Well my old project (http://forums.iboats.com/forum/owner...ying-starcraft) was a bust. I ended up stripping her down to almost bare metal and found that around several large holes was a lot of rotten metal. It would have taken a lot of cutting and welding in patches. With what I would spend in metal I figured I could find a new boat. And that is what I did.
I happened across an ad for this gem. A week with several phone calls and tons of pictures, then 1000 miles, a day of driving, and $500 later I was backing her into my driveway.
She was in decent shape. There was a crappy tossed in transom and some worn out interior, but the hull was in good shape.This is more along the lines of what I wanted. An open bow, walk through windshield, blue paint, and an interior in need of repair. Here are some pics from the ad.
The trailer was a steal too. Lights worked when I picked her up even though the PO said they didn't and they are still working as I type. The tires were in decent shape and the bearings tight. There were ZERO issues pulling it home.
