I first saw king starboard about 30 years ago and was blown away at how awesome it is. Works better than wood, super solid, no maintenance the works. Love this stuff.
Instructions unclear - my girlfriend is very unhappy with her starboard engagement ring. Will try that JB Weld stuff next 😆🤙🏻
Lol ;)
Right on 🐸
For smaller thinner panels of “Starboard” I buy cutting boards from the discount stores. It’s the same material (HDPE) with the same textured finish and a hell of a lot cheaper.
@@RobB-vz2vo i did the same. 5 years now and its still holding.
@@RobB-vz2voTAP plastics usually sells scraps of star board cheap...in seattle it's 1.00 for any size/thickness most about large book sized but great for small projects so cheap it's practically free
Outrigger and downrigger bases....key switch....electronics base...in gunnel rod protectors....navigation lights.....floor extensions...hatch covers....antenna bases...exterior trim....dive tank holders....seat cushion bases...internal wiring switches and fuse boxes....cutting boards....pliers & boga grips....fuel water separators...external rod holder base.... and dive platforms.....Can't get enough of this stuff.....LOL!! I realize now you guyze are in KCB.....You have saved my vacation in KCB several times in the last 25 years
Excellent video and tips! Love that Starboard... we used it in the DME industry to make side panels for tilt in space pediatric wheelchairs... solid material and long life :-)
Starboard is a great product, used a full sheet (4.5 X 8) of Arctic White Starboard Anti Skid , to make a swim platform on the back of my 2455 Ceria
overlayed over my small molded platform, cut to the curve of the boat. looks great love it!
Great video. I picked this up from one of your other videos and redid my consol dash with it and it looks great. 105 adhesive works great on starboard.
Awesome video as always. King Starboard is my favorite material of all time. What you can do with it and make with it is almost endless.
For smaller thinner panels of “Starboard” I buy cutting boards from the discount stores. It’s the same material (HDPE) with the same textured finish and a hell of a lot cheaper.
You can buy all the hdpe you want from McMaster carr.
My local boat store recommended this too for small projects!
True. I’ve bought cheap 1” thick cutting boards from amazon for smaller projects in lieu of pricey Starboard. Works great!
the cutting board does NOT have UV stabilizers in it and qwill both yellow and get brittle in the sun
Marine-Tex also works great to bond starboard to fiberglass, wood, or another piece of starboard. I’ve used this without screws.
PVC board has way better bonding when scuffed. Use fiberglass resin thickened with cabosil for bonding to wood/ fiberglass / carbon fiber surfaces. Use router to round edges then lightly sand with 220 to perfection. Also can be painted with epoxy when sanded with 220. I run mechanic dept. for a world class yacht builder and we went away from starboard and now just buy 4' by 8' sheets of 1/2" and 3/4" PVC board for all our mechanical/electrical mounts. PVC board is also cheaper.
How or where can we buy pvc board,
I'd be interested in it for my boat,
Kenny Velez Home Depot sells it
I used pvc boatd from Lowe's to build a wake shaper. They had 8" and 10" nominal widths in stock. The pvc board is open cell so it floats.
@@robertnicholson771 Very nice, I was thinking about doing that myself.
Would PVC board be suitable to attach to back of a transom in a small boat, to secure a 25HP outboard motor? If so, what would I use to attach this piece to back of transom (it's aluminum, with 1.5" of plywood inside)? Thanks
The “Stern Saver” transducer mounting block is has 4 or 6 holes in the side glued to the boat to provide mechanical adhesion with a 2 part epoxy. Just fill the holes with epoxy and leave a small hump at each screw hole and push it on they have been in use for years with no issues so I think it will work ok if there's a decent texture to stick too. If you need to glue down something to make a support to screw too get a 1x2 piece of vinyl trim from HD it is also waterproof but can glued down and screwed into.
Wow you guys awesome 🤙🏻 thank you for the video it’s good to know theses things are around
I make art with starboard on boats as well as the polymarine board which is slightly more brittle.
Routing and joining are also capable with the proper rpm tools and a good idea of how to keep bits Sharp
Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your postings and all the great information you guys share. Besides being extremely informative your videos are well produced and entertaining. You guys are a must watch for the boating community! Thanks again and keep them videos coming.
Thank you!
Another tip: I too use starboard for various things, mostly marine and with my CNC machine. One thing I’ve learned is while you can buy cheaper HDPE board, Starboard is of much better quality. I’ve had cheaper HDPE pieces sag, scuff easier and it generally doesn’t look as nice.
Awesome vid Aaron! I knew about starboard, I just didn’t know how versatile it was! This video was chock full of great uses for starboard. Thanks for sharing!
If you want a treat, check out Zoffinger, that dude makes some slick stuff out of starboard!
Very cool tips and tricks. Fun little projects to get new stuff to fit in your boat
Bro you and Andy need to collaborate. Your content is better knowledge than almost anything on the tubes.
HDPE can be purchased from anyone who makes poly furniture. in Ohio and PA there are many Amish companies who use this material for out door furniture. It comes in very nice colors as well.
I just recently got into boating and being a snow plower, we have a high density plastic snow plow blades that is used for interlock driveways, instead of standard steel plow blades that is going to chip the interlock brick corners. Once these blades are worn down we just set them aside. But now I found out these can be used as an alternative for starboard. They are generally at least 1/2" thick and after fully worn down, is still at least 3 inches wide.
Nice!
It’s a great product for marine applications.
Tip: Never cross-cut any material using a table saw as seen in this video. Use a miter saw or a cross cut sled with a table saw. Very dangerous cross cutting against the fence like that.
The most dangerous part was putting a hand on each side of the piece and using the rip fence. Never use a fence while making a cross cut and only keep your hand on the piece where the miter gauge is.
@@kenk8215 SEEN A GUY IN HIGH SCHOOL zap off his fingers
Very good advice- I learned this the hard way in my 20's trying to cut a square panel on a table saw. Ended up with a bruised rib and a little meat missing from my index finger. Luckily there was no permanent damage ans all i have to remind me of it is a 1/2" long scar on my finger and no worse for wear. lesson learned.
Does hdpe actually have a “grain” direction such that there is such a thing as a cross cut?
@@datamack it does not
Great tutorial, I'm in the process of redoing my center console using starboard.
I've never used Starboard, but I use PVC boards for many things on my boat. It can be bought from the big box stores.
I bought a tackle box holder from boat outfitters .... it wasn’t cheap but high quality , used it as a chair while cutting the hole in the console , I bet it could be used as a jack stand
Dash panels, bait tank lids, cutting board replacements. I use it for everything.
great video man! Iam still waiting the How to wire your own boat video man! Almost got all my stuff to rig my project, but iam waiting that video!!
You know what’s really cool? The manufacturer of my boat (Tahoe) uses starboard for all the hatches anyways, best thing is that they are nicley CNCd with the logo on them. Nice stuff.
That part of the hull you’re securing that box to is the bulwark. The gunwale is just the top edge of the bulwark.
Notes: learn to scribe in order to match an uneven surface......It’s simple to do - every carpenter/ tiler knows how - Your Starboard pieces will match any uneven/ curved/ or intricate shape perfectly.....
Finally - running a straight, razor on edge (or run the edge through a jointer - if you have one) Razor scraping the edge of the starboard BEFORE you rout will give you a perfectly machined edge....
Best
Thank you, that would have been perfect in this video! :/ I didn't know how to scribe :( but now I do lol that's super simple!
You can also use a machinist's "deburring tool" with different cutters to finish the edges. It's a cheap tool that can make nice edges quickly with some practice.
Another great info video - glad I ran across your content thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
Starboard is amazing… It should be included in the spare parts list on all vessels!
Nice job bro! Finally I’ve found some content like yours!! Keep it up 👍
Appreciate it!
Again and again you guys put out the greatest diy boating content here on YT by far! Now I‘ll just have to get my hands on this starboard stuff here in Germany/Europe for my 1986 Sealine Conti 18 refit. If anybody knows a place to order them, the info will be highly appreciated 🙏
I love the starboard. And enjoy your videos im rebuilding my 78 rabolo cc at the moment and have learned alot
Right on!
Need to get myself some of this - cut down fabrication times for sure 👍🏻
Hi guys, l used this product to make a lid for my anchor well. It was easy to use and turned out great.
Starboard is definitely great material thanks for the great info on multiple ways to use it I especially liked the gluing to the gelcoat option. My question is where is a good place to buy starboard at a reasonable price? Thanks for any info?
Never head of it before, thanks for the Top Tip !
This stuff is awesome. Put a piece on my gunnel and use it as a cutting board
Excellent review. Thank you
Made a plug mount for the trolling motor and attached it inside the anchor compartment.
Great material and excellent video on how to make it your own!!
you can plastic weld HDPE together try melting both sides together then clamping them and the welding the seam with a plaster welding souter or blow torch with a flat edge
Amazing goop marine or regular works great to glue polyethylene just sand it well.
Don't ever think your videos are a waste of your time..... You help many of us in many ways... :-)
Thank you!
Wow, the comments are as full of great info as the vids. Only thing I've used Starboard for was the base of my homemade Stone Crab cracker. YUM
Older boats that have those swim ladders with the wood strips. Replace them with starboard.
Built an electronics box on top of an existing center console. That resulted in a storage area where the botttom was the old top of the console. Now covered.
It really is good stuff. It’s almost as dense as me !! 😛
Wouldn’t Star board become yellow by time? I would rather put nice teak lists.
Great stuff, thank you very much. I'm going to save this video.👍🏼🇺🇸🔴🔵🔴🔵
Hey Aaron
Cesar from mahimahiaddiction.
Orlando Florida, was there a week ago. I said hi.
Had Carburetor issue. Keep the Great Job.
Pay's Off in the long Run. Hard Work pays Off
Hey Cesar! It was great meeting you! Thanks for saying whats up! Sorry we couldn't help out with the carb issues :( but I'm glad you got it going!
Thanks. Got back to Orlando to my Mecanic and got it Fix the Right way. See you next year, July. Keep great Videos Coming
Try Plasticlad instead. Available in Maryland, Virginia, & North Carolina. It comes in sheets 3/8", 1/2'. 5/8", 3/4", 1' . 4X8, 4X10, &20 depending on thickness. A lot cheaper than Starboard. Basically the same stuff.
Thanks technicians Tuesday very helpful!
I am just thinking about making a wake board if it's not too heavy.
10ml thick 140 x 46 cm.
Just have to find some in Thailand.
Yes! Technicians Tuesday!
Great video! Thanks for the help
I glued a small piece to the bottom of my bilge with 4200 so I could screw a high water alarm to it. It's been holding strong!
I have a resident piece of starboard that lives on top of the soft spot by the helm! I bought the boat knowing it had a soft spot with the intention of fixing it. Five years later I’m still rocking the starboard.
Lol that's funny :)
Born Again Boating ... are you sure you don’t need a new project boat for your channel and let me buy the ocean master. 😁
I work with this material for a living and have done this for years. HDPE is weldable with a hot air gun. My boat has many things welded with this stuff.
You heat it to a temperatures where it becomes gummy/sticky before it starts getting clear. If it is so hot that it becomes clear it will NOT stick to the mating pieces.
This is true :) if it gets clear or brown, you've gone too far!
great video! How well did the JB Weld hold the starboard to fiberglass after some time and use?
Great video, but the real reason you use a flame front only for a second or 2 is to change the molecular structure of the surface. You can do testing but you don't even need to Sand the surface If you apply the flame correctly. We use 3 M5200 with great results
I used it to make a transom /splash well on my boat no more water flooding the back offshore best 150 I spent
You'd be disappointed there lol Vanessa is a dude! ;) It's his ladies account :) lol
In the cabinet industry, I use it as a sink base liner or anything that gets wet in a cabinet.
I actually used it as a base to fix my jumper seat in the rear of my sea ray sport. The seat is used as a “step” when you come up from the water and wound up breaking apart. Changed it starboard and haven’t had an issue yet.
OMG! I have some jump seat bottoms to fix too, and this comment was a game changer! I never thought about anything other than plywood to fix them with until now!
Used this stuff to re-do all the hatches and cooler covers on a 1979 mako 17' . The fake "teak" covers were a nightmare. So around when buying this stuff, I found a local place that sell it 4'x8' sheet for around $120. Vs $30 or $40 at west marine for one foot square pieces.
Local place you say?
It is indeed a great idea using PP to fix on boat but PP cannot withstand ultraviolet over time. I prefer acrylic although it is much brittle than PP. Normally area where it will be damage, I use a thicker white acrylic. Why I used acrylic because my good friend own a acrylic factory with laser cutting facility.
Awesome content! Thank you. The way you were cross cutting on the table saw is so dangerous!!! You are very skilled look at making a cross cut sled and some push sticks for the table saw. Your fingers will thank you and your cuts will be more precise!
Makes for a great fish cleaning table top.
I use a block plane on all the cut edges to remove saw marks. It makes the edges smooth like glass. Also use it to take down the corners on thin starboard. Thicker stuff gets the router.
Thanks. No one talks about the edges. I wonder if a power plane would also work.
Hey, stay awesome! Have you ever seen it used as a bow pulpit for 25 footer? thinking .75 or 1"
great video thank you !!!
Trolling motor switch, charge port, battery meter gauge, circuit breaker panel.
livescope black box / aqua vu black box panel.
Console dashboard with 6yc and Lowrance and switches
Key switch/ remote control panel
Electrical wiring “brains” access panel
I want to build a 6’ shell for rear seating/tackle storage but gonna have to save up a bit for that much starboard lol
There’s also a company that makes it yellow/red/brown/tan/blue/etc
For panels & dressy areas I'm an acrylic guy. For cabinetry/structural components i use starboard & for cleats & reinforcements, mounting blocks to fiberglass etc. I use pvc board it bonds amazingly with 5200 and you can fasten (screw) your starboard to pvc.
Also pvc board is available at HD & very light weight & inexpensive.
You know starboard bends & is rugged but if you scribe the surface or score it well enough you can snap it clean apart. You can also router the edges, sand the texture off finishing with a 600grit & polish to a smooth shiny finish.
With a gameplan, tools. determination, & creativity your possibilities are endless. Peace Y'all
Awesome comment!
Do you need to pre-treat the PVC board with heat before applying 3M 5200? Please let me know. I am interested.
You will be pulling a board out of your spleen if you use a table saw this way. Due to the acute angle, it will grab and shoot back like a bullet. Use the miter attachment made for this purpose unless you like to bleed.
Afternoon..do you think this Starboard would do me any good if I was to use it as a floor board on a boat instead of the traditional flywood then fiberglass protection ?
I'm making a table top out of Starboard. Any tips on how to scuff it up to make it not as slick?
Always looking forward "Wednesday" for the weekly video. (Australia)
Any chance for a video on, what tools & spears to be kept on the boat.
Cheers.
Aleksandar Dimitrijevic that would make a good video basic toolkit to keep on the boat
That's a good idea :) we'll keep it in mind ;)
Great video with lot's of info (as there were in the comments) but the guy cutting the piece on the table saw at 3:25 scares the crap out of me. I've learned the hard way not to hold the end (in this case the left end) on the waste side of the blade. You are inviting a pinch situation and kick-back.
How well does the Double Matt fiberglass sticks to this Starboard ...if i was to use ut for a floor board in my 22 ft boat ?
I would make a few cutting boards, from the looks of it.
Can you encapsulate starboard in fiberglass in lieu of plywood?
I used Starboard to make a custom hatch and new instrument panel.
Dude.. i am a new boat owner.. awesome.. thank you!
Glad to help!
Could you tell me what to look for on my 1999 22.5 Aqua sport explorer witch is acutely 24 ft
How thick would you use for mounting gauges ???
Re-did my rear seat and sunpad, ditched the old wood and used starboard for the base... turned out perfect and no worry of rot ever again.
I like to try this board, it looks pretty awesome
Thanks for sharing I just Subscribed
Awesome thank you!
Hi, can you paint starboard? What kind of paint you use?
I used it to replace all of the marine-grade plywood structures for the exterior upholstrey.
How is it holding up to weather vs marine grade plywood?
@@greganderson5653 there's no comparison. It will never rot. It's not as rigid as plywood but it won't crack or break either. I'd say it's about 80% as rigid
Man, I can't even swim but boy! do I love your videos
Glad you like them!
I didn’t know about this stuff thanks!
You're very welcome!
Floorboard for my Cobia Tower 😎🤙
my live changed when i discovered this stuff !
The timing is great! As I have said before, I’m going to rewire my boat soon and have been getting items together for this project. Another item I will be needing crossed off the list. Not sure if pvc board will work better for this but worth checking it out. There is not a video that you guys have put out that isn’t of some kind of help. Great work 👍👍👍👍👍. Stay safe out there! And thanks 😎
PVC board works great as well, it is a lot softer though, so if it's in a "high traffic" area, where it will be getting bumped and scratched, it will scratch a lot easier. But we use both a lot, and the PVC is way cheaper as well, which is a benefit :)
Born Again Boating, great I can use pvc for the inside of the helm to mount fuse box and shelves and starboard for outside mounting. Does starboard work as a cutting board also? Would like to make a custom one for the boat? Great help!
I recently totally gutted and fully renovated my bathroom and used starboard for exposed shelving. I also installed a garbage disposal in the shower drain just to increase resale value
Disposal in your shower drain... this Kramer?
To get rid of dead bodies?
For when he goes #2 while showering :)
Good stuff HDPE we have polycraft here in Australia have a look into it if you haven't already.
I've heard about them before, they are kind of like a Triumph here in America. They look cool, idk how well they perform, I don't know anyone that owns one though :)
There's some videos of them here on TH-cam check them out if you get a chance. I have a 5.3 warrior which I just purchased in feb and so far loving it.
Love using starborad
I cut a new dash instrument panel this spring out of starboard. The old dash had etching for the toggle switch labels. I can't find new labels for my new dash at the moment and was looking for some ideas.
Try hard plastic engraved name tags from a Staples or Office supply. You can have a color background and color font. Then you can glue them on the dash panel with JB weld.
Yeah, what @Galileo Galilee said, otherwise I would say call boatoutfitters or someone like that :) You could also etch them in, but idk how good that would look :/
A 4x8 sheet of starboard is $700. So factor THAT into your starboard project. 😅 Anyone who sells it should cut it down to the size you need, but it's still more expensive than wood. If you're worried about wood rot, then don't use softwood pine! You can build your project out of a nice hardwood, like red oak. Hardwoods don't rot. They're much more durable than softwood. Termites don't eat hardwoods. And hardwood is still cheaper than starboard. Just some food for thought.
Hdpe plastics can be expensive so i use chopping board.
