Starcraft Identification Help

[Alumarine]

Hi there, I need some help from the Starmada in identifying an older Starcraft
I needed a trailer and picked up a 75 Shorelander roller/bunk with a boat on top.
If it was fiberglass it would be at the dump already.

What year/model do you think it is? Too old for a HIN.
What's the maximum horsepower?
It does have a newish transom and deck.
The bones look good.
The 85 Johnson isn't running. It has an "electronic" problem.
I plan on cleaning it up and selling it cheap for someone who wants a project.
Although the more I look at it the more I like it!

I'm not sure about the seats.
There's some in there but I don't know if they belong.

Stab in the dark before the experts come along. Late 60’s Holiday. Looks to be in excellent shape too. Someone is going to want that.

I dont think the Holiday ever came w a bow hatch. But I might be wrong. Does it look factory original?

A length would be helpful, suspect 18ft.

Sunchief would be my guess... had a short bow deck, and a hatch.

120hp +/-

North Beach redid 1 into Liquid Limo

66 Starcraft Sunchief re-Build

This will be my first attempt at restoring an old boat, so I thought I?d do a build along. That way, in exchange for providing you folks a little humor (inevitable due to my inexperience), I can ask a bunch of redundant silly questions! The boat is a 66 Starcraft Sunchief. It?s 21?7? long and...

Sorry meant to put the length in.
It's 18 ft.
Stern is 78" wide and by the windshield is 84" wide.
Depth from deck to gunnel ranges from 26" to 29".
The bow hatch looks factory but I haven't crawled under there yet.

It looks like a 1965 or 66 and for sure is a Holiday and yes the old Holly had bow hatches prior to 68 when they went to the center opening windshield with the steps.

Here is a friends 1965 IO Holly I worked on.

That's a nice looking boat!
It does look like the one I have.
I downloaded the 1966 brochure and it shows the specs for it.
Do they have a serial number or identification number on them anywhere?

Some 60s had plates up by the helm/throttle remote.

I no longer have any Starcrafts and its been years since I spent much time talking about them often enough to keep details straight. Thanks @Watermann

No, not of that era from the factory so unless assigned by the State like here in WA where your required to affix the new HIN they issue and you have to sign an affidavit you actually did it.

Thanks for the info guys!
