Well I just got me a used 18’ StarCraft boat. I’m still trying to figure out what year it is and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s older than 1972 because there is no HIN numbers on the transom. I’m hoping some of you experts can direct me to what model this is.

I'm no expert either but I would guess early 60's maybe. Dont think that is the original windshield ( I could be wrong though). the front navigation light appears to be an older style than my boat and its a 68. Whoever owned it dumped some good money in that custom canvas though.

Yes the front windshield definitely is a custom job. I'll take a few more pics tomorrow.

I did a bit more research and it looks like the first year they came out with the concave V hull was 1965. So it must be between 1965 and 1972. I suspect it is a Holiday model

That looks like a custom fabricated windshield. I’ve never seen the steering wheel close to the centre before. That’s odd
