After a year long search I finally found a classic holiday in great shape. It was used on smaller inland lakes as a family craft so the hull is in great shape. The floor is in decent shape. The boat ran in August and winterized for storage in in the fall. I'm a new powered boat owner but not new to the water. Up to this point I've sailed a small craft but decided the family needed something else to enjoy the water. The classic look of the starcraft attracted me. After I found iboats and saw the fabulous results from so many projects I was hooked. The community that seems to exist around classic boat ownership sealed the deal. I've tinkered for years on land projects but never anything on the water. I'm trying to get the boat ready for her spring start up. Working on structural things (seats, etc) but also trying to assess obvious system needs prior to spring start up. The boat ran last year but its obvious there was a lot of "duct tape" repairs used to maintain some of the systems. Trying to educate myself as I step through the systems. I have no documentation, manuals, etc and need help initially in that area. I'm sure I'll need more as the process continues. The specs on what I have are as follows: 1971 21' Starcraft Holiday-V I/O 165 HP Mercruiser / Stern drive SN#3291933. Would appreciate help with manuals and any tips as I begin my process to go through the systems. Many thanks - SOHA
