1966 Starcraft ?

[SubSailorchris]

Good day,

I just go this boat for free and I do not know what kind of boat it is besides being a Starcraft. Please help if you recognize it. Thanks, I intend to rebuild her back to new.

If you are having trouble, you can email them to me, I will post them.
You can not host them from your own computer.
Send me a private message, and I will send you my email address.

Length?
Beam?
Width of transom?
Does it have a horsepower rating plate?

We do have a very active Starcraft forum, with many photos and brochures.

Welcome to iboats. Sub Sailor. Sweeeeet toy!!!!! Awesome find. You may not have paid any money for her, but you'll soon learn there's no such thing as a "free" boat She looks to be in great shape overall. Check the floors and transom for soft spots and rot. You can drill smoe small pilot holes to test the condition of the wood. If the shavings come out clean and dry, you may be of. If you do find rot, you'll need to rip it all out and replace it. The motor looks to be a mid 80's 48 hp Evinrude, good motor.Check the transom clamp for a small riveted tag. It will have the model and serial numbers. Get that to us and we can get some more info. After that, start by taking a thorough inventory of all the bits and pieces, then give her a good scrubbing and see what you've got on your hands. Congrats! Keep us posted.

Late 80's motor.



Lots of model to choose from.
Very close with the 1966 Mustang, 14'
