Re: restoration project

Welcome! Love to see some more pics. You should set up a photobucket account, resize your pictures to 640x480 and link to them from here. Then you won't have to deal wit iboats' goofy attachment process.

It's a fiberglass boat right? Then it's probably not a Holiday. The Holiday was an aluminum model. Check out all the catelogs that are scanned and posted in the Starcraft section on here and maybe you'll find it.

Re: restoration project

Hey Bob, my plans for the boat is to restore it and use it as a family boat, maybe do a little fishing out of her. Got a 6 year old who has never been on water yet, so want to just have lots of fun in her. Got alot of good lakes around here. But still froze over so figure i have about 3 months to finish her. Got her all stripped down in my garage right now. Work on motor today make sure its not froze up and hopefully turn over.

Re: restoration project

It looks like a '67 Newport to me, looks like a fiberglass hull for sure.

120 Merc I/O, 18', and it has the same curved corners on the windshield.

Nice find, good luck with the project

Re: restoration project

Good news got the 67 fired up today runs pretty well. Bad news no reverse, and broke the steering cable. Anybody have any ideas where to get one. Any ideas on the reverse. Please help!!!!!!

Re: restoration project

dawvynnsdaddy,
Great to hear about getting her running.
I'm sure that you will be able to find repair parts. The folks in the motor forum should be able to help. I have always found ebay to be a great source for parts too.
That boat should allow for you to make a lot of memories for your family.
Good Luck.
Keep the pic's coming.
Bob
