    Looking at another Starcraft boat..

    On my way home today I spotted an Starcraft SS for sale on a back street, at first glance I thought it to be an 16' Super Sport but after stopping and looking it over I see it measures 17' 1" long. Its a lapstrake aluminum hull, but the bottom is smooth metal, and the lapstrake doesn't go all...

    Who made this boat on CL?

    I found this the other day on CL, haven't gone to see it yet but it looks like a good project for a crabbing boat. No clue who made it, the guy wasn't sure what was on the title which wasn't in hand when I talked to him. I won't get back there again till next week. He seemed to think its a...

    Lower unit crack

    I picked up an '82 9.9hp Evinrude at a yard sale cheap, it runs fine, pumps water and starts with just a light tug. It was super cheap because the guy said he left the thing out over the winter and it froze, there's a huge crack in the lower unit on the port side. The gear oil is fine, not...

    State assigned HIN number and model year

    I bought an Aristocraft 18, which I figured to be a 1968 model by process of elimination, and it even seems to appear that they may have only made this model that one year. Its too old to have a title here, and which meant a state hull inspection and an assigned HIN number and new registration...

    Solid fiberglass transom

    About a month ago I bought an older Starcraft 15' boat for it's motor. The seller spoke no English and the translator didn't know boats. I was only really after the motor, so after checking that out, I figured it a good deal at $150 for the boat, motor, and trailer. The motor was good and that...

    62 Glaspar Tacoma?

    I've been looking at an old boat that a guy nearby has for sale, a '62 Glaspar Tacoma. A web search doesn't turn up very much on this model but from what I see, it's almost identical to an Avalon? The boat had a new deck professionally done two years ago, I know the current owner paid over...

    NJ boat titling question?

    I was given a boat the other day, it's from the early 1960's or so and it's not been registered or used since at least 1970. Its been stored in a farm building since at least that time. The problem is that the owner can't find the title, only the last registration. He gave me a notarized bill of...

    Trying to ID old boat - Pics added

    I was on my way home from a long trip the other day when I passed a boat for sale on someone's lawn. It looked decent but the guy had no idea who made it. The title read homemade, and it had state issued HIN numbers. I nor the owner could find any numbers or CG plates on the boat. It didn't...

    66 AeroCraft Trihull construction?

    I was offered a boat the other day that for some reason caught my attention. It's a '66 AeroCraft Maverick, 16 1/2' long. It currently has a running 50 hp Chrysler outboard on it, it's on an aluminum roller trailer and seems all in all pretty sound. The boat needs seats installed, and probably...

    Stuart FL area fishing in Sept.???

    I just found out I'll be in the Stuart, FL area for most of September, I've never fished in that area before. What should I expect? What's there to catch? I'll have a lot of free time on my hands and want to make the most of it. I already looked into the fishing license requirements, so that's...

    Not sure what to do?

    Hi, This is my first post here, I was told to look here and inquire before buying or starting a potential project I'm looking at. I've been looking for a boat for a while, but can't afford much to start with. I've come to the conclusion that I want a trihull for stability, and I want something...
