Not a brochure, but a nice Starcraft Chieftain magazine ad.

I scanned a 1978 Starcraft Cruisers Brochure, and posted it on photobucket.com.

For the Islander fans (myself included), an ad from May 1972 in Popular Science.

I really like this shot.

^^^ Nice Pic liteboatr! So how many here actually use a captains chair as it's supposed to be sat in.

I know I rarely do.

Re: Starcraft brochures

I'd like to get my hands on a 2010 brochure that has the Islander in it. My Islander is a 2011 but I know the 2011 brochure does not include the Islander as they were phasing it out of production.
Anyone know of a source where I can buy a copy?

Re: Starcraft brochures

Don't know a source, ricohman, but the Starcraft website has legacy brochures. Here is the 2010 - http://www.starcraftmarine.com/sites/default/files/brochures/2010-Starcraft-Fishing-Catalog.pdf

Hope that helps you some.

Re: Starcraft brochures

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the scanned 1962 brochure is missing page 13.

I just happen to have a "new" 1962 Starcraft, so this is of great interest to me!

BTW, this site is a wonderful resource for those jumping into a Starcraft restoration project.

Found a 1961 Jupiter ad that's not in your file HA, the thumbnail is larger @147KB:

"feather smooth ride" :lol:

but ya know, these old brochures really bring something home.....seems like up til the mid 60s, ads actually pitched a few rational measures of quality rather than just "selling the sizzle, not the steak"

Re: Starcraft brochures

Until just now re-reading the ad, I didn't notice something glaringly missing from that Jupiter pix:

Splashwell......... And no evidence of where it should be joined to the vertical inside gunwale.

Re: Starcraft brochures

Jupiter splashwells came along in newer models a couple of years later.
