    Model of early 80s IO StarCraft?

    The upper windshield and windows around the cuddy look identical to my rig from what I can tell. Thanks for the share!

    Model of early 80s IO StarCraft?

    Well you just had me looking up a bunch of terms I’m only slightly familiar with 😂. Always looking to further my boating knowledge though so for that I thank you. I believe I understand what you said about the bottom strake(google wanted to tell me how to identify a “stroke”😂). It appears that...

    Model of early 80s IO StarCraft?

    I agree with watermann and DLNorth. In google searches I kept seeing islanders that looked very similar and between the 2 catalogs I was leaning towards the SF. How come I don’t see the “islander” model in the catalog though? Is it listed under a shorthand name? It appears that the islanders...

    Model of early 80s IO StarCraft?

    So I it actually shows the model on the capacity plate! Just realized this today. But some things are still not matching up. The catalog pictures for the CR 221 look different. There is no window to the cuddy like on my boat. Looks closer to a CR 221V so maybe they just left the V off. According...

    Model of early 80s IO StarCraft?

    HID says it’s a 82. Michigan registration says 83. Would like to know the model. I have all the info on the IO(not original) and outdrive(original I believe). So identifying the model would complete my notes on this boat which I have grown to love. HID STRH55660982

    Fluorocarbon line is less pliable than other lines.

    Braid is all I run since discovering it. It has saved me a ton of money, lost fish, and lost tackle. Its just plain superior in my opinion. Cuts deeper when trolling, sensitivity is incredible, weathers better, strength to diameter is obviously a game changer. Sure it’s more visible than the...

    Record crappie

    I’ve caught more than a few “master angler” crappie in Michigan over the years but DANG that’s an impressive fish!! I’ve never weighed any of mine, 15” is all you need.

    Model of early 80s IO StarCraft?

    I am almost done putting back in the Mercruiser 140HP motor(79-82) into my StarCraft(early 80s) after being rebuilt. Going through the process of removing and installing the motor(which included buying the manual for said motor and outdrive) I have learned a TON of useful information regarding...
