    Help choose new but used.

    Hi guys, So as some of you might know me by the fact that I've restored a 1967 Starcraft in the Starcraft thread. Now since, I've got an itch to get into something bigger then a 15 footer and aluminum. I'm looking around 20-22 and fiber. Now where else would I go first but here to ask for...

    Hi guys, I'm looking at a 1973 Holiday with no compression on the outboard. Interior is ok, hull isn't the greatest. Wondering what you guys think this would be worth? or where to start?

    1967 StarCraft 15'

    OK so here's the thing.... I just might be looking at letting my 15 footer 1967 StarCraft Jet go. That's only to get something bigger. I've already had an inquiry the first time I tested her after the rebuilt but I wasn't sure what $$$ dollars wise she was worth. So if you followed any of my...

    196x Johnson 35 / 33

    I'm going to post this here also and see if anyone can help. Long story short, I restored a 1967 StarCraft with a 196x I think Johnson 33 or 35... However I'm having a hard time with wiring it. The new switch I got has 6 points, B, C, A/M, M, I and S. I've moved everything so far from old...

    1967 Starcraft Jet Rebuilding

    Re: 1967 Starcraft Jet Rebuilding Here is sort of what I mean but of course, seats on top of that backboard so that you can accommodate 5 people seating. Even the red trim on the outside gunwale works lol ... as my color will be black and red. :)

    1969-1970 Johnson 34 or 33 outboard motor

    Hi, I'm still working on learning all this stuff, I would appreciate if anyone can tell me the needed and good procedure steps to winterize my outboard. My outboard is 1969 / 1970 Johnson 33/34 with Electric start and non-oil injected (so I mix gas/oil) Thank you in advance.
