Starcraft id help

[bstump13]

Hey guys new here. I am trying to figure out what model boat this is, or get an opinion on maximum hp for this boat i picked up for duck hunitng. Title says its a 1969 16'. Currently has a 25 hp on it. It is a heavy duty boat and would like to put a bigger motor on it.

here she is. any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Starcraft id help

look at the 3rd sticky down from the top of the Starcraft forum...
Starcraft brochures....clic on 1969 there is a chart with HP Limits and measurements of
different model boats...get out your tape measure...look at the transom width...
is it the Mariner with 45HP limit or the Supersport with 85HP limit??

looks like a Mariner to me but very hade to tell from the pic you posted. The overall length, The width and depth at the transom will help the very smart people here in identifying her for you. No tag on the inside?

Starcraft only offered two open bowed-non cartopper models in 69. The Supersport-V and the Mariner-V. The Mariner had a stern like a row boat and the SS came with the splash well. I'd say this is a Modified SS. It's rated to 85 HP.
