic of his boat on the link as well. Might have to copy and paste it, not sure how to make it a link. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19758

Just changed the title to spark more interest. I know everyone wants pics! :lol:

O.k. folks, finally have some time to post some pics, here we go. Here she is as I first started sanding. Finally done sanding after well over 15 hours into it. The primer color towards the top of the boat, and the final color on the bottom. It's a metallic silver, so it looks weathered...

Well I finally got started on the boat tonight. Pulled the transom wood out and found a few "extra" holes. Nothing bigger than wood screws. They were up high on the transom, but I decided to plug them with JB marine weld anyways. After pulling the deck out I did find a patch job on the bottom of...

I play bass, and a little guitar myself. Mostly heavy metal. You know, slayer, megadeth, black sabbath, and of course Iron Maiden rocks!!!!

I'd check craigslist.com frequently. For $1200 you can find a really nice set up, boat, motor and trailer. Just make sure you check it all out before buying. Make sure they have titles for everything too, makes life a lot easier.

Thanks atuck! I was thinking it was early 70's. But all the pics I've seen of 70's models have the "dip" in the transom, and four benches. Mine is straight across, and only has three benches. I'm getting the seller to sign the title search tonight so I can begin the fun of paperwork!! Oh, and...

O.k. one more try for the pics. Think I got it. Pretty good pics from my droid, I'm quite surprised. So I think I kind of screwed myself on the boat. The guy I bought it from, had a title for the trailer but not the boat. I thought no big deal. He told me that the previous owner is now deceased...

O.k. Nothing. I need to contact photo bucket. I can see my pictures when they are on the "edit" screen. But they just show up as an "frame" when they're in the general viewing area. Not sure what's going on.

O.k. Hopefully this works with the photos.

Hi everyone, new member with my first post. I recently picked up a boat and trailer package for $500. Trailer had a title but the boat didn't. I know its a starcraft, but I'm not sure of the year or make. Maybe someone can help. The hull itself is in great shape. Filled with rain water and...
