I sorta understand a cracked block, but why can't people at least throw a cover over their boats. Judging by the tilt switch on the dash, it's a MerCruiser. I bet $250 or $300 could bring her home slowly and carefully cuz the trailer isn't looking too good either.

Oh its come'n home alright! .....with me! If O will just respond to my emails. Its a twin (though its does look like a I/O) to my 72 OB and I need a trailer (sold my too short trailer yesterday). the trailer should be fine. just surface rust. I'm thinking $250. and an endless supply of parts.

What the heck.

Can't find a single Starcraft on CL within 350 miles, since the first of March. ???

I know there are boats listed in specific cities.

But, using zoomthelist.com and search tempest turns up zero results.

Did CL do something to make their listings unsearchable?

I really don't have 3 hours a day to look through individual pages.

Some used too close to Craigslist in their search data causing CL to block their site's access. The search engine I had on my smartphone collapsed because of an infringement lawsuit threat. But adhuntr.com has a midwest tab & a Wisconsin listing, and NO SC's are listed in that list either since last week of Feb. So CL may have done some more clamping down.....

My current smartphone app is still crazy w/ listings w/ my search-bot's

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

roscoe, I use Search Tempest exclusively. No problems. Maybe some of you Northern Starmadians are just hoarding all the tinnies. :lol: No, that's not the case. I just tried searching WI using a state search and found Starcraft newly listed today. Maybe it's your search terms?

I tried your Zip code and 350 mi and got a bunch. I just use starcraft in boats for sale. Also I use Direct Results, The big blue box. Combined Results is funky and ignores the distance and picks up a lot of dead, expired links. In fact I found this one on Duluth:

1970 21' Starcraft - 260hp Inboard

The CL search engines that were shut down had to do with the methods used, Google and Bing based search engines were affected. I have no idea how STemp works, but it still does. For me any way.

Of course they will... but I'm happy with my 18' for now. Fixing her up and getting itching to get out on the water!

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

I just use "starcraft" as my search terms, then either pick a state, or a distance.

Makes no sense that it is working for some people, but not others.

Haven't shut the puter down for months, maybe its time for a reboot.

Maybe it's time to re-boot. Cleaning out the cache might help too.

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

Rebooted, still no luck.

Tried a few other search sites, with limited success.
Statewidelist seems to give me a couple hits, but then it only links to the CL boat page, not the individual listing.

Driving me crazy.


I did find this old girl in OH.

Not bad, I bet that chev has the 350 in it at that year, good solid engine.
Personally I like obd2 trucks (96/97+) easy to work with + you know if you will pass before having it inspected ;)
