Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

I'm told this is a 1968 Starcraft but can't find hull plate to verify #
Any clues? Floor is rotted but trying to decide if it is worth restoring.

What Model is it?

What are her length and width? I'd say she looks like a mid to late 60's boat, possible a Jupiter if she is 16' long.

Here's a few pics of my 16' Starcraft...I think it's a Seafarer, but would like some feedback from those of you who know way more than I do! We haven't done anything to it yet (just bought it), but plan on possibly a floor and extra seating, or reconfiguring the seating. It's a nice wide, deep boat that's in great shape. The title says it's a 1960. Thoughts? Thanks! I'm new to the board and love seeing everyone's pics!

Hello,

New to the board, but does anyone know what model boat this is? 17' 6" starcraft is on the title, but no model.



Title said it was an 85 if that helps.

Hmmm, Idunno. Doesn't really look like anything over here...

Might that have new paint/decals?

Looks like a great fishing rig!

:welcome:

I think it's the Bass 170, but the rod rack is enclosed.

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

OK i found a tag in the upper right hand corner of the transom - STRP 3144058? Does that mean anything in identifying the model?

It's an 1986 BV 170

Yeah, I was going to say it looks a lot like the BV170 in the 1986 catalog to me, too.

Nice looking boat. Looks good for lake or saltwater flats fishing.

Welcome!

I've got to try that someday. I'm across the state from you on the Indian River, not too far from Sebastian Inlet. My Starcraft is a 16 DLX from '05.

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

My first post on the Starcraft forum...been following lots of the great builds by you guys here and enjoy the good info.

I love my Starcraft Mariner 220V, which has spent most of it's time launched in Montauk and the North Shore of LI to fish the rips for stripers, albies, blues...it has made regular runs to Block Island and across to CT. Boat flies thru the water with the Merc Black Max 150...it handles well in the rips and has been thru heavy seas.
This was originally a Great Lakes boat till '04, when I brought it to Long Island. I painted it a few years ago and it's due for a deck replacement this year.





Here's a pic of my old Sea Nymph...I completely re-did it years ago with new deck, wiring & paint.

Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!


Here's our new-to-us 16' Super Sport. The girls named her Bubbles. We are the third owner and the boat appears to be well cared for. Bubbles was a Craigslist find for $2,100 with the 90hp Merc, and canvas for the bow, top, and sides. We parked it in an abandoned greenhouse at my brother-in-law's place and now we're just waiting for Spring. In the meantime, I'm prowling around this site for tips on how to deal with leaks if and when they are found. Our first boat was an 18' Holiday, so we're not total newbies. More pics and info to follow when it's not 17? outside.

Welcome balt. That's a real nice rig you got there for a very fair price. You won't find an easier boat to launch, retrieve, run, and own. Come on Spring!!
