1996 SuperFisherman

[Captom]

This is my newest oldest boat and first StarCraft. Current boat in Florida is a 17ft. Yellowfin skiff for inshore and flats fishing. I purchased this guy as a lake boat in Seneca, S.C.. I pick it up next Monday and will keep in Seneca. Basicly will be rigged for trolling with downriggers and bass/striper fishing. Guy I bought her from was a tounament Crappie fisherman so it is rigged for that style of fishing right now. Here are a couple of pictures, I will post more of the downrigger install and may be a fish or two.
I do need to ask if there is a supplier of StarCraft trailer parts? The trailer is in O.K. shape but does need a few small parts.
Looking forward tobeing on the site....Looks like a large knowledge base here and some great restorations.

Re: 1996 SuperFisherman

nice find! even though trailer is labeled SC, it's probably made by a trailer mfgr, and all the parts i can see in your pics look like std trailer stuff, available at any marine/camping supply or our freindly forum host iboats.

welcome to the mob. so boat is ready to go as is?

Just got her to Seneca and tucked in the garage. Get to go trout fishing in the morning with a freind. After that I'll start putting on the downriggers and cleaning her up and hopfully take to the pond for some runing around and scouting a new lake.

O.K. here's the first one of her fishing rigged with the downriggers. I am trolling at 1.5 mph with the electric.

Here is the results... one 2.5 and one 4.5 brown, caught ttrolling at 80 feet on flutter spoons.
