Hey Everybody,
I haven't been on line in quite some time as work on my Jetstream/Holiday finished up last year. But after 3 years of searching I have finally found a Sunchief! It's a beauty. All original and in working order with a Volvo Penta 110 HP motor, saltwater series with a heat...
Re: Buddy R's Jetstream Restoration

Good Morning All!
Well thanks to all the Starcraft restorers in this association I was able to make an informed decision regarding my first Starcraft purchase. I just picked up a '72 Starcraft Jetstream with a '72 Johnson 50HP. Everything on it is original and falling apart but I love her. And...
