86 Starcraft 15ft Supersport

[steve mcintire]

I am looking for any pics or original brochures showing what these new boats looked like. Looking for details. There have been changes made to the boat that I purchased in 2014. The interior is in good shape and the hull shows years of use. I can see why, I love the boat and it's pretty quick with a 96 Mariner 60 ELPTO. I am trying to decide if I should restore it or Just go fish'in Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Starmada, Steve!! If you go back out to the forum thread list, there's a sticky thread called "Main Starcraft Stickie With Brochures, Past Splashes, Member Map, Rebuilds/Restos". You may be able to find the brochure there after clicking a few links. Are you sure it's not a 16ft? I don't think they made a 15ft SS in '86.

Of course we're all going to tell you to restore it!! That's what we do here. A lot of guys go all out and do a true full restore scrapping the paint off and building basically a brand new boat. Other's just pick a few things that need to get done. It all depends on your budget and time.

In my case, I want to do a full restore, but don't have the time or money to do it in one year- and I want to fish this summer. So I just picked the things that I felt were safety issues and redid those things (the electrical system and fuel system). Then I might have the money/time to repaint or something next year.

But please, post some pictures of your boat!! :joyous:
