No idea what model or year this is, title has it as a 1900 Starcraft which is generic of course. Picked it up for a couple hundred bucks, with all necessary documents.
Trailer is solid but needs to be wire brushed and repainted, new lights, new wheels/tires, and new
fenders.
Engine is a 25 hp Gale and very clean having been stored inside. It has evinrude simplex controls, which I will post pics of later. I definitely have questions regarding these controls because I have zero experience with vintage engine controls.
This is my second vintage tin boat that I'll be working on. I cut my teeth on a 1960’s Aerocraft 12' that has been quit solid. I just wanted something a little bigger and more stable for fishing.
Phase 1- trailer restoration
Phase 2- leak test, engine testing
Phase 3- strip, prime, paint
Phase 4- deck, steering console, and storage install
Phase 5- second guess entire design, cry over costs incurred, drink heavily
Phase 6- harden the ?&$! up and get her registered and catch some fish
Looking forward to sharing this project with the group. Doing this on my iPad, hope no one breaks their neck looking at the second photo.
