Help Identifying my 14ft starcraft

[Starcraft new guy]

I bought this boat and its title says it is a 14ft 1970 starcraft. the problem is I looked at the brochures and pics and mine doesn't look exactly like the others. Sadly it has no id tag. It looks like a Falcon, but my mine wind sheild is one piece curved glass and all the other ones are curved, but with triangle pieces on the side. Help

SNG--

look at the measurements listed in the brochures, then get a tape measure to your hull and compare em. for example, the 14' Sea Scamp is much narrower and shallower hull than the 14' fisherman of same year.

Part B of the plan is to get some pics of the boat and the ID plate and get em up on here. the experts (of whom i ain't one) should quickly be able to help you get a positive ID. the good news is that they all work roughly the same, restore exactly the same, and are repaired exactly the same. Starcraft was a master of "parts bin engineering"....the same hull often became different boats, as with the 18' holiday, SS, and starchief

and welcome to the padded tin room

Need pics for a positive ID.

Like Barato said, transom depth and width are key to deciphering this mystery.

I'll go you one better than the padded room reference;

Come for the boats, stay for the people. Stick around here I think you'll like it. Oh yea, welcome new guy.

wind sheild is one piece curved glass and all the other ones are curved, but with triangle pieces on the side. Help

From what I have seen the full wrap around wind shields pre date the ones with the triangle ends.

SNG--

i have a brochure from mid-60s which lists 5 different 14' tinnies, varying in hp rating from 20 to 45. go take measurements on your boat for:
1. center length
2. gunwale length
3. beam
4. bow depth
5. center depth
6. transom width
7. transom height

if you can get those measurements, we can give you a pretty good idea which boat you have. and pictures help....
