    1967 Starcraft (Starchief?)

    Re: 1967 Starcraft (Starchief?) Great looking boat!!! I see on your outdrive support system you are holding up your outdrive with is a chain to the transom eye bolt. I suggest you fabricate/build/buy a "hook" that supports the weight/stresses back onto the outdrive/motor assembly and not onto...

    4 cyl I/O to a 6 cyl in a Holiday

    Has anyone up-graded from a 4 Cyl 120 to a 6 Cyl 150 on a Starcraft Holiday? I looked and looked at it in the garage all winter and convinced myself the only thing different between the 2 was about 6". Now, 6" could be a BIG length difference in some matters but on an engine box??? Well, it...

    120 inboard rebuild question

    Re: 120 inboard rebuild question I did all that and more to my 120 and was disappointed. Find an "organ donor", move the front mount up about 4" and put a 6 cylinder in. It bolts right up. Grzzzz

    Should I put my gas tank.....there?

    Re: Should I put my gas tank.....there? I wouldn't give up on the under the deck tank yet. Moeler makes a tank that will fit nicely in your 16' (I think, I have an 18') and keeps your CG right and weight off the back. Filler hose exits nicely on top of the front top deck and vent out the...

    Im thinking about buying this 1967 Starcraft, priced right?

    Re: Im thinking about buying this 1967 Starcraft, priced right? Sippen Nice boat! I paid $600 for my 66 Holiday 4-5 years ago. But, mine was an I/O. My preference. I think yours is in better shape than mine was. I rebuilt the motor ($1600.00) so you are ahead of the game already if your...
