[haspride]

I have my great grand father 1969 starcraft im redoing but im not sure the actually modle. If anyone knows i would appriciate the help, it has a 33hp evenrude ski twin wich i think i may replace because its a pain to pull start and get running good.
Ive got it sanded and ready for paint this week.
I could also use suggestions on replaceing the windsheild.

We need a tad more info here. Like maybe how long it is and a shot of the stern and inside would help.

Starcraft only offered one boat in that color with that windshield in 69. The Falcon. But it was 14'2", not 16'. Has it been re-painted, or are you sure it's 16 measured straight from front to back?

Cool starcraft. Welcome to iboats and the starcraft armada!

It is cool to hear that you are going to get your great grandfathers boat running again. I am sure that it has a lot of sentimental value to you.

Re: 1969 Starcraft???

Any idea what color it used to be? Maybe green. Take a look around the trim and maybe under the bow. Any info would help.

And I've been thru the entire 69 brochure. The only aluminum boat made in 69 thith that hull is the Falcon at 14'2" measured from the center of the transome straight thru to the tip of the bow.

Maybe the game and fish department has the year wrong?

By 69 Starcraft wasn't making larger boats with that flat sterned bottom. Most of them were semi or deep V's.

If it is the falcon, it's rated for 950 pounds and up to 40HP.

Wish I could have been more help.
