Bought all these parts and some others along with my 68' jet star i got from a LONG time Starcraft dealer in upstate NY.

Would like to get some help from you guys. Would like to know what i have.

The transom caps with the stars on them are clearly Starcraft i would imagine. And i guess one of those bow caps that has the same faux leather pattern to them must match. The question is which one.

I need to know the makes that the others belong to. I assume most are all starcraft but i would prefer to know for sure. Also what does that chromed center cap belong to that has the big 'S' in the center belong to.
In addition i purchased the vintage new old stock AC/DC inverter for the whole sum of $5! Good snag huh ? No clue how i'm going to incorporate them into either my 14' holiday or my 15' jet star. Kind of a big item to be trying to mount to a small boat dash. Sigh. I got a little crazy buying stuff up. I felt like those guys in that tv show Pickers. Ha ha.

I know the second bow cap from the end fits at least the 18 & 22 footers footers (holiday/chieftain, mariner/sunchief, etc)

The stuff with the handles on them, bow and transom corners I would assume goe on stuff you would normally carry like rowboats/prams, etc.

Evening ChrisP
I recently started restoring my fathers old boat... unfortunately the bow cap is cracked which led me to a search on the web, and obviously your picture. To help answer your question... the cap in the upper right of the picture fits my 16' aluminum mod-v bassboat (starcraft). although the cap is just out of view, below is a pic..

You can probably guess my next question... would you be willing to part with it?

thanks!

The inverter wont be needed on your boat. So use it like I do my adjustable inverter 0-28 volt at my work bench to test 12 volt things and run the radio- FF and Sonar to program it. You will find it handy to have.

Puget, i think that's an inverter to get 110vAC from 12vDC, not the other way around. VERY handy to carry in your vehicle! i'm eventually putting one on my boat but inside the cabin.

Chris, that's (at most) a "modified sine wave" inverter....be cautious what you plug into it....some electronics don't like it and it can toast the little wall cube transformers

OH! ok then be sure to have a extra battery on board that will charge from the motor as the conversion from 12volt to 110 volt may be a big draw down on the battery. I dont know just a thought.

you're absolutely correct on that if one runs anything drawing significant amperage...modern inverters have a low voltage shutdown so they don't kill your battery but not sure if that one has it and i wouldn't trust it anyway. dual batteries are the way to go.
