Howdy folks. New guy here, name is Jim. I didn’t find an “introduce yourself” section, so I thought I’d open a thread for comment on a boat I’m looking at.
I am not new to boating, I owned a ‘94 Stingray 586zp (19’) some years back. There hasn’t been a summer since selling that boat that I haven’t missed it. That said, I have come across a Starcraft SS180 for sale near me that just might become mine this weekend. I have done a bunch of reading on the SS, all in an attempt to educate myself on what to look for. I see that the floors getting soft just forward of the splash shield is common. I also know the fuel tanks notoriously developed leaks (as is the case on this one, it’s being run on an external tank at this time).
anyway, I look forward to chatting with you all!
thanks for reading!
