Look what I bought today!

[lindy46]

A beautiful 1961 Starcraft Arrow with a Merc 400. Boat is unbelievable - looks like new. Floors are solid, as is the transom. Hull looks perfect. Finish is shiny with nary a spider crack anywhere. All the rubber moldings are soft and flexible. Upholstery is near perfect. Seat frames wood is perfect. Motor looks very nice also. Can this be original? I'm not familiar with Starcraft boats, and this is my first Mercury motor, so I will have lots of questions on that. I'm happy!

Nice boat !!!!!! (It's kinda sad to say, BUT I can remember when those boats were either new, or not very old !!!!! )

I think the price and or the previous owner would have had a good clue if the boat was re-worked, it sure does look to be near to as new condition ? It is 48 years old

So give a little info, how much did you give for it ? where did you get it ? where does it live ?
Wow its nice, almost had to be covered very well in a very climate controlled environment and used very little and taken care of very well to stay that nice IMO.

Good luck with that beaut.

That's amazing!
I have no idea how it can be that old and look that clean.
Did the owner keep it vacuum sealed??
