I havent been on the boards much since I completed the rebuild on my '72 Glastron V153 2 years ago, the last time my Wife and I were out on it she said she wished we had a bigger boat, so when I came across this StarCraft SS 180 last December that needed a rebuild I jumped at it. Boat, trailer and an '85 75 HP Merc, last registered in '90 was asking $900 OBO....$300 later it was in my driveway. So far Ive only got it tore down to the hull removing the consoles, rotten floor and frozen foam, the new floor pieces are cut and 2 coats of Spar on the bottom side, and new foam pieces cut. When the weather warms up a little I can clean the hull and fill with water to check for leaks. The hull appears to be in very good shape, no dents or cracks anywhere, just very dirty inside and out, the orange paint is very faded so a repaint will have to be done. Im not messing with the Merc motor because I have a '79 Johnson 85 from the Glastron (too heavy) that Im putting on it. I will post some pics later, Ive been reading through the StarCraft boards and want to thank everybody that contributes, this site is a wealth of info. REMOVED - MOD EDIT
