Beautiful!
Hey, would you be able to post a few of the interior and bow. I think yours may be similar to mine, and I'm thinking of painting my outside to be a seafoam green like yours.

Sure ! The color is an automotive paint called, , "Atlas Green". The last photo will show how this paint almost, "glows in the dark!" !

Thanks,
My 67 has a very similar interior. And I'm not much for the exterior color of mine. Yours is what is what I'm thinking.

Hey ? She's still a Starcraft ! Why anyone would buy a company that made such a beautiful and, "bullet-proof" boat , I will never know ! Just get some top quality paint and she'll come right back !

Ha ! A well known fact, "They don't make them near as well as they used to ! "

After looking for years I picked up a 1974 16' SS. Been a long time looking but so happy I waited. The previous owner really took care of the boat.

Nice sled !

Bought this beauty last July. Put up for sale a few days ago at what I paid for it, $5000. Am I making a huge mistake. I like to fish and the doghouse just takes up a lot of room, even w the back 2 seats removed. Not a fan of I/Os, but this is a 4 cylinder "Iron Duke" rebuilt from the ground up, runs flawlessly. Should I have asked more? Should I keep her? HELP!! Edit to add that this a 1970 Starchief. 52 years old and looks brand new.

No iron dukes went into Starcraft boats, IIRC, No marine iron dukes.

Nice boat, good luck

Just remember there is no forum section for sales

I know of several with that engine. And I'm not selling here, was just asking for advice or opinions on the boat itself. Sold in less than 2 days. Was just wondering if I should have asked more.

Man, that was a beautiful boat. I agree the doghouses take up lots of space. Would have been a great candidate for a OB bracket conversion…I would love to have snapped that up (if I had room or time for another project)

Not officially sold yet. I LOVE this boat and am having serious second thoughts. Dude is coming by today and I am still very undecided on whether to sell or not, especially as nice as it is and at such a low price. Boating friend says I should have asked double and settled somewhere around $7000-$7500. REALLY going to miss this boat but also have a "gentleman's agreement" that if he sells it in the next few years I get first chance and at the same price he is paying. Sound reasonable?

 

[classiccat]

Very nice boat...that you "LOVE"?

I predict that you're going to have seller's remorse on this deal.

does the buyer know you're on the fence?

If you will regret it, don’t sell it. Maybe not regret about selling at a low price as much as regret letting it go in general, but that’s up to you. I don’t know your personal financial situ. I know that if it was me and I had an out that wasn’t unethical, I’d consider taking it.

But if you do decide to let it go, be prepared that the buyer may not honour your first right of refusal agreement. He may be flipping instantly.

 

[jbcurt00]

It 'sold in 2 days. But it isn't sold? And you may not sell it after buyer comes to see it & expect 1st refusal for same money?

BS

Bye

Similar yes. But not Iron Dukes
