Interesting steering counsel, took me a second to find it in the second pic

Great looking hunting boat, You can load the up bow with plenty of goose decoys

Nice looking boat SCStriper, you need to give more info, length, hp ect. Is that a tilt trailer I see? It won't be long now and you will be after the big uns.

Re: Have you seen a starcraft like this?

Good God NB, my ignorantism is on high tonight. You asked SS where in Va he was from and I thought " how the heck did he know SS was from Va?" Then I looked at the boat again....I'm such a dumb***** sometimes Hey SS, when you start catching the stripers let me know, been to SML once and loved it there, another reason for my resto. I know NB gets stripers from the Bay. Dale

They are biting now. I havent made it out but they are biting. Bait is also very easy i heard. If you get into it tell me and i will give you a good forum to get all information needed.

Re: Have you seen a starcraft like this?

I'm in Winchester. We keep the boat at Lake Anna but we do two weeks at SML every July

I grew up in a resort town on the Chesapeake so I'm a little more knowledgable when it comes to saltwater stripers.

Re: Have you seen a starcraft like this?

wow that boat looks almost just like my 16' 1969 mariner.... even though if you measure it from tip to transom she is 17' 9" in length.... which is ok cheaper to tag..... I have a similar console..

Re: Have you seen a starcraft like this?

We have it's twin! We've had it in the family for 30 odd years and still use it quite frequently. I just joined this site to get all the info I can about the boat. In fact I didn't know what model Starcraft it was until I started snooping around this site. I'll see if I have a few pictures around to post. We only use a 20 Johnson (tiller handle) although this fall we are going to undertake a proper refit, redo the deck and outfit it with a 40 or 50 with all the controls and steering - the way it should be. What a solid craft though. Nearly indestrucible! We've had ours sunk twice! (I had to dive for the motor, although the fuel tank was like a buoy!)

Great site here - tons of great information

I woulda said 69 Mariner too. My uncle just bought one from a neighbor and it looks EXACTLY like the pic.
