late 50s early 60s starcraft seamaid??? HELP!!!

[rogerdavis56]

I purchased a 50s/60s seamaid (14ft/15 ft) runabout. Starcraft has not been forthcoming (at least yet) with info on her. I would like to see pics of her as a young girl. I would like information on her structure.

There is keel damage (and rot). my guess is there is a foam filled bow???
lost most gelcoat on hull.

she will need resheathed, repainted, repowered, and reupholstered.

Anyone have any factory or other pics?
Any familiarity with how she is/was built?
Any "what-not-to-dos" (avoid the find another boat)?

If interested, here are two links:

epoxy and 2-part foams:

Fiberglass:

been buying epoxies, foam and glass from these guys for 3-4 years. no complaints with ANY products.

Thanks for any help

First, welcome to iboats.

I scanned through http://www.fiberglassics.com/starcraft/brochure.asp and didn't see a "Sea Maid", just a "Sea Scamp".

Pictures would be helpful in diagnosing the condition of the boat. If you get some pictures, try posting in the restoration forum to get some opinions.
