I am the proud new owner of a 1968 StarCraft arrow with a Johnson 40hp I know it needs a lot of help the transom is rotted out the floor is to just hope the stringers are good. It needs alot of work but it should be fun and worth it in the end. The boat was free after all anybody ever replace a transom on one of these beauties any advise is greatly appreciated. well here are some pics100_2531.jpg100_2532.jpg100_2533.jpg100_2534.jpg100_2535.jpg

Fellow Starcraft arrow owner,

I received a 1968 Starcraft arrow also with the same issue in which you mentioned. I have replaced the floor and re-enforced the fiberglass cross members. Then put down new pressure treated floor and two layers of of fiberglass mats.

Here are a few pics that I have taken. Maybe we can compare notes and give eachother tips.

This is why you don't tag onto old threads. The OP joined, made one post and promptly disappeared after a few days - never to be seen or heard from again.

Please start your own thread about your Arrow and welcome aboard.

I am new to this and I saw that this other person had the same exact arrow as I have. That is why I posted to their thread. I really didn't think I had to start a new thread when it pertained to the same subject.

We'd love to see more pix & follow a thread about your boat & it's rehab. Maybe NateJ will showup, but as GA noted, it's unlikely.

Please start a thread & I'll tag along. I already have a few comments based on your post & pix.
