Re: Starcraft Fever UPDATED W/pictures
With the last two I picked up, I have 6 in all. (And I don't even have an acre).
With a Starchief, SS, Sea Scamp, and then a Grumman, Duratech and one Duranautic, the yard is about full. The bad part is I just found a super nice 18' Holiday that will most likely be coming my way.
I sold the 63 Jupiter, and might thin the herd a bit more before long.
The SS and the Duratech will be my permanent keepers, along with my Grumman SSF. I'll most likely be letting the 67 Starchief go since it's the least usable for fishing the river here.
I really hate to let go of the Starchief, but the SS is too close to being done, and the Duratech is also an easy rebuild. The Starchief will need a new rear deck, paint, and the motor has no power tilt. My plans for that were to strip it down, put in a new deck, new seats, some new paint and repower it with a newer motor. The 1976 Evinrude 135 supposedly runs but I've never messed with it.
I have $1500 in it the way it sits, on a newer full roller trailer with new tires and rims last fall. I really never thought I'd sell it but my fishing habits have changed, my truck likes the smaller boats better and it's the only boat that won't fit in the new garage I have planned. (Local ordinances won't let me build a garage tall enough to hold it here).
I hate to think that if I do all the work on that boat it will have to sit outdoors.
I did have an offer to swap just the boat for a newer motor, I may still take that deal, then sell the trailer to recoup my money.
The worst part is that I searched for years to find that boat.
Especially one that's not been in saltwater.
(How many boats per acre is simply a matter of how many you can get away with before the neighbors balk or the township passes an ordinance against boats).
