Hi all,
I have been following this board for some time now... and well I thought it about time that I start posting and the perfect opportunity threw itself at me this afternoon when i stopped to see a 1988 Starcraft SS180. Its a bit rough. But, I think it could make a great boat. My major concern is my lack of experience with some of the more major repairs that may be required. ie Transom, stringers, engine etc... The local marine service folks were not overly comforting. I was told that a transom would set me back roughly $4k. Trying to sell a new boat I suspect.
Of course I took some pictures of the boat (I hope I add them in right)
Let me know your thoughts... I have seen a lot of Starcraft enthusiast on this board so I'm hopin for some candid feedback.
Thanks all!
Bob
