    Floatation Foam - 67 StarCraft Holiday

    The foam in my boat below my floor is styrofoam - like was used in those old Styrofoam ice chests. Is this original to a 1967 StarCraft Holiday? It's perfectly dry.

    Adapting a Similar Size Carb - 1985 Mercury 110 7.5hp

    On automotive engines - in the older days- it wasn't uncommon to swap out for a newer aftermarket carb. I have searched extensively and can't find a new carb for my 1985 Mercury 110 7.5hp 2-stroke outboard. It seems if I could find a similar size carb - preferably newer with parts available -...

    Rod Holders

    I have these mounted several places on my boat. Are these a very common hole that I can just order the actual rod holder and it'll fit in these?

    Primer for Wood for oil-based Rustoleum?

In fact, I have no reason or desire to take an 18 footer into salt water. But I'm not finding what to use for a wood primer. Rustoleum has...

    '67 Holiday 18' - Make it Usable

    I’m starting a thread about my new Starcraft. Not so much a build thread - but more of a ‘Keep it Usable’ thread. I’ve wanted my own Aluminum StarCraft for a few years now. Bought this 1967 18 foot StarCraft Holiday with a 1984 Suzuki 75hp last weekend. I have a 65 Chevy truck that I’ve done...

    Old StarCraft - HIN

    Hello, I've been a member for awhile, but post very little. I'm sure this has been asked, and I searched, but I'm not finding what I need. I read that before 1972 boats weren't required to have a HIN. (Hull Identification Number) Does anyone know if an old (about 1965) StarCraft 16 footer had a...
