This one has been driving me absolutely crazy for about 3 days. No one bid until last night, that snapped me out of it. Compression is good. Tilt doesn't work, but thats fixable. Anyone think that may be corrosion in the bottom paint?

no...... corrosion on an aluminum boat wont be orange!!!!!!!! it will be white powder!!!!..... that discoloration is nothing more than staining from sitting in water for an extended period...as if it was moored or docked for the summer.......don't worry about that!!

From the pix in the ad, I didnt see any corrosion either

for a second, I thought that it was a well-maintained boat.

look closer...peeling/delaminating paint and it still has the rotten transom pad (Bottom notch prep).

That said, it's a V5 with a 140 'Rude :madgrin:

I have a soft spot in my heart for both of these vintage makes...not bottom-feeder prices but they sure are cool!

'72 Sunbird with an early-80's 35Hp 'Rude...bombproof motor.

Nova I/O (I posted this up here last year)

Uh V5, notice those lap sides and no double chine? You're right about everything else tho :lol:

I was bidding on the 140 HP StarCraft but not where it is at now.

I figured water stain. Never hurts to get experienced input. A few days ago I came across one posted online where the guy used the wrong bottom paint, it looked very similar and had holes through the hull after paint removal.

I seen that paint and pad. Looks like someone removed a kicker bracket and left monster silicone holes in the transom. That 140 would mover her across the water.

Almost bid against you. lol Still the same number of bidders as earlier. they can have it for that price. That boat/motor package would be fun.

Rawhide Ranch will probably have another StarCraft to bid on tomorrow.

Ive psted this at least once in the last year or so but i thinks he's dropped the price in about half. Ive been threatened or id go grab it tommorrow.


I can go look if someone needs it.

I had an older 60's aluminum boat and it seemed like the aluminum would crack so easily....wonder if that happens to these older starcarfts as well

 

[bob johnson]

Just looking at the floors in that Islander you can see they are real soft, nice green stains around the screws holding the center piece down
