Nice work. =D>

Thanks! The cubby is my favorite part of the whole boat. haha! Tusker, I think it says Zinnser Strip Fast?

Thanks guys. :) Unfortunately, hubby has a phobia of the water. He doesn't go on the ice with me, either. I think he'd go if I had one of the new super wide boats, but I don't think I want one of those quite yet. Its ok, though, we do everything else together, so I can give him a "pass" on...

I have my bow done with pink Lost Camo hydrodip. I love it.

I used a wire cup brush on the hard to reach areas of my boat & had no problems. Left a nice surface for primer, too.

Thanks! I used Rustoleum Oil based paint and Rustoleum aluminum primer. The hardware guy recommended them, so I thought I'd give them a try. I used a 4" fine foam roller and a quality 2" sash brush to cut in the edges. I hate masking & I'm much better at just cutting the edges in. :)

Thank you! Yep, the tank is a 3 gallon metal one under the back deck. I'll be putting in the vent dealies this spring. I left the small hatch behind my seat open about 2" or so last summer. Isn't it the cutest little tank? :D

Wow. Those are some big holes. I don't know the "right" way to fix them, but if it were mine, I think I'd rivit some new same gauge tin on the back. I'd put a bead of 3M marine sealer around the perimeter of the patch before putting it on, as well as around each hole. Then I'd fill the holes...

That's a cool looking motor. I've never seen one like that before.

One last detail...The cute little motor! I modeled my decals off the 2012 E-tec. I thought it'd kind of funny; a '68 E-tec. :D And ready for an evening on the lake at last. Check out my trophy 'gill! lol! As you can see, there are still a couple details that need...

Thanks! :) Good luck keeping your '57 going. That's awesome you are keeping an older boat alive. Love it! Starting the carpet. I bought it from Menard's. I know loop pyle isn't ideal, but the price was right. Especially for a project I had no idea would turn out. ;) Getting the...

On to the floors... More layout: Starting the front framing: Under the floor: Front framing: Rear framing: More Cypherin'... Me cutting the trolling deck wood: A little progress: Some more head scratching about whether or not to add rod lockers...

Here is the cute little motor! Here it is after I removed the center bench. It looks pretty roomy without it. This is my prelim layout I did in Illustrator to visualize what I wanted to do. I know I put a pedestal seat mount in the back, but its just to show where a seat will go. I did the...

Hi all, I've been lurking for a while and decided to join. There is so much great user generated (real world) info here, and the positive vibe is nice. So last March, for $300 I picked up a 76 Starcraft Seascamp (I think) with a '68 Johnson 6hp that the PO said had been recently rebuilt top to...
