Read carefully please, 1966 Starcraft 18 foot deep v bow fiberglass I have had this boat over thirty years and have been screwed more times than I care to count. I gutted the interior floors included.Put all new floor in treated wood soaked bottom side in Thompson's water seal top side fiber glassed. It was done right and will last forever.New carpet on floor still basically perfect, side panels new carpet basically perfect.Inside of haul painted color matched to carpet all like a chocolate brown.Had seats upholstered same brown with butter scotch center panels burnt orange piping to separate these panels.My neighbors cat got in under cover scratched front seats took to H&H handy craft in Cerro Gordo IL to re upholstered they sit on them forever then went out of business were not kind enough to tell me and just pitched them thus no front seats. A neighbor Jeff Stoner of Smith tire in Decatur screwed me decided he bought the boat (he had not) it was winterized when he took it he choose not to tell me he ran water through it.Thus winter comes cracked the bottom section of a freshly rebuilt lower unit.Also cracked the block of a freshly rebuilt mercruiser 165 straight six it was pinned and repaired however irrelevant because I am removing the motor. Why ? It is a good Chevy straight six 250 I have a new freshly machined block and am going to transfer the parts from motor in boat into new block.Either use in a rat rod or sell separately.Why because I have the skills to do so and the motor will sell for 1800.00-2000.00 by itself more than the boat would sell for with the motor in it built.If you want the motor in it with new block it will cost far...........more and frankly unless you have the skills to do the work not worth it.I had a cover custom made in Arthur paid over a grand for the cover same chocolate brown to match everything else.It has sit still as solid as new however some of stitching has came out and needs re stitched. Understand the way Amish make these there are no open seams it is a solid peace of material they fold it and stitch thus seams needing re done DOES NOT EQUATE TO HOLES.Steering,shifter cables etc. fine. New Firestone tires all the way around (4) including a fifth spare on trailer spare mount.Back of boat lettered the radical one in old English style lettering to match interior brown gold shadowing burnt orange pin stripes to match piping on seats.I have the skills I could easily wip this into shape new lower section of lower unit on eBay no problem.Switch motor components into new block build or buy new front seats.I simply have no desire to I have had it for well over 30 years have no interest in ANY boats. Of what use is it ? The obvious do what I just mentioned or use trailer for another application.Scrap the trailer for scrap metal sell rims with new tires.Use cover on another boat sell it.Sell the top section of the lower unit.There is money to be made or parts to be used I will sell it for less than the top of the lower unit would sell for on eBay I just don't have the time. I simply want it GONE. It also has anchor,ski's and a few thing in it under cover.So make and offer lets talk !
