    Good point about using the straps to take the load off the trim mechanism. But the transom is bad. I bought the boat Friday. I wanted to know if an 80's Suzuki was a decent motor. I knew I'd be fine with the boat, and knew it needed a transom. But I wanted to know about the motor itself.

    The transom is in desperate need of repair. The straps are taking the load off of the transom.

    How to know what model StarCraft

    I need to clean it up more. I just got it yesterday, but I've been wanting an 18 foot StarCraft for a couple years now. It's what my father-in-law had.

    How to know what model StarCraft

    Okay, thanks. I do want to hang around here. Sometimes when someone is new it takes them awhile to get around. I joined here two years ago and didn't come out of the gate posting all over. I'll sit back and take some time to get used to how people like things done here. Like I said, I've been...

    My new to me 1970 18' holiday

    Nice boat. I like the paint scheme. Mine is solid olive green. Looks a little too army for me. But if I did some graphics/accents like yours in black, I think it would look pretty cool.

    How to know what model StarCraft

    Well, this is why I'm confused. I posted in the splashwell thread that was on the exact topic I wanted to discuss. You then post this: "Start a topic about your Starcraft and ask questions there. Closed". . So you close that thread. I then start my own thread asking a different question not...

    How to know what model StarCraft

    I'm really confused about how I'm supposed to post. I have spent time in a lot of forums and most want people to post their question in an existing thread so topics stay consolidated. Perhaps you can give me a rundown how, where, and when, you would prefer me to post.

    Splashwell removal 18ft SS ob model.

    I need to repair the upright brackets that support the transom, and I'll most likely will need to remove part of the splash well to access the whole bracket. Currently searching for pictures or videos on how to.

    Suzuki 75hp

    Looks like a really clean engine. I'll go read up on things to do before starting it. It came with a 18 foot StarCraft. The price was right for the boat, so I figured if the motor is good, it's just a bonus.

    I did find this post in another forum: "They're good motors. Early 80's motors had some problems with excessive corrosion when used in salt water without remediation. It's worth the cost of the gasket to pull the water jacket cover and look for electrolysis and corrosion in a motor that's spent...

    Suzuki 75hp

    Thanks guys I guess what I was asking is if it's considered a decent motor. I'm just now reading up and learning. I did figure out from these forums to stay away from Force outboards. But if this Suzuki is ok mechanically, does this generation Suzuki have a history of good or bad? . I surely...
