Help a new boater I.d. This vessel?

[Starcrafter87]

I think it's a 1976 or 77 16' it's in pretty good shape. Needs an interior resto. As I'm serving overseas I haven't been able to really work on it since I obtained it. Going home soon and would like to have some knowledge on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well it is a starcraft so it is a good boat to begin with, you made a smart choice there. Because it is an alum hull, the only wood to be concerned with will be the transom wood and not really that hard to replace. The rest of the interior is left to your imagination, look under other restoration projects in this forum and you will be amazed at the ideas people can come up with. Lots of detailed explanations and pictures to help you along the way. While i cannot give you the exact year, I can say that it is a really nice looking starcraft, I I do like the color scheme, good luck and welcome aboard. Please keep us in the loop on your progress.

Congrats on your purchase of what looks like a SpongeBob-themed StarCraft Holiday (I believe a '77)...and one that's been well cared for! I see a shiny bow-light and windshield; zero corrosion. Motor may need some love.

Welcome to the mob and thank you for your service!!

Here's a few years either side of where you think your's is:
1974
1976
1977
1978

Color certainly looks right for a 1977 OB 16' Holiday
