Notice he specified SLEEP cuddy....... Not enough room for anything else.

You'll sleep alright. When you jump up outta the bunk and smack yer head. :smile:

wankel. He said wankel.
(sorry but you know you were thinking it)
I remember learning about the Wankel design when I was in probably 10th grade.

The wanker (a proper British term) selling the Wankel is over selling. I complain about NLA parts for my Merc, you might find some metric bolts for this baby. Wankels are notorious gas hogs, too. I noticed he doesn't say it ran great the last time out. Wonder when that was?

I would believe he will have a tough time selling at that price.
agreed....but if i were starting from scratch, i might try to talk him down to 10 or so. a 4 stroke 225 is worth what, maybe 4000+ by itself? and the HDS12 touch is well over 1500. of course, i'd probably drive out to AZ and then find he used PT ply for decks and transom.........

IOW, no Wild Thang? :sleeping:

I think he made himself a nice flat fishing deck and one of his buddies told his boat looked like a cigarette style boat.....

Just another pretty paperweight. :smile: Not even really pretty IMHO.
Well, we don't know what the cover looked like.:) I never studied much on "inboards" . This setup seems unique to me.

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

it is interesting, but these days, when you can get an entire jet ski for about that $ and have reliable motor, it's just a curiosity. i can only imagine the howl it would make if mounted in an aluminum hull......ever heard an unmuffled rotary? sure, let's put that in the boat next to me for a peaceful day's fishing....:eek:

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

another in the SW, this time up north of Santa Fe....a Lone Star, but it is 22' and tin. this has been on CL for over 2 years off and on (i've posted it here before), so despite his claims of price firm @900, i suspect he might negotiate. crusty old guy who is obviously not too tech savvy with all them newfangled computers etc

Re: Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

I was going to save this one for myself, But I just don't have the cash, I would already own it if I did.
1950's Starcraft Speedster 12' boat with trailer

Too far & I too am cash poor, but I do like it. Certainly hope it remains intact. $600 is in the ball park for a sawzall savant to hack it to bits.... That'd bum me out just to hear it'd been converted to a fishing rig. No pix, please, no pix...

Great Pics!!!!
1967 starcraft great fishing boat


i think he was tyring to hide his shame at having a FIBERGLASS Starcraft. but he gets points for being honest enough to admit it for the benefit of non-Starmadans who don't know to look for rivets
