Help ID this Starcraft

[cj8mule]

Hey guys! I believe I have found an 18' SS, but the owners aren't sure what they have. I've got it all set up to purchase this boat on Saturday for $800. Here's the specs: 1978 Starcraft, 4 cylinder, Chevy engine, 120 hp i/o, 18.5 feet, Open Bow. Comes with trailer and 2 extra batteries. I know the floor and transom are shot.

Seems like a fair price if the motor and drive are in decent shape. My big question is.... have I finally found the 18' SS I've been looking for....

Here's some pics the owner sent me:

Hey Cj, that right there is an SS 18 by the looks of it, The hull color scheme is late 70's, looks like it needs a complete redo? Good find if the price is right? Here are a couple photos of 18 SS I have had first one is a 79 18 SS o/b model

Second is a 72 120 i/o

If the 18' SS is what you want then I'd say go for it. There's nothing there that cant be rebuilt and even if you have to re-power or rebuild the motor they are easy enough to find. There may be better deals in some areas but you should know a comparable boat's worth in your area.
