Hey all I am new here and just wanted to show off my first Starcraft! I got it from my uncle who left it sitting for 9 years! Its a 1977 super sport 18 with a 120 mercruiser i/o. The motor is cracked from years of sitting and the outdrive was in the up position. Fortunately the motor internals are all good. Ive got a few pics to share so enjoy! Ive learned alot from reading many of the forums here and put alot of those tips to work for me. Ill keep all you guys posted on my progress!

Welcome AWALL. Looks like you got a head start on her. Keep the pics coming and good luck. Nice looking boat you have to 'play' with.

One step at a time.....Looking good. Is there any work/paint you need to do to the trailer? I only mention it because now is the perfect time while the boat is afloat (in air).

Welcome to the Starcraft fleet, you seem to have gotten yourself way ahead of the game already:)

Your boat seems to be complete as far as trim pieces, badges and whatnot, great project hull. Good luck to ya!
