I just bought a 1966 Starcraft Arrow. Its in good shape. Its missing the trim block from the left rear corner. Anyone have any ideas on where I could find this, rare I'm sure, part? I would also like to find the Starcraft name plates. The plastic ones that are there are not in the best of shape. I had seen post for someone having these made. Are they still making them? Any help or sugestions for this endevor would be appreciated. I plan on trying to restore her to her glory. I hope to post some pics soon. Thanks

Finaly got some pics posted. I failed to take any before shots. (I was to excited about getting it fixed up and in the water). I added new seats, carpet and cleaned it up. Repaired all the bad wiring and put in new switches for the lights and pump. The trailer needs a little work. I replaced the bunk boards and ordered new keel rollers. Plans are to replaint the trailer red to match the boat. Maybe this winter I can re paint the boat. We had her in the water last weekend and no leaks. The 40hp Lark runs like a top. The electric shift is smooth as glass.

Well, pictures help the most, but you can look for your parts on sites like fiberglassics.com or ebay.

Re: Wanaboat finally gota boat!

A little tatterd around the edges but great none the less. Spent a few hours yesterday cleaning up all the wiring. Whew what a mess. If it wasnt 42 years old and dry and cracked it was bubble gummed together with lots of electrical tape. A few more small items to fix then all the wiring should be in good order. I've gotta figure out how to reduce the size of my pics so they will upload.

In this section http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?f=32 the top three threads are dedicated to pictures. Keep in mind we like 640 x 480 since it does not kill some of the page loading for most (many are still on dial up :eek: )

Re: Wanaboat finally gota boat!

You picked out some nice seats to match the boat, looks real good. Before you repaint, try to buff it first with some compound, I've seen some amazing results from people on this forum that have done it. You have nothing to loose and a whole lot to gain if it works out :cool:
