The Chief will stay outboard as SC created her OUTBOARD. I have owned her for 15 years and never knew she was a rare and desirable model. Sorry for my lack of knowledge and thank you all for putting me strait. The Chief has been sitting for 3 years due to divorce problems. Boat and trailer was mine, motor was not. Today the SC gods must want the Chief to remain OB because I a got a phone call saying keep the old Merc 650 OB and come by and get the cuddy cushions and 6 ft sunbrella camper canvas, both of witch I thought were gone for ever. I had just started to remove the Merc when I got the call, only removed the shifter/control box. Underneath the box was the SC id plate!! Saying 18' Starchief-V OB serial no 67 25862. Thinking maybe it's a 67, I checked the brochures as instructed by one of you guys [don't know how I missed it last night] and there was a burgundy [same colour I thought mine was originally] Starchief 18 OB with all the specs. In the pic there is a bride and groom and a chef holding a wedding cake. The summer I split with my wife I practically lived on the boat, any one like to guess what the SC gods are trying to tell me?
Hopefully I can awaken the old model 650 65 hp Merc 1972 I think without giving the Admiral of the Fleet an other heart attack with all your
help. I knew the hull was light but 860 lbs doesn't seen possible not that
I'm complaining. I think the old 650 pushed her to 27 mph not gps checked. Maybe with a newer 4 stroke 115 hp OB she could hit 40 mph,
any thoughts? I here talk of groups on this forum is there any SC groups
I should join? I am going to try to upload some pic with this post. I'm
going to post this as a new post seems strange to reply to my own post
if this is incorrect please move it and let me know.
This is a great forum I plan on being an active part of, great boats
and greater people make a great forum.
Thank you for the honest replys.
