1969 Starcraft Offshore V

[Jollyfishmon]

I just became a 1st time boat owner today. Bought a 1969 Starcraft Offshore V. I am happy and nervous because everything is a french to me and also its old. I will post some pics. Tested the outboards today and the 115 HP started after about 3 minuts and the 10 hp trolling motor was on first pull. The guy told me that the motors came with the boat and I should have the electric shift oil changed in the 115 hp and also the little water impeller is broke on the small 10hp. He said about 140 bucks should do it for both. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hey Jolly! Welcome! Sounds like you have a great boat there!

Alas, you'll want to start your own thread, this one here belongs to somebody else and is ancient history.

Cheers!

Welcome to iboats Jollymon

Did you run the outboads in a barrel or on muffs?

If the impellar is bad you should repace it before starting it again as it needs it to cool the motor.

Sounds like a sweet old rig, looking forward to seeing some pics!
