It doesn't look like it's running very smooth in the video, but for $400 if it's not too far away, why not?
From the pictures, he's already pulled it from the boat. Buying just the engine beats buying a donor boat, pulling the engine and then having to dispose of the hull.
I've built this one a couple of times. Biggest engine I've had on them was a 70hp 2 cycle Mercury, but I think with modifications they would hold something bigger.
I just acquired a 1983 Starcraft HIN STRL06850783-A4
The HIN decoders I've seen online will decode the STRL06850783 part, but I haven't been able to learn anything about what the -A4 suffix means. Can someone here shed some light on this?
Thanks
