Turning her into a lean,mean,waterfowl fighting machine.Will be removing the cabin which has all the original glass intact,upper/ lower windshield ,window frames unharmed as well. No grab rails on roof,shoot me a pm if interested.
I have been looking for a 18-20' outboard aluminum hull for almost a year,that was reasonably priced for what it was going to be used for. There was a bare Lund for 3500 vs the Starcraft for 275$. Guy had two motors listed and pictured on Craigs with a side note that he also had a aluminum boat that he was also selling. It is now sitting in my driveway.The biggest pain will be drilling out the rivets,transom already ready for new wood and the floor needs to be replaced.
Ah man, I really hate to see a Starchief cut up. Oh well. Ya gotta do what you gotta do. If it was incredibly rare and desirable, you wouldn't have it!
I hate to clip the cabin as well,there was nothing out there besides the Chief. I do have a 67 Holiday / 66 Power Cat/67 and 58 Mfg so it is not something that brings joy to me to have to modify her ,but she will still be in use vs some scrap yard.
Sent you a PM.
Are the upper & lower windshields similar to that on a Cheiftain?
I might also be interested in any other odds and ends you wont be needing with the cabin removed.
