It doesn't look like there's been a lot of activity there over the past few years though.
Not sure if everyone got rid of their Starcrafts or if attrition just took its course?
It been a while since I saw one on the water here. Boats in general seem few and far between in the past few years.
There was a Starchief listed for free on CL all last fall and through the winter too, not sure if it got taken or if they gave up.
Ads there and on FB seem to go unseen for all items lately.

I had the same motor on my '68 Starchief in the 90's but upgraded it to a newer model a few years before selling it about 12 years ago.

I am scraping mine. Or sell for scrap price. Not sure anyone would be interested.
