Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

whatever...i think everybody here knows its about the money. no matter how bad you want to fix that boat and take that boat out and give that boat attention...if you aint got the money honey, well you aint gonna have a boat.

rick... what did ya think of the videos of the imp? since the tune-up that 75 screams. i was soooo happy!

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

HA! Not bloody likely. I think I've done as much as I'm going to do to this Jupiter. I'll employ all my new knowledge on my eventual SS.

im with you there. there are a few things i didnt exactly do right on mine. but im not going to rip it apart... im storing the knowledge for a future 19' SS.

That's basically the same exact build as my 91 Legend. The transom is a little different but the splash well and the bow are nearly identical. If I wasn't on the West Coast and it wasn't a pick-up only I'd be seriously thinking about it. I think you should be buying it right now and telling your wife you lost your wallet with 1200.00 in it. Wait a day and tell her a guy found it but was forced to spend the money because he and his family were starving because they all lost their jobs. But.... he has this boat. Yeah, that might just work... LOL..

Ha! Yeah that might work. Nah, she's a sharp one my wife. Anyway, this boat is nice and a fair price but it's far from ideal. I'd like one with a nicer trailer, and preferably a 100-115 on it or at least a 1978 or newer motor. I really don't need another early 70's OMC 85 V4. I got that covered already

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

my wife totally wouldnt buy a story like that either. i think anyone who is into boats would have a hard time cinvincing their wife that really happened that way!

got any extras?? lol. i was searching western mass craigslist yesterday because i am at my dads right now and i thought maybe i could find a deal close by... came across a 69 johnson 85 hp with a "bad lower unit" and was listed for $100. when i called to inquire, the guy informed me that the piston for the ELECTRIC SHIFT is all messed up.

yeah. not touching that with a 100 foot pole.

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

Andy, '72 and earlier are electric shift. RUN AWAY!! If you can find a '78 or newer that would really be ideal because they use the more modern T&T set ups that you can find for around $200. If you get a pre-'78 one and want to add T&T you can pretty much forget it. $$

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

I don't know guys.. I'm all confused... Even if I buy the boat and give it to one of you it sounds to me like none of your wives would believe that either. Too bad, I was actually thinking about it.

Hmmmmm...With NB helping out with the emblems..and Bret's bow rails..I think she'd actually go for that one sschefer! She has seen the hospitality of you guys!!

I'll PM you my address for delivery

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

LOL I think mine might actually go for that one . She did believe that a guy gave me the 64 crestliner and $300.00 in trade for a used air conditioner .

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

Hey Rick are you going to run that 80hp Merc on the coca-cola classic tin can? I was reviewing your pics from when you first got the old girl and man does that old Merc tower of power look bad

I desperately want to get the same vintage 7.5 Merc for my ultra-lite tinny

Has she been run in a bucket yet?

 

[Rickairmedic]

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

Hey HA yep thats the motor that came on her from the dealer new and thats the one she will be running when she goes back together . We did run her in a bucket when I picked her up infact I even got the bucket 55 gllon plastic drum with one side cut out to slip under the motor . I also have this one it is a 1959 Merc mark 58A 45HP .
