Re: 1960's Starcraft Something or other
I don't know, this brown goo at the transom:
Looks like the same seam sealant that SC used, not an owner added sealant...... Won't be the 1st time I've been wrong today, but to me it looks like this:
Not the big puddle of goo, the sealant along the chine seam just above the forward most rib. You can see it dripping out at the top center of the pix.............. Maybe a good scrub down/pressure wash 1st, then decide what's SC's work & what's likely a PO's work.
2 of those 3 screws look like they were run thru rivet holes that still had the rivet's buck tail in them, so what were they for? Damage on the exterior?
I think my Jupiter is 15ft 9in. Not 16ft. Some states don't round the length up, they just drop the inches. So my Jupiter could easily be listed as both a 15ft or a 16ft if it was built before 1973 or was never titled/registered until it was sold by the original owner..
My Jet's are different lengths and neither are actually 15ft like they were listed by SC when they were sold as 15ft runabouts.
Like I said, unless it's really important to you, on principle, pick what YOU think best matches your boat & specs & run w/ it.
When I get a physical inspection on a boat, required in WV to get a title, the cop that comes to take a look doesn't care about ANYTHING other then whether or not there are numbers (possibly a ser# or HIN#) present and that I have paperwork indicating I own a vessel w/ those numbers, usually out of state registration in my name. Once he signs off on the inspection yes or no HIN/ser# form, I fill out all the rest of the info as I see fit. No one at the DMV or state ever sees the boat, or checks to see if how I describe it is accurate.
