1974 Super Sport Starcraft... I think?

[rodnocker68]

Picking this up today. Barebone hull but with plenty of potential.

It has some issues. It is going to need quite a bit of work... but for $150.00 I could not pass it up.

Yes, it's a 16 footer. I'm glad the owner stripped it out too. He said it was rotted and waterlogged. He had stripped everything out of it with plans to take it to the scrap yard. Motor and trailer doesn't come with it but the trailer wasn't in the best of shape and the motor is missing the remote controls and the tiller arm is busted and most of it is missing. No clue if it will crank or not but I was after the hull anyways. The transom will need to be replaced as well. I would have probably done that anyways since I'm rebuilding it. May as well make it all new wood if I'm going to do it at all.

SAAAWWEEEEEEETTT! Love the bottom feeder deal!

Yah, if it's a 16' and kinda looking at the paint shadows, I'd say it may have very well been an SS at one point. But, you can make her what ever you want now

Welcome to the Starcraft band of weirdos!

Re: 1974 Super Sport Starcraft... I think?

pretty sure that IS an SS. too much hull to be one of the small 16'ers. no closed bow so it ain't a holiday. this leaves a Mariner and an SS by process of elimination, and the side rails are wrong for a Mariner.

but, as Jas correctly noted, it's now a tabla rasa......call it a 16' Rodnocker
