    Starcraft SF16 Camp?

    I am going to look at one tomorrow but don't see a lot of information on this boat. I like the open floor in the center. The owner does not know much about the boat including the year.

    1984 Grumman 5.0 CC Restore (in the beginning...)

    Well, I'm not sure how much of a restore I will do as I'm aiming for a functional boat so I don't care that much on how it looks but also want to do a good job for anything I do on it. I bought it last summer but juts started working on it today. Might have some questions for you guys. Forum...
