Re: 1960 16' aluminum. Help me indentify what model!
Correct! There is also a Jet Star, but I'm no the one to tell you the difference between the two! I'm sure someone from the Starmada will reply soon enough with that info.... btw, Where did you get the 16' from? mine is labeled as a 15, but its nearly 16 from tip to tip. I'm sure someone will jut in and explain why... I believe 1960 was a design change for starcraft anyhow. I've seen pics of both jets and jetstars from 59, and they both have the same rib design as mine, as well as similar transom supports. Take a look at mine ... ... the transom supports are quite different than yours. I could come up with every little difference I see, but there is also a ton similar! Even the hardware they used on the corners, etc. But I know that stuff like that floated between models....
Also just a thought..
If your title DOES say that it's a 16'.... but no model... most likely it has been generically re-titled. My last boat was retitled because the last owner lost it, and it was wrong all the way around except the "vin" number on the tag.
My bets are the title was lost, stolen, aten, etc. they measured the overall length and titled it as a 16. Or...I'm completely wrong and like 64osby said, its a Viscount. Either way, great lookin boat!
