I have a Starcraft Runabout that predates the HIN. The dimensions - best I can gather them due to impediments are:
Center Length - 15' 7"
Gunwale - 16' 1/4"
Beam 70"
Transom width 64' 1/2"
Transom depth 21"
This boat has been made into a fishing boat and only resembles it's former runabout status on the outside which is now painted camo. It's not a candidate for restore as I like it like it is. :joyous:
It currently has a 1997 50 HP Evinrude and seems a tad under powered. I'd like to pick it up to a 60 or 70 HP. Most of the brochures have boats that are similar but not exactly the same. Most of these - but not all - say up to 70/75 HP is ok.
Any ideas? The transom is reinforced with road signs done very well. No worries there. I daresay much stronger than from the factory. The boat is in overall excellent shape.
There is no hull plate. The registration says 1956 Starcraft. I don't believe this is the case because looking at the 1958 brochure I see none like my boat which highly resembles the 1966 Starcraft Nassau.
Any ideas?
