I was told this was a StarCraft Islander but I'm confused as I'm not finding much information otherwise. Here are a few photos that could help determine what make and model this is. Thank you for your help as I'm trying to gather information for a small restoration project. I would like to get this boat out on the lake next spring.

Re: Unknown Boat - Uses Ford 351 OMC

There are many Starcraft experts on this forum (I am not one of them). That being said, this does not look like any Islander that I have ever seen (this appears to a fiberglass tri-hull and every Islander I have seen is aluminum Deep-V).

I'd be really careful about proceeding with this project. While the hull looks to be in really good shape (but I'm not sure what the inside looks like)..., that power plant is really dated and no longer in production. So, if it works, you might could use it for a couple of seasons, but if you start having problems with it, then it could get expensive fast trying to throw NLA parts at it....
