Pix along the way are GREAT too......
We've likely seen worse, bo matter how horrific it was when you found it/drug it home. 6ft+ trees bigger around then a soda can doesnt even make the top ten of ugly.....
Pix are expected as payment of your Starcraft (really any boat.......) membership dues. So snap some pix of she is now, and post 'em plus any you took as found or when you got it home.
We dig barn finds just as much as perfect, unrestored or fulpy rehabbed boats. Many of us had boats most would consider derelict and nearly (past?) ready for the scrap heap, dump or recycling yard.
Dont underestimate the value of the before pix for you and those thay follow us thru this madness known as boat rehab.
Does it have a bow/stern light now? If so, you can probably pull 1 or the other and look for a makers mark or brand name stamped on the underside. If the stern light is Perko/Nautiloy (or whoever) ts likely the bow is too. Then to ebay......
You might find someone to re-plate a light that's a little rough, but expect it to be north of 3bills.... Not cheap. Someone on ebay is selling repops of vintage style lights, pretty reasonable for a vintage look, $40-50 IIRC and I know a few running them on anything from the 40s thru the 70s.
I suspect by the 70s Starcraft was buying nav lights in bulk and installing them at the factory. In the 50s, dealers rigged the boats, so some got XYZ brand lights, others got ZYX brand, whatever the dealer had on hand or that the buyer specified..
Specifically what trim?
