Congrats man!! The exterior looks to be in great shape, the inside can be done to your liking!

Yeah exterior is in great shape for its age, paint is a little flaky. I was way hung up on weight of hull while searching because of the 70hp I have to offer, but damn this thing is light! There's no motor on it but it feels waaay lighter towing than my 16' glass boat..which may be water logged a bit.

I'll start a restore thread soon with more pics. I want to keep it quick and simple to get out on the water soon...but we'll see. I definitely want to modify the splashwell like I've seen on this site

Nice, was this the one where the trailer was worth $800?

16' 1972 winner marauder (soon to be killed)

Not worth selling, make sure the camera's are rolling. After you salvage parts.

Looks like a nice find, ct. Is she the 18 footer from one of the ads?

yes that ad, and yes the marauder will be chopped up and put in the town compactor mobster style. I do however need the windshield for the starcraft, surprisingly I think it will be a near perfect fit.

My common complaint about new tinny owners. Buy a perfectly good boat and tear the he*l out of it. :lol:

Looks like you got her cleaned out pretty good. :thumb:

Did you get the transom plywood out too? If yes then :thumb: :thumb:

ct - you should probably look at starting a new thread on the off shore, or at least rename the thread. Nice progress.

Awsome deal Ct, nothing like the enthusiasm of a new Starcraft owner, but then again I don't think is changes even after 3 or 4 of them.:rockon:

Yep - A thread re-name or new thread is called for. Or I'll start telling you put a gas tank under the CC.

Maybe ct is looking at a conversion to a CC with the tank under it. :lol:
