Ok. Here it goes. Looking at a 78 Starcraft 18ss. Interior is all original and shows it’s age. Floor is a little soft in spots so likely needs replacing. Has a good trailer and hull is good
problem is that it’s a stringer drive which would require a repower and a rebuild of the stringers at the back. I can weld a patch over the hole and redo. I’m assuming the transom is toast
I know this would be a project boat and $$ spent would obviously be more than it’s worth but it wouldn’t be to flip that’s for sure - more of a hobby I guess
what do you guys think ? Knowing that it needs all this work. (and likely more when you start pulling Things apart). Is it a worthy pursuit? Any idea what the value of it would even be?
thanks in advance if I’m nuts let me know....
