Starcraft on C-list/ebay!

[laurentide]

yes I was talking about the holes along the top of the gunwale ..... They HAVE to be there because the sides of the boat extend above the walkway and foredeck or otherwise rain or worse a stuffed wave would be funneled right onto the rear deck.... the ships have them too for the same reason, to drain water off the deck....

Watch an episode of the deadliest catch... every time a wave comes over the drains gush

Missed your earlier post...yep, that's gotta be it.

High priced 68 Chieftain - must be gold plated http://nmi.craigslist.org/boa/4792747916.html

Pretty nice looking 65 Starchief http://nmi.craigslist.org/boa/4786561541.html

Hey WnW, I think the price on the Chief you listed is right, he just didn't explain the boat is $1000 and it's going to coat $7000 to move all the stuff out of the way to get it out of the barn

 

[64osby]

^^^ Maybe it includes everything else in the barn.

 

[GA_Boater]

And the barn too. :doh:

My heart did a pitter-patter when I saw the '65 Starchief in Atlanta. ................................Michigan. :drum:

Rare factory jet drive Chief

That would be a great Chief H20, but getting parts for that Olds would be next to impossible.

If it's setup for a jet, could it be an 'easy' swap to a more modern jet driveline?

Sort of like the 'plug the round hole and fab new stringers' OMC to Mercruiser swap, but maybe no plugging the hole 1st?

Here's a little 15 foot starcraft for a restoration in Minnesota....

Wow, nice Cruise Master ^^^

 

[pckeen]

Now that's a heck of a restoration project.

Not sure about that non-plane hull though on the old gal. I guess just you get there when you get there!

Says the guy w/ the fastest 18ft vintage cruiser plying the NW waterways

But, yeah, the Lone*Star truly is a CRUISER, and a master at that

1950's Lone Star alluminum cabin cruiser - $1500 (Dowling, Mi.)

From Fibgerglassics, that looks like a 1955 26' Cruisemaster....but it's missing the top windshield. Looks like it comes with the original roadmaster trailer though.

 

[Weep'n Willy]

That is a lot of boat and would be a blast bringing that back to life. It kinda has a look of a war boat only needing outfitting with machine guns.

 

[64osby]

Peter the Cruise Master 26 was 21' long. The 26 is from the 26 HP Aerojet engine an I/O or inboard?

The one pictured is a Cruise Master and is an outboard model, Looks like it has the original Merc ToP.

I would love to see one that all original. Sleeping, cooking and head are all listed as equipment installed.

Every time I see a Cruisemaster I'm reminded of a Prohibition rum runner with the Coast Guard on her tail with twin 50's blazing. LOL

Are you acknowledging a former career there GA?

 

[GA_Boater]

Lets just say that I wasn't around during that era, but some old timers in the family told tales.
