    vinyl deck material ??

    I removed the rear deck no my Crestliner Sportfish 1750 (raised portion = rear casting deck) to replace one rotted section. At this point, I don't want to go with carpeting as it came from the factory. The boat is used mostly for tubing w/ the kids + a little fishing. In searching through old...

    115 Johnson Fast Strike Motor question

    1990 a bad year?

    Ok, I have been searching for a 16 - 18 foot O/B aluminum boat (most likely Starcraft) for (mostly) fun and fishing. Two questions come to mind in looking at a 16 foot bow rider from 1990 (not sure what model) First, given the financial problems with the company back then did boats of that era...
