Re: The search for a free (or nearly free) Starcraft!
I have an 18 foot mariner I'm going to restore Has a 73 65 horse johnson on it also have another 65 horse (72) from my dads old boat . Neither have been run in a few years and I'm undecided at this point whether to use one or look for more power. I was just thinking that if I do find a good deal on a running /dependable 65 or bigger on a starcraft ( probably prefer 85 horse or so) in the spring I would have no use at this point for a second hull (unless I catch msbs from u guys in which case the wife will kill me soooooo) In any case I won't be spending much until spring plan on tearing down the mariner and my dads old boat before snow hits too hard and go from there. I guess at this point I'm in starcraft limbo
I know I have some stuff know I will need some stuff know I like cheap stuff and also know that swapping and trading often don't show up on the wifes radar
Trying to make this short but failing miserably
I would definitely be interested in finding a decent running motor and controls for the 18 foot mariner preferably 85 or 90 horse, also will need a kicker and a mount probably 10 or 15 horse , possibly a center console as mine is shot, t-top,? cover? seats etc etc Anyway just really like the idea of this thread and probably should have waited until limbo passes to jump in but not my style
