    PVC gutter bunk cover question

    I've heard this recommended as an alternative to carpeting the bunks but I got to thinking.... Will this still work if I plan on coating the hull in Steelflex? Does anyone else have this combination out there?

    Reinforcing stringers on older Starcraft for floor support

    Like lay it over the top of the existing stringer? I haven't​ thought of that. I figured it would be stronger to just rivet or bolt directly to the hull. Although that it more holes in the hull. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Reinforcing stringers on older Starcraft for floor support

    I've got a 1969 Starcraft that over just started work on. One of the first things I found after ripping up the old rotted floor in it is that several of the stringers have broken.

    I've got an 8hp mercury 4-stroke. It's an interestingly hull shape. Almost all of it is flat except the first few feet of bow which is v shaped. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Older jon boat repair questions... From a newbie

    The plans are to fix it up as best I can and take my kid fishing on it hehe. The bracing is definitely fiberglass, i even sanded it down on the crack to make sure. It has a Lowe Line emblem on the side next to the transom. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Older jon boat repair questions... From a newbie

    I've recently acquired a 1976 Lowe Line 14 foot jon boat. Now I'm trying to figure out exactly what I've gotten myself into. The boat has been sort of fixed and repaired over the years and I'd like to make sure it's done right, even of it means removing old fixes and reworking it. Many of...
