I do not have any specific info., for you.

However, I know that boat well, from experience.

What do you need to know?

in 1974 the colors were gold/white. In 1975-6 they were orange/white.

They went back to gold/white in 1977. All Seventies colors.

Dear Gawd, don't repeat those. Paint the hull white and use a suitable (today) color for the accent. Grey always works.

There were several color options back in the 1970s. Best bet would be to find a 1973 Starcraft Brochure. Nate Hammond (I think he has a website somewhere) has lots of old brochures, and they also turn up on eBay from time to time. That's where I've found brochures for my boats (scanned and posted at that Starcraft Boats yahoo group: groups.yahoo.com/group/starcraft_boats/
