Yeah but not nearly 30k pretty for an 8 year old boat. What do those sell for new anyway.

30k is outrageous. There were a few late 90's that were up there in the 8-10 range and in fantastic shape.

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

$30k is right what I would expect for a boat that new. Starcraft discontinued them because they were getting harder to sell new, and as such, the newer boats are hard to find. I've seen 1990 Islander 221's priced at $10k and sell quick ... I think the early to mid 90's with the glass cabin doors were nicer, tho they were probably discontinued due to breakage.

Ok not a Starcraft, but maybe a first? Motor alone costs more than the whole rig.. The pic is great too.. No way he'd want to hide the condition on that beauty!

Judging by the curve where the dash would be, it's a bowectomy. The bow cutout seems pretty narrow and with a stick steer conversion, all for $2300. Oh my!

All right guys, post warning here....

Proceed only if you are mature enough to handle seeing a giant metal boat all smashed up.

I'm warning you.....






























OK, here's the clist ad...
26' Starcraft Parts-350 engine

I called the fella and talked about is boat. Here is what he sent me....









Seriously, cover your eyes if you can't handle it!








Ok.....

That's half the damage. The other 1/2 is on the bottom of the hull. He said the ground was wet so he didn't bother taking pictures.




:Cry::Cry::Cry:



Now, here's what I'm getting from him.

He doesn't really want to repair the boat. But, he is thinking he'll just repair it. (yup, you have it right) He doesn't really want to part the boat out. But, it's listed as a parts boat. (yup, you are reading correctly)

He doesn't really know how much to sell it for and said make him an offer (this was before I saw the photos)

I am getting the feeling he wants a lot of dough for it. Here's why: I think he said he has a Merc 5.7 in there with a newish outdrive and pricey new prop. You can see that he has a pretty awesome trailer under her too. And, besides the fatal (arguably) hull trashing, that boat looks to be in great shape.

So what do you guys think when you see something like that?

I think I'm going to go curl up in a ball and go to my happy place.

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

See to me...

The top looks good for the most part...

The port side, while trashed, looks fixable with a new rubrail channel. I can't think that thing would ever go back to shape.

The starboard side looks terrible. Some folds and creases in there, ugh. I'm certain that stretched the alum and I'd think it would be a heckava challenge to bring it back to shape. It also kinda looks like it crushed the cabin top some maybe, that would be bad.

For the bottom hull, I think he said he lost something like 30 ribbets. I suspect that will be pretty bad too.

That 5.7 Merc in there and sweet trailer would be a huge score!!

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

Wonder if she took a "B Ticket" ride like CBK? Patty J looked good until :eek:

He told me he "hit some rocks" on the phone - then he sent me the photos....

I sure wasn't expecting all that damage up top there!:eek:

...maybe he had this boat.....
