    1995 Spartan Supreme roller trailer

    I just bought a 1995 Crestliner sportfish 1750. It is setting on a 1995 Spartan Supreme roller trailer. The rollers are really loose, they move around a bit. I'm not sure that these are wobble rollers, but they sure do wobble. With the boat on the trailer, the rollers do move around and you can...

    I just bought another Starcraft I/O 1980 2.5l 120. I've looking for engine parts and looks like a lot of the hard parts are unavailable, like timing gears and such. I probably should have done that before buying it. Are the internals in fact unavailable, say I want to do a rebuild? Jeff

    ID this Starcraft.

    I think it was a 1980 or at least it was in the 80's. It was our first Starcraft, I liked it a lot. It was light towed well, however it was an OMC with the 3.8L V6 and the block cracked from PO not winterizing it properly. When I got it I had to rebuild the starter, I got it going and put it in...
