Re: help identifying boat

Welcome CB. Tin or glass? Length, some description and pics. Starcraft made a lot of old boats. Unfortunately the SN doesn't help much on most of the old ones. We'll help you figure it out.

Re: help identifying boat

its fiberglass about 16ft but thats a rough guess... originally comes with a 40 horse motor but now has a 70 hp mercury

Re: help identifying boat

Take a look at the Starcraft brochures. The foredeck detail might help you out looking at the pics. Does it have a Hull ID no. (HIN) on the stern? That places it 1972 or later if it does.

Welcome aboard 1782! That's a pretty neat boat- is it aluminum or fiberglass? Also, do you know its dimension?

I was looking through the 1970 brochure stickied at the top of the page, I would say the fore deck and beneath the windshield look very similar to the V-150 and the V-140.... The color seems the same as the V-140 as well. Perhaps its just my eyes, but from that picture the boat looks mighty small to be 16' long.
