1993 Starflite Restro

[renegade]

I plan on installing windshield next. I had the glass tinted and all the frame powder coated black. Hope have everything except the steering, gauges and the interior completed by end of this weekend.
I have a complete new interior from Checkmate. Still need to order hydralic steering and waiting on gauges to come in.

Great job. That paint job looks great. Cant wait to see the new interior. When You order the new interior do they send it with new wood and all?

 

[renegade]

Yes, comes with everything but the pedestals.

It's a 2.5 power head, should be around 240 hp. Bought it from Carys go fast power heads in Texas. It's on a 10" set back, Bobs hydraulic jack plate. The first prop I am going to try is a 24p chopper.
I don't have the interior installed yet, will take pics when I do.

Very nice. If you don't top 70mph with that combo, I'll be quite surprised.

curious to know ,what does a complete new interior for a starflite from the factory cost??

You should call Mike at checkmate for interior cost. I bought the interior that was posted on here. Someone had it made and never picked it up. I am very happy with it and it is well worth the money.

Last year my interior cost just over $1800.00 plus shipping.
New buckets, new rear seat assembly and the 2 side panels for the rear seat.

I think it will be a little higher this year.

Don't wait til spring to order them. Once they start building boats the parts orders move to the back of the line. If you order them in the winter you will get them in a month. I ordered mine in April and they MIGHT be done late this week. I knew this going in and am not complaining, just FYI.

Once again, just wanted to say how happy I am to see what a great job you are doing on her. I know my son, who use to own it, is on all the great work you are doing. Can't wait to see her when you are finished.

 

[gamblerr]

I tried to post a picture of her before you started the restore, but it did not work. Not sure what went wrong.
