I know it says Starcraft but I'm told that is just a sticker. I want to know what I just bought. Thank You for your help.boat5.jpgboat2.jpgboat1.jpgboat3.jpgboat4.jpg

Check the hull number - should start with CC if it's a chris craft.

Looks very similar to a Thompson and the windshield lines and the chines are also similar to a Chris Craft. That said, Chris Craft Corsairs were built in the Thompson factory when they came together with Chris Craft. That is probably why folks may be telling you its a Chris Craft. I don't know of any aluminum models from Chris Craft, but I can look. There is a book, a definitive guide for all Chris Craft models and I'll see if there is anything in there on aluminum models. Do you know if there is a model number or name? BTW, clever use of a pair of Harley FLH hard bags in the cockpit!

Your boat is too old to have a manufacturer's plate, but not too old to have a hull ID number. Check at the bow below the rub rail. Might find a series of letters and numbers stamped in. Not all hull ID numbers for Chris Craft started with CC. I have a Corsair and there are no "C"s in my hull ID.

I looked in the guide and there is no record that Chris Craft aver produced an aluminum hull. Could very well have been designed by someone at Chris Craft or they simply copied the lines in their design. In either case, your boat is not a Chris Craft.
