Hi! I'm hoping someone can help me. We just picked up an old Starcraft 12 ft aluminum boat which has no HIN. It has a bow cap with two stars and a pulley, and the logo is mostly missing. All that remains is the "C" and the end and tip of the arrow (arrow strikethrough logo). I have been googling for days and can't figure out the model or year. We plan to strip the paint and give it a nice new coat inside and out. The bow cap fits loose making me think that the wood on top around the hull (bear with me, I don't know the terminology) used to have an aluminum cap as well. The transom (this the back where the motor goes?) is wood with aluminum covering the outside but not inside and the corner pieces are wood but I think these also used to have an aluminum cap (with stars?). There are three ridges running down the bottom of the hull with the center ridge running full length the ones off center running about half way or just past. The biggest thing throwing me off is that all the pics ive seen of the old starcraft aluminum boats shows them constructed in such a way that they have the appearance of planks on the outside (and inside) but our boat does not have that appearance. It somewhat resembles the 50s sea kings that starcraft made for montgomery ward but idk if they were using the starcraft logo on those. Honestly, any insight would be wonderful. Currently my father-in-law is laminating boards to replace all the rotton wood around the top and we will be painting either this weekend or next. I'll post pics updating our progress. Since we r restoring, we want to make sure we do it right, so if anyone knows where I can get logos, that would be great. Other than that, a model and possible years would be excellent, and if anyone recognizes that model and can tell us what we are missing, that would be great too! Pics will be added as soon as I get to my computer-phone is not playing nice.
