My 1979 18' Super Sport with 100 HP Mariner.
This is the day I brought her home. A very sad and unloved boat. But I knew that underneath all the crap and grime there was a killer boat waiting to come out and be loved again.
Not a huge change here as far as the photo is concerned. But it is cleaned, stripped, and painted. While the pics don't show it there was a ton of rewiring done, plus the trailer was gone through, and most importantly I went over the engine and got her running like a top. Most important though is the fact that I think she looks beautiful and stately again. This was just too nice of a boat to let rot.
Here she is after I hauled her to my camp to put her to rest at what is probably her last home ever. My wife can be seen in the camp, she must be nuts to let me do this kind of stuff! We are very fortunate in that we have a boat launch right at camp.
Tied up to the dock at our beautiful camp on magnificent Schoodic Lake here in Maine. This place is hard to beat. If I could be here every day I would. This awesome Starcraft makes trips to camp even more fun. The 100 HP Mariner will push this boat to 38 MPH with ease. I am sure there is more left in it. But due to the frightening fuel consumption at those speeds we usually keep it at about 4700 RPM and 32 MPH. What a fantastic boat!
