I got a 16' Starcraft boat from a friend about 2 years ago, he bought it in the auction but did not have a time to work on it and offered it to me at a price I could not refuse. The paperwork just states 16" Starcraft, no model number, no year of manufacture.
There is no ID plate on the boat and the HIN number in the paperwork does not match Starcraft format.
But the boat is definitely a Starcraft from early sixties.
I did not have time to work on it until now and I would like to determine which model/year it is. Originally, I thought that it is Nassau (based on the measurements), but after doing more research (on this site, as well as others) I think it is an early Starmist.
Unfortunately there are discrepancies in available sources (dimensions) and there seems to be many variations of the same model of the boat as it progressed from year to year.
I have compiled info on my boat and 16' models from that era and concluded that I have probably 1961 Starmist. But I would like to hear opinions from other Starmist owners.
Here is the comparison with other 16 footers.
