Hi all. I've been lurking around and trying to pick up on things... it ain't sinkin in. I bought my first boat the other day. I liked the style and it has character, thought it would be like restoring an old car... wrong. I am determined though to get it in the water and back to good shape. Plus the warden won't let me live it down if I don't, lol. Her first words was.. you didn't.
The paperwork says 1965 Starcraft but doesn't say what kind. According to the links here it looks like the Jupiter V. I may be wrong. The engine I looked up the model number. It is an 1964 Evinrude Lark VI 45hp.
The man I bought it from was going to put a new ignition switch, didn't happen. He left all the wires just hanging there. Where would I find a diagram or buy book on this? Where could I buy a switch at? The top frame. The one on the boat is good but I look like Lurch sitting in it, needs a bit of height.
Also there are a few things missing, like what I think went there was a mirror on the dash. Where does one buy parts at? I would like to maybe do it like some of my cars, a few upgrades but the integrity of the vehicle remains as it was made.
Thanks in advance.
