    Ski Pylon - Wanted ....

    Ski Pylon Hi guys, I just put a new set on my Starflite. It took several tries to get the correct replacement, but I now have the correct p/n to fit the mate. The complete setup was like $150.00. Everything fit well. The support poles do need to be drilled for the pins to fit your boat. If...

    Glue / Bonding agent

    Hi, I'm currently replacing my floor and a portion of the stringers. It's an 86 Starflite. It appears to have a heavy filler-bonding material used attaching the stringers to the boat bottom and some on the plywood as well at the joints. It's all glassed over afterwards. If this is a factory...

    Types of wood

    Glue used for the floor wood I'm currently doing the same job. Upon removal of my flooring and stringers, there seemed to be a heavy whiteish glue also used then fiberglassed over. Is this what the factory uses, and if so, what is the material so I can duplicate the work? Thanks, Ron O.
