[QUOTE="jggassert, post: 390127, member: 13654"] 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.

Doing this on my iPad, hope no one breaks their neck looking at the second photo. [/QUOTE]
