Hello,
I just joined your forum and have enjoyed reading many of the posts. I have recently come into possession of what I am told is a 1962 Starcraft. I don't know what the model is, so anyone that cares to take a guess is welcome.
I have decided to restore this wonderful vessel to its former glory. I had thought about making it a "beater fishing boat"...but that didn't last long. I have read many threads in the past week or so that have given me several ideas on how to improve upon the original while keeping it somewhat original.
I have posted a few pics so you can see what I am working with. I am in the process of stripping out all the old elements and doing the basic clean-up. I am removing all the hardware in preparation for paint, sealer, carpet, etc...I plan on putting all the original hardware back after it is properly polished and paint is complete.
The motor(s) I will be addressing soon as well.
I look forward to hearing all of your advice and input. I can tell I will need it.
