Picked up a 1979 Starcraft center console in December. I haven't gotten to do as much work because of the weather, but I have gotten it functional and taken it out a few times.
What I'm working with/done so far:
-18 foot center console
-1986 Evinrude 60hp VRO. I put a different fuel pump on to run premixed fuel, and got rid of the VRO all together. I rebuilt the carbs and compression is good.
-Wesco trailer. Put new wheels/tires on it to get it home and had new tires put on the old (galvanized) wheels, returned the wheels/tires I had bought to Walmart. Put new lights and rewired. Moved the winch post up a foot so the transom rests flush on the bunk boards.
-Installed 800 GPH fresh/saltwater bilge.
To do:
-Repaint
-Replace transom and floor. I'm thinking epoxy coating plywood for both and putting some kind of non slip paint on the floor.
I'll upload some pictures, does anyone know how to resize iphone pictures so they can be loaded on here?
