Get a USHIP bidder to split the distance somehow. That looks like a great deal.

USHIP is an online auction type setup where independent contract shippers bid on your posted delivery needs. For example, you can choose a destination on the US/CAN border between you and the boat location. You head south and the driver heads east.

Basically, you would buy the boat sight unseen.

Am I right this is a Chieftan? Would you guys say buying this through Pay Pal, and he will store it for me till the weather improves, and I can pick it up is a good idea?

PayPal, or even a cashier's check, I always use a Bill of Sale form, which I can send you. It describes the total transaction, the consideration and a detail of the assets conveyed.

Using a cashier's check, you refer to the Bill of Sale reference number, and the check description also includes, as does the BOS, the HIN#, the engine#, the trailer#, and a solid description.

The Bill of Sale document can be tinkered with if you have to pay any taxes on the purchase. The price can be allocated to the boat, engine, and trailer as needed to minimize taxes. The BOS document also is a nice, legal piece of paper to have when licensing and registering the rig.

Gonna say Starchief because of the side window trim and where the rails attach to the gunwale tops. Maybe early 70's model. The Chieftain has a different cap and the rails extend further back.

Re: 1980 Starcraft

Thanks Starman, It is a 73 and the motor is a 74. I'm not sure on the year of the kicker. The owner says the boat doesn't leak a drop. The motor runs but has an intermitent power issue. Leg oil is clear and changed. Kicker runs great.

I spose it all depends on you comfort level and expectations Glenn. Going this route can be a tricky game sometimes. I have bought cars, trucks, boats, tractors, chainsaws and many other big ticket items online. I can remember a deal or two not shaking out so well but happy with the vast majority.

Seems like a sweet rig at a great price. I'd really want to know for sure what I was getting into with that motor before I handed over full price (or close to it) though. I'd say that price is so so if it's burned up. Course if it's a runner that would be a sweet deal!. Have fun buddy!

Re: 1980 Starcraft

If it was summer or spring I could pick it up and take it to Sandpoint Idaho, for you. We have a summer home there on lake Pend Orille. we are only across the Mts from Walla Walla . Boat looks clean from the photos.

Re: 1980 Starcraft

Re: 1980 Starcraft

Thanks Jas It is kind of a scary deal, as I would have to pay for it up front and not pick it up for 8 to 10 weeks.
Thanks for the offer Puget, that would make the trip a lot shorter, the owner offered to bring it to Spokane for me.
I have a question on the Johnson O/B, the control says it is a Johnson Power Shift 2, is that an electric shift? I also noticed it does not have Power trim and Tilt.
