Hi guys and thank you inadvance for your advice. I'm looking at a '79 Starcraft bowrider, 16'. It has a 65hp Evinrude motor. I am new to boating and just want something for fishing etc. Any suggestions or help?:confused:

It depends on the the condition of the boat in relation to the cost of purchase. Other then that, Starcraft is a very good boat and the 65hp motor will serve you well for the 16' boat. But remember the boat is 30 years old and my be in need of a little TLC. I've had 2 Starcrafts, and they are very easy to repair and trailer well. Salt water is my biggest headache, so I try to keep out of it.

Is it a Super Sport 16 (aluminum) or an American 16 (fiberglass)? BIG difference in possible problems and issues...
