For those of you that may remember me, I was given an old silverline that is junk but the motor and trailer are good. I was looking for a cheap boat for the motor and trailer.<br /><br />Well I think I found one. It's an older (but not as old as the silverline) starcraft alum, 16' or 17' (I didn't have a tape measure when I looked at it). It is sitting in the back row of a dealer. Looks like the previous owner made a custom wood floor, put in new carpeting, and put in a live well. It really looks nice actually. I figure it must have been owned by a person serious about fishing from the floor plan and all the rod holders. Unfortunately, the swivel seats were taken out so all that remains for seating is the bases.<br /><br />Over all it looks to be in decent shape. The transom wood looks like it will be questionable in a season or two. It has a little water in the bilge but not much considering the rain we've gotten lately.<br /><br />But here is my concerns. The first is the transon. Is the wood hard to replace for when it does go? Secondly, anybody have a geuss for hp rating on this? The plague with all the ratings is gone. This is a bigger v-haul hull. The dealer said it might be fine for my 110hp, but without the plague he said he won't mount my motor to it (I was going to anyways).<br /><br />Now here is my other problem. Where do I scrap my old fiberglass silverline? Do landfills/construction waste sites take them if they're haulled in? <br /><br />Thanks everybody in advance.<br /><br />Oh ya, the starcraft is $100 less then my budget for a boat (which was $300).
