Ryan look through some of the completed Starcraft restorations and you will get a feel for the transom replacement . I do have to wonder though if 75HP isnt a bit much for that boat mine is only rated at 80HP max and its 16'. Welcome to iboats and we will need pics of her to let ya in the Starcraft club .
