1966 Starcraft Restoration, Need Model

[Seamaster1]

IF there are any gurus out there that are familiar with older Starcraft, I cannot seem to figure out the Model name for this boat from looking at pics. The title shows 18' and 1966. Has an inbd/outbd Volvo Pento 120 HP. I would like to figure out the exact model and then try to locate any type of literature of manuals. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Might want to check with the guys in the Starcraft Section and there is a brochure thread as well that has many of the old Starcraft brochures.

A 1966 closed bow, 18ftr is going to be a Holiday.....

unless its really a 21ftr, then likely a Sun Chief

Can't tell in the pic, but is there a hatch in the foredeck? Got a link to an ad with more pics?

Welcome aboard.

Well clearly it's been repainted. And that motor box is a little high. The brochures didn't list VP as an option back then.
Can we see a shot of the interior and the stern please?

Most of the Guru types are tin heads, your SC appears to be glass from the pic you posted. The best bet is in the brochures.

I think she's a tinny, WM. Pretty sure there is a riveted bow cap and the shadowed chine. The side rub rail is missing and the windshield is from 1963 or earlier. '63 had a front hatch and '62 doesn't.

All gleaned from the brochures.

Ok, I guess seeing a lap bottom of the hull and no clearly visible seam made me think glass. (Not sure I've ever seen an SC tin boat with a lap bottom) Zooming way in I think I can see the bow and keel plate.
