[QUOTE="thill, post: 408928, member: 4972"] Okay, NOW I have it figured out! After noticing the differences in the specs, I went out with a tape measure. 73" beam, 63" chine... Without a doubt, this is the Starfish. But why the 33 HP rating? Looking again, I realize that the transom has been modified. And they did an excellent job! They used thick, square aluminum stock, stacked and TIG welded together. It is the most intelligent, strong transom modification I have ever seen. Someone had their thinking cap on that day! I guess it WAS a college boat. Probably the professor of the welding course did it. I'll definitely have to remember that trick! That being the case, I'm now very comfortable with putting a 40 on this boat. I'll have to start working on it soon. Any experiences with Princecraft out there? -Tony [/QUOTE]
