Although not Starcraft related, it is tinny related. While looking for property I happen to see this up for sale. They aren't more than 10 miles from me. Anyone want to go into boat production ?

That's a very historic operation, and not a bad price as businesses go. In the 1950's my first boat was a Grumman canoe my dad bought for me, and I still own a Grumman Sport Boat. I hope they find an excited new owner.

That's the kind of boat the gets me excited! Not sure, was the Sprint really a 14 footer?

Sprint ad has the ID plate, lists it as Sprint-V 15, so probably 14ft 9in or 14ft 6in.

Thanks, I didn't think you usually see a 14 footer rated for 65 hp, although it's the "old" rating. An old 65 must be pretty heavy. And surprised at the 6 person, 2000 lb. capacity rating too. My 15' Jet Star was only rated for 45 hp, it didn't say a persons/max weight amount on the plate.

 

[jbcurt00]

Hmmm, listed as a 15ftr for 1968, but w a 65hp and 1300lb max capacity. Interesting

I think the hull sides are higher on a Sprint..... more freeboard. Wider beam too..

 

[lakelover]

Yup, it does look deeper. Also just noticed that the Sprint transom height is 21"; my Jet Star was 15" before I modified it.

"16' Starcraft Alum center console w/trailer "


"Boat" I guess you can call that a trailer??? Someone stole the wheels off the lawn mower. She's pretty beat up too.

Can't say I have ever seen a V5 Islander before, pretty steep price considering the motor needs a a head and ??

3200 for a project boat?

I thought the Iron Duke was a straight 6 and that there was never a marinized version offered for use in boats?

 

[redneck joe]

Yeah a bit much....

Last night after a few beverages she said ok. Not a happy ok, but an ok nonethelsess. Can i fab a wiring harness or must it be original.

 

[jbcurt00]

I may be wrong, but I think thats an electric shift OB.

You can probably fab a harness, but that guy in Canada probably make them

Way too much for that boat,

Iron Dukes are 4 bangers and were never marinized. For some reason people like to mistakenly call any GM 4 cylinder an Iron Duke.

I think because they are both GM 2.5 L 4cyl cast iron lumps made in Mexico.

Oh electric shift? I think dad had one of those . Push button shifting?
