Re: Post a pic of your starcraft!

Our first boat bought May 31 2012, one owner, 1974 American 16. We haven't been in the water yet but thanks to this forum I already know enough to know I don't know enough!

Thats a great looking boat.
If my 1975 American 16 looked that good I would keep it instead of parting it out. But then again, if it looked that good I wouldn't have been looking on ebay to find a better boat and would have missed out on my 1966 Starcraft Jupiter.

1972 Mariner 21 help
Hi guys, I have only posted once before on here, and I do have pictures of my Starcraft that I will post when I get her a bit farther along. But, I need help with an issue to see if I even finish the second restore on this boat.

I stripped all the paint off the bottom of the hull (believe me, a MAJOR task) to apply Gluvit and paint, after getting all the paint off of the bottom I was inspecting the hull before sanding and applying the Gluvit and I ran across a stress crack in the port side slash rail, forward beam. Anybody ever seen this type stress crack before? Can it be welded? Or do I need to fabricate a cap?

Thanks for fixing the previous post.
I've been lusting after an antique aluminum ski boat for a while.

Note dog in the heaven of dead fish!

The Bare Naked Lady on Kinzua NY-PA border. After 2 years all the wrinkles have been ironed out and the boat and trailer now run great! New plugs/points/coil and a rebuilt carb = quick cold and hot starts, low idle and hole shot! Wish I did the same:facepalm:

At 4500 RPM with a 19p = 34 on the Garmin - So I guess one could get to 40 with a 21p@4800 revs:cool:

The 18' is perfect size for the SC65 family!

The Bare Naked Lady looks awesome. Nice pic!

Shame she needs that extra 500lbs and 40 extra HP to equal the performance of my outboard :p
