[QUOTE="Richwater, post: 458392, member: 24119"] I now have the boat that I fished in as a youth; 1973 Starcraft 14' with 9.5 Johnson. Clearly remember when neighbor/uncle brought her home, and soon we were fishing, mainly trolling for pike. Although last registration was 1998, the boat had not seen water for years prior. (This is my first boat and I do not have a lot of experience in posting on forums, please forgive my noob) [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0666.JPG"]99450._xfImport[/ATTACH] Although motor was treated well since new, I had it completely overhauled and now runs super well.[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0660.JPG"]99451._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0662.JPG"]99453._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0668.JPG"]99454._xfImport[/ATTACH] I am 6'-3" and 240 lbs. , and these mods are required both for comfort and stability: Move fuel tank to bow Remove second bench, possibly add side lockers for strength Move rear bench forward 4" and add swivel seat All bench wood needs replacing. I have read over 100 threads on this forum and have seen some great work and plan to incorporate a few into this mod., and would be a pleasure to hear some members ideas. Unfortunately, northeastern weather is moving in and I do not have warm dry space to work, so a lot of work may have to wait for spring. Gives me time to plan. [/QUOTE]
