1970 Fiberglass Starcraft. What is she?

[horsecapades]

Hello All,
I have a registered Starcraft fiberglass boat. Year is 1970 with a 120hp mercruiser. The owner thought it was a V-120 and I believe that was because the motor was a 120hp. The boat is in excess of 16' so I thought perhaps it was a v series being either the v-160, 180 or 200, but the pictures dont look the same. The paint is original which means that based on that, the stripe is wrong. Any suggestions? I have 2 pictures posted here:

The Chieftain went to Boston, MA. The gentleman who bought the boat had a family history tied to it. He flew out one day, looked at it, flew home and had it shipped from Wisconsin to Boston. It is currently in the process of being torn apart and fully restored. I mean every nut and bolt. I cant wait to see it. He is giving to his father and grandfather as a b-day present.
I new boat is 16' and the original owner says the paint is original but I cant see it with the squared off blue line

Horsecapades, I have the 69 and 71 brochures here and the V160 or V160 Modified have the stripe with the hook and the starcraft emblem is also different. I really don't see them changing the stripe and emblem pattern one year and then changing right back. Looks like maybe someone has altered this one ?

You think they altered the stripe and the logo, maybe because they didnt like it. Otherwise, from what you see, does it look like the v-160 to you. Thanks, Bill

Yes it does. I cant wait to see it. Maybe I'll take a vacation to the northeast and go for a ride. If he sends pictures, I will post them

Why is the boat numbers all blacked out. Do you have a clear title ? LOL Nice looking boat.
