Im intersted to know if there are any other resources out there that would be able to tell me what kind of starcraft this is from the pictures i was sent. The HIN is STR 23255 M73H. To my knowledge its a 1973 year, but having trouble identifying the model. iboats doesnt have the catalog brochure for 1973 so i cant pin point the model in the other years and also doing research online(google etc)

The HIN tells us it's a 1973 Starcraft, that's all a HIN will tell you.

You have pics, we don't have pics, we need pics or a link to an ad if it has any info.

Ran your HIN through a HIN decoder and the results are below. All it tells us is she is a 1973 Starcraft, as I said above.


Success! STR23255M73H is of the standard HIN type called Model-Year HIN. If you are buying this boat/craft then you should get the Boat-Alert History for 19.99$ from the two certified boat history report providers. [h=1]STR HIN Decoder[/h] Our HULL ID Decoder breaks down the Hull identification number into the following information:
The HIN or CIN you have entered meets the Model-Year HIN format. It might also be a type that contains the country code and thus the boat comes from USA or Other . The serial number of the HIN is 23255 and is set by the boat builder. This boat or vessel has a Certification Date of (1973) and a Model Year of 1973 with month of build (March) based on the formatting of your hull_identification_number (HIN) .

The manufacturer identification code (MIC) of your craft identification number (CIN or HIN) is STR. This MIC (STR) stands for the company name Starcraft which is currently In Business. This boat manufacturer has other company names (STR sometimes goes by these name(s) Monark, Spectrum, Fisher, or Northwood).

This company (Starcraft) is owned by David Frey and is located at Po Box 65 in New Paris state of In. It manufactured this vessel and placed your HIN or CIN on the hull. The Parent Company for this boat maker is SMOKER CRAFT, INC.(SMK)Starcraft has started making boats, yachts and other watercraft as of 6/4/1973. The Model Name is uncertain for this Starcraft. But we have approximations: AMERICAN or 14SVOB or 24CHM4IO or STARCRAFT or SUPERSPORT or HOLIDAY or SUPER SPORT or ISLANDER or HOLLIDAY.
Contribute a better one to the database please:
Make sure to compare the date of boat manufacturing with the dates in which the company was actually in business.

The US Coast guard provides this comment about this watercraft manufacturer: See (dem) O'day Using This Code 86&87. See Xdy,ray,cab,sur Also Has Fmc From Fisher Marine, Building Utility, V-bottom Fishing (rivetted), Pontoons & Fiberglass Boats At This Location; See (bmd) (fmc) & (bff). Northwood Was Private Label Mfg 1991-1993. 970107 Starcraft No Longer Owned By Brunswick; Acquired By Employees. See Also (plx) & (mnx). Starcraft Marine Llc Produces Starcraft & Monark; Tracker Marine Produces Fisher & Spectrum. 04/28/2001 Updated Per Rni. Note: Starcraft Shares Some Resources With Smoker/sylvan (smk) & (syl). Str, Along With Mnk And Plx Merged With Smk On May 08. Also Changed Poc From Merle Graybill To David Frey. All Production Moved From Topeka To New Paris, In..

This all the 1973 models Starcraft made, so it's inconclusive. You have the pics, show them to us along with the info jbcurt00 asked about and we can help. Click on Forum Help in my sig and look at the tutorial about adding photos to posts.

That serial number is close to mine which is a 73 super sport, is it open bow or closed?
