    1972 Starcraft Holiday 21'

    Thanks for the response. I ended up ordering the seats, adding up the individual widths of the 3 sections totals 58" so I'll have about 6-7" of clearance. I'll mess with the layout and see what looks best. If anyone else is interested in seats from that site I found coupon code BBS10 for 10%...

    80s Glasply Impulse Reviews?

    Can't find much info on these boats, anyone know anything about them? What I've gathered is that the hull is a copy of a donzi with fiberglass floor and stringers - true? Wood transom?

    Hey guys, I'm looking at a fiberglass 1972 Sabre Craft boat with a webcor constructed hull. I can't find much info on this construction method used on Bell Boy and Saber Craft boats, but what I do know is that the stringers are made of open cell foam and fiberglass. This is attractive to me...

    What Older Boats have Fiberglass Stringers?

    Considering buying Starcraft SS - 16 vs 18'? Common Issues? Where to Find?

    My wife started talking about boats this year when the weather started warming up, so I have been doing some research. We don't currently have a boat but I grew up on my families boats on lakes across the US. I had a few small aluminum boats as a kid in MI and NJ (12' Lowe with 9.9). We are...
