    '68 Starcraft Remodel

    I'm almost ready for the water. just a few minor details left. I tried this question in the Johnson motor section and the electrical section without much luck. I thought I'd check here for some advice. I have a '63 Johnson 40 hp electric start that is hanging on the back of the boat now and I...

    I have recently purchased a 1968 16' Starcraft aluminum boat. The previous owner built storage compartments front and rear and installed a windshield that doesn't look factory to me.
