Good day! I have a 1960s era Starcraft. It's 18' +/- an inch or two. Appears to be a Holiday but can't verify because it's pre-hull ID and the plate is long gone. I'm in the process of replacing the floor and transom. This will be a fishing boat. The 1967 Starcraft Brochure lists the weight of these boats at 800 pounds. I'm not sure if this includes the outboard weight or not, though the weight goes up quite a bit on the I/O version listed so I'm assuming that's so but not sure. Many of the brochures are missing and some are illegible.

What I'm really hoping is someone knows the weight of these boats sans engine so I can determine outboard HP for the boat. Anyone have that weight available or can confirm the brochure is with or without outboard? I can then figure the weight of the floor, gas tanks (full) and fishing gear plus people, to determine the minimum outboard I need.

Also, is my guess right - this is a Holiday? See image. Thanks for all the help!!!1632422095085.png

The model number plate should be on starboard side near the helm and will have the HP rating. Sure looks like a Holiday 18.. The weight is without outboard as that is variable.
Max on that hull is 120hp. You won't need that for a fishing boat, but within 70% of that would be workable

Thanks! Everything was removed from the boat when I got it. Except the transom and the floor which were both really just wood pulp. No model number plate anymore.
