    **** BEES

    I can't get the spray underneath the bench seats, if you tilt the can upside down to spray up it doesnt work... the sides of the benches come down to about 8" of the floor. I was thinking of filling the boat with water but i'm not sure the trailer could handle the extra weight

    manual override has ceased up on tilt/trim unit

    Pappy if the screw is sheared off and the oring is melted, how hard is it to fix (Obviously, I'm not a mechanic. My wife came into our marriage with more tools than I,But I had alot more fishing poles) I really need the peace of mind knowing theres another option to get the motor up. Thanx Bill

It seems when i'm driving the boat i'm sitting on top of the old seats with one foot on the fl;oor and one on the...

    stupid question....

    Sorry, but I have to ask... I just bought a 1983 starcraft 18SS, it has a carpeted floor which is actually in great shape. My question is: I do alot of fishing with live or chunk bait which makes quite a mess after a day of fishing. After I wash her down where does all the mess go? into the...

    probably a dumb question but......

    I tow my 18"ss starcraft with a Honda Pilot, no problems at all, I believe the dry wgt of my boat is around 1400 lbs, add motor, fuel , etc and I'm probably towing 2000 - 2100 lbs. If your motor seems like its stressing on a pull out just put the motor in a lower gear, you'll be fine. Thats a...
