I am going to look at a 1975 Starcraft ski/fish boat that is forsale in my area. From the pics the owner sent me it appears to be in good shape. I know it has new flooring just needs carpet, seats are in great shape. It has a 4cyl mercrusier engine w/ outboard drive and power trim. He said it runs and has new points and condesnser in it but still needs to be tuned up. I have never owned a boat like this and was looking for any advice on what to look for. Also this boat w/ trailer is only $500.00. What do you guys think?

Welcome aboard.

That would be the 16 Supersport with the open bow. I am surprised that it has the Mercruiser 120 i/o in it.

Should be a nice package. Let us know how you make out !

Re: Newbie question

Have him take you out on the water with it, before you buy it. Run around for as long as you have time, just to make sure everything works and keeps working.
Also make sure you drive it and he shows you how to start it. Make sure it will restart in the water. Check it from idling to WOT and back to idle.
