Hey everyone found this site when looking for information on a boat I just got. I am told it is a 1962 stacraft. I am having a hard time finding information on this boat I think i did find the brochure for it and with being told it is 13'8" I am thinking it is a starlite. I am going to want to paint the outside but not sure what kind of paint to use. Any help or information on this boat would be great. Thank you all!

Lorenz,

Welcome to iBoats! Do a search in the resto forum. There are dozens of Starcraft rebuilds of all sizes. Anything you need to know you can find there. Good luck with your boat.

That definitely looks like a Starcraft to me. Personally, on a little boat like that, I'd leave whatever is currently unpainted bare. Easier to maintain and looks fine. For the painted areas, scuff it thoroughly, hit any bare areas you intend to paint with etching primer (you only need a light dusting of the stuff) and them prime with Rustoleum clean metal primer and then top coat with Rustoleum Professional.

Rustoleum now makes this which I would be inclined to try also http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=523
