Hi all,
First post here, and very excited to be purchasing a Starcraft in the next month or two!
Being from Minnesota there is no shortage of Starcrafts but so many need a complete restoration. I don?t mind spending a good chunk of change for a restored Holiday, SS, or Chieftan but I?m getting worried I will need to look for something newer. With a 2 month old baby I just don?t have the time for a full resto, plus we want to enjoy the boat! Do you suspect it will be easier to find a good boat at the end of the summer? Maybe the good ones are out on the water, getting used?
On a related note-Chieftan 18?s are very hard to find in good or bad shape. Anyone have a rough idea how many were built? It would be interesting to see production figures for all the Starcraft models but I suspect that would be difficult to come by. I suppose the order would be SS18, SS16, Holiday 18, Holiday 16, Islander 21/22, Holiday 22, Holiday 14?
Thanks for any advice you might have!
Andrew
