The trouble with some of the long-life models is the evolution over the years. Jupiters had at least three windshield styles and I think was the final iteration.

Who is asking about longer Holidays? Here is a 21 footer.

And you are right - it's a 15' Jetstream, at least via the color scheme.

Yeah, that would be my best guess as well. The Novas have the trademark line/strip all the way down the side, just under the rubrail. It's actually formed into the hull, not just painted on. The windshields also have a dark tint to them and the bow cap cuts straight across the dash without any curve around the corners where it intersects the side gunnels. My 15ft is rated for 65hp max, I'd assume the Jetstream would be the same.

If you need a home for that 80hp, my 16SS is still without a power plant;)

Interesting dash, sounds like a water ready Holiday. Although the transom looks original.

Someone needs to rescue this one...

"It's a 120 mecruiser inline 4 cylinder thinking about scraping the boat cause I want trailer it's a good boat but without the title it's hard to sell so if there's anything you want before summer I'm going to pull it apart and sell what I can. The motor ran great last time I used it."

I just don't have a place to hide it for a couple years, nor the means to tow it. 😞

If its in immaculate shape, with an obsessively particular disciplined owner- with good add-ons it may be worth it- but its a stretch in Ohio/Mich where I live - maybe more reasonable in other areas (or currencies-lol). Most of us here though are looking for deals/projects.

I'll probably be $3.5-4K + into my 18' Super Sport when its done (2+ years)- if I don't count the tools that I've added to the collection, but I also got into a decent shape, water ready 26' Islander for significantly less than he's asking.

That's a whole 'nother 4 feet Watermann...with all the tear out completed!!


Yeah I can see a SBC 350 in that one :D. I actually like the "coupe" look of my Chief over the longer ones for what I need it's perfect. Funny how SC makes these boats, they're never actually the length they say. Without the bow cap on mine measured 18' 11". I wonder if the others are off too?

Well now what do we have here... a rare event find here in the PNW.
1975 Starcraft Chieftain 22'

00k0k_iHraTv65Bdi_600x450.jpg

Am I seeing this correctly? Did someone use this 22' Chieftain as a DONOR BOAT!!!!! :jaw::jaw::jaw:

Mind you, if someone wanted to plonk an all new motor and mechanical systems, and restore something to you, this would be a pretty good place to start.
