Post a pic of your starcraft!

[Rasdiir]

Well i started a boat project and have been looking around for information and ended up here . I got a 1983 starcraft 15.8 supersport with a 50hp evinrude .

I think that's an SS-150, yours is only the 5th one I've seen in all my searches over the last year.

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.

I cant say weather or not you are making a mistake but that "appears" to be one hell of a nice boat for 5k. I hope you find what you are looking for. someone will definitely enjoy that beauty.

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.

There is a lot of confusion around the iron duke thing. They were almost identical motors as far as looks but none were iron dukes. well I guess its possible that someone mated an iron duke to the Mercruiser outdrive somewhere along the lines but it was not the original setup

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?

yeah that gentleman's agreement is probably worthless. It sounds like you will regret if you sell personally.

just picked up this 1963 Starmist. Polished up the paint and windshield. I am quite impressed how well it runs with the 70. Appears to be mostly original.

Nice boat, I will own a 26'er one of these days.

 

[SteveIFish]

Here is mine. 73 Super Sport 16' put a new 70 hp Yamaha on it as the 78 Evinrude is getting old. new floor, Transom, Flotation, linoleum, Electrical, driver and passenger seats and Motor. Still need some fabric redone on the front seat area and a new paint job would improve it's looks.
But It looks like a Yacht to me. P.S. and a salmon catching machine..
