I'd like to think a fully restored SS like that would fetch the same price today.
Thanks for posting that.

In today's dollars thats $96,237.99. Restorinig a Starcraft is fun and you can save big bucks.

And I was freaking out cause I spent $80 on a new anchor yesterday. Whadya think my Islander woulda went for new in 1975? And what would that number be in today's dollars?

What does a brand new 22 foot aluminum cabin cruiser go for today?

I think in 1975, the corrected figure would be closer to $30,000

Thanks PS for showing us the real inflationary number. I was being a wisenheimer and meant to come back and give correct data. Not $100,000 but 30 g's is still a lot of coin.

Anyone want to buy a 1970 Offshore with the manly V-5 hull and 140 hp I/O? How bought $10k, it needs a little work though. I saw one in slightly better shape go for $30,000 on Barret-Jackson.

Seriously, this is great motiivation to restore one of these older gems. They are built like tanks. I think Starcraft started out building tanks, for agriculture way back. They are dang solid boats.

I ran some numbers thru NADA.com and they say a 2010 22' Islander average retail is 36k.

We are WAY ahead of the game when it comes to replacement costs.

That's why it doesn't matter if it takes some of us 3 years to finish
