I've been looking for a Starcraft for awhile now and finally found one in my price range earlier this week. It's a 1983 15' Holiday. The sole is trash and I'll be dropping in a new transom with help from the many documented jobs on the forum.
The hull itself is in excellent shape, no dents or other damage. A few rivets were replaced with philips screws so I'll be taking care of those along with a leak test on the rest. The 1983 Johnson runs great as well. Compression is a little lower than I'd like but it will do for now. If all goes well for a season I might tear into it and do a re-ring and new bearings. One thing I've found somewhat unique is that this model/year came with seats in the back which I really like and I haven't seen any other pics of a Starcraft with them.
Thanks to all that have documented their re-builds, it really is a great resource.
